A reader asked me for gift ideas for 13 year old girls. I happen to have a 13-year-old daughter so here’s what I’m learning is cool to give as gifts.
Gifts for 13-Year-Old Girls
Mango Body Yogurt Moisturizer
Mmmm. This is a yummy smelling gel lotion made from Almond Milk.
Cinder
This is a great series for kids who are transitioning from middle grade to YA books! When Prince Kai asks Cinder, a human with cyborg parts, to fix something for him, she becomes entangled in a plot which puts her life at risk and the entire country’s fate is hanging in the balance. And, it turns out she’s not who she thinks she is. This is an AMAZING can’t-put-it-down series based on the fairy tales like Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Red Riding Hood! And, every book is just as good as the previous book.
Bose SoundLink Color Bluetooth Speaker
Bose high-quality sound with a waterproof, silicone exterior. Charge up to give yourself 8 hours of play time on the go. It’s compatible with Google Now and Siri.
Air Pods
Wireless, rechargeable headphones that fit inside your backpack or pocket.
Alexa Dot
The Alexa Dot was our successful compromise with our daughter who still wanted to listen to her music in her room but wasn’t allowed to have screen time in her bedroom. Now it’s become a favorite way to play music for both our girls. It’s voice-controlled and you can use it as an alarm, speaker, timer, and more.
iPad Pro + Apple Pencil
Both the Pro and the Apple Pencil haves been much-used gifts for both my girls. They’re loving the pencil for drawing apps and think the functionality of the Pro is so much better than their old iPads.
Nintendo Switch
The hottest gift of the 2017 Christmas season is still cool for 2018! This cool gaming system can be taken on the go for tabletop mode or connect it to your TV. You’ll get two Joy-Con controllers for multiple players. If you have kids who like gaming, this is a top gift choice.
You Got This Journal
Yaaaas. Be confident when you write in this flexible notebook with 256 lined white pages.
Sakura Micron Fine Line Pen Set
My daughter loves to make her notebooks colorful. These highly rated pens will work for her school notebooks and for her artwork.
Instax Mini 9 Camera Bundle
You’ll get this cool camera PLUS a carrying case, filters, albums, a selfie lens & MORE. My kids think this will be the best gift because it’s a fun thing to do with friends.
Foldable Hi-Fi Wireless Headphones
These aren’t just highly-rated, they’re really a good price, too! We also love that they fold up and come in 7 colors! Other features: stereo sound, ear cushion, wireless mode or wired, and a built-in mic.
Deep Blue by Jennifer Donnelly FANTASY
A seriously good girl power book for teens — this is the story of five mermaids who journey to find each other and then to the sea witches. An ancient evil is being unleashed and not only is trying to kill the girls, but enslave or kill their communities. Very entertaining!
Bluetooth Record Player Portable Suitcase with Built-in Speakers
Isn’t this the coolest? 3 speeds with vinyl to MP3 recording, Bluetooth, rechargeable battery, speakers, headphone jack and more.
PopSockets: Expanding Stand and Grip for Smartphones and Tablets
Teens love these — use to pop, tilt, wrap, prop, collapse, and grip your electronic devices.
