16th Birthday - HELP!
16th Birthday - HELP!
just realized my God daughter's 16th is on Friday. I'm in Jersey she is in Michigan! I need to send her something ASAP! Any ideas? I have no clue about 16 year olds!

I don't know the driving age for her state but in PA, 16 is when they can get their drivers license. You can always go with the driving theme....keychain, iPod connection to radio, bluetooth for her cell phone. If she's getting her own car you can get her matching steering wheel cover, trash bag, seat cover, etc.
One more thing I always get a new driver....one of those tools that can cut the seat belt, break windows, and beat someone senseless
(for safety purposes of course)

I vote for a car since she's old enough to drive. You'll be her favorite aunt for life. But jewelry seems like a good choice, if you nix the car idea. Good luck. Teenage girls are tough to buy for.

some sort of purse and maybe a pair of sun glasses.
the type of purse & sun glasses, of course, will depend on the girl.
i loved purses & sun glasses when i was 16 but i was a hippie so i bought fun stuff made in india from the local head-shop. lots of embroidery and exotic themes and colors. i carried butts, sun glasses, a hacky sack and a lighter in it. i liked hidden pockets for carrying a few "other" items.
but, if she's a designer chick- go for names like coach and stuff like that. she might also like a charm bracelet or necklace from tiffany's if she's a designer name kinda gal.

My two cents.. blue tooth and ipod connections may not be the best thing to encourage a new driver to use. Too many distractions for a new driver. Love all the other driving related ideas thoughBug wrote:I don't know the driving age for her state but in PA, 16 is when they can get their drivers license.

A desinger bag is a great idea. Try Coach on line
