The Perfect Gift!


B's niece Honey is turning thirteen in November. She and I are close and whenever there's a family function, she will always sit next to me so we can discuss girly stuff. I love talking to Honey for she reminds me of myself when I was a little girl so this year I want to get something ultra nice for her birthday.

Thinking of great birthday gifts for 13th birthday is definitely easier than racking my brain for a perfect gift for someone older like B. And getting gifts for girls is always much easier than getting gifts for boys. Maybe it's because I'm a girl too so I am more in tuned with what we fancy as opposed to what the opposite sex would find cool or interesting.

Usually, B and I will get Honey a nice Barbie doll for her collection. Just like me, she too has a collection and hers is of all the cool Barbie Dolls, especially those limited edition types. But this year, we thought of getting her something more grown-up. She will officially turn into a teenager this November so it has got to be something special.

I did a little online window shopping earlier and found some great 13th Birthday Gifts for Honey. I'm keeping the list to only three items so I won't further confuse myself with all the cool birthday gifts available for a thirteen year old; don't forget how fickle I can be sometimes!

First on the list is this very pretty red hardcover Diary that comes with a lock! Made out of goatskin leather, this lovely diary has 224 lined pages with gold leafing for added elegance. I started writing in my diary when I turned 13 too. Boy the things I used to vent about in my diary and I still have all of them secretly hidden in my treasure box! Diaries are precious and nobody but me will know what I wrote in them all those years growing up! angkatkening
I also like this pretty niece Charm Bracelet, which I think would make a perfect keepsake 13th birthday gift. With a sterling silver finish, this glass beaded bracelet comes with a silver toned heart charm and is a perfect keepsake gift for your special niece. On its own, it already looks pretty but individually gift boxed with a verse card, this bracelet will make a beautiful gift for a young girl about to enter the exciting crazy world of teens!
And last but definitely not least, is a Her Changes Kit, which is a great gift for a young girl going through puberty. This gift pack consists of a journal/calendar, guide with information on puberty and what to expect, a mood pen & 3 fragrances. I would have loved to receive this for my 13th birthday especially since there are three mini fragrances in this gift set! tepuktangan

So there you have it, three great presents, which you too can use as gift ideas for your thirteen year old girl. They all look really wonderful to me and I think Honey will love any one of them. Now for the big question...which one should I go with? Care to venture your thoughts?

you know what marzie, i never really liked playing barbie dolls! hehehe

ayie,  August 22, 2009 6:08 AM

i agree, it's easier to give gifts for girls than boys. Girls have wider selection than boys. Advance happy birthday to your niece =)
