My friend's Sweet 16 is coming up and I have no idea what to get her. Most of my friends said that they usually just give gift cards or cash but I feel like a Sweet 16 gift should be more personal than that, especially since I am really good friends with this girl, not just casual friends. Anyone have any ideas? I was thinking some kind of jewelery but I don't know anything about jewelery, I don't want to spend TOO too much, and I don't know if she'll thinks it's "appropriate" (for lack of a better word). I feel like jewelery is more of a girl to girl or bf to gf type of thing and as much as I would like to be the bf, I know she isn't interested in that, so I don't know if giving her jewelery might make her uncomfortable.

Anyone have any suggestions? (Especially any girls?) Because I have absolutely no idea what to get her.

I feel very compelled to tell you to order up some pizza, but I don't feel like it's the best idea though...

"Its the thought that counts." Is the best I can say, really, especially since gift-getting is best done on a per-person basis, get something you know that person will like and want to keep. Past that, can't help without more info.

Not just casual you say? Mmkay!

Simple jewelry, such as a silver ring, engraved or not, but something not too elaborate. Those run for about 40-60$, and they make pretty good gifts.

Well, this all depends on what kind of stuff she's into. My sister was more than delighted to receive CDs and some clothes for her sweet 16, but thats becuase she was the type of teenage girl who was obsessed with music and clothes. Does your friend drink tea, or does she drink coffee? Does she read books or watch T.V.? Is she a gamer, or does she think low of gamers? Get her something you know she'll enjoy. If you feel getting her jewerly would make your relationship uncomfortable than do not her jewerly, unless she hints for it. Thats just my two cents, take from it what you will considering we don't know each other.

Well if you are really close with this person, I would highly suggest AGAINST getting cash or gift cards, unless thats what they really asked for.

I would look deeper. Get her something more personal. You know her better than we do, so you should know what she likes and doesn't like. If you get her something she is into, it shows that you are paying attention. That it came from the heart.

I'll agree with Bara on engraving, but it doesn't have to be jewelry, you can get anything engraved and she will probably love it. If she likes music, get her an iPod shuffle with her name engraved in it like the one I got for my birthday. Those go for what? Like $40?

Also. Does somebody have a crush????

zanderlex : Yes, I thought I made that quite obvious xD

Thanks everyone. I'm thinking maybe I'll let one of my female friends pick out some kind of bracelet or something (because I don't know jack about that kind of stuff lol) and I'll write something nice in the card. Not like a poem, but something sweet.

tgags123 : Forget something sweet, you should confess your love on the card.

zanderlex : Lol she knows.

tgags123 : Awe. That sucks. I had the perfect idea for a card.




Dear *Insert Name Here*

This is from your crush.

P.S. I'm the one standing right behind you.


From. Me.

tgags123 : WHO IS IT? WHAT'S HER INSTAGRAM?

Barathemos : Lmao you already know who it is I still have feelings for her. The 1 month that we "dated" was really her just feeling bad for me lol.

tgags123 : IS IT THE GIRL WHO BLOCKED ME?!?!?!?!

Barathemos : Yup lmao. She really doesn't like you. She still mentions you every once in a while xD
