Great Gifts For a Teenage Girl: Ideas to instill gratefulness and giving

One thing that we tried to instill in our boys was a sense of gratefulness. This is not always easy in this day and age. Some ideas that have worked for us are listed below. Try these with your teenage girls!

  1. Each time the boys made money, whether it was allowance, money they’d earned at a job, or gift money for their birthday, we asked that they save some for gifts that they might have to purchase in the future. This showed them that what they saved mattered. And, when they were shopping for gifts for friends or family, it meant so much more to them that they were contributing to it themselves.
  2. When our boys received gifts, they were required to write thank you notes. This was not something that they enjoyed, but they still had to do it. Sometimes, I was better than others at reminding them to do this, but I felt like it is so important to show gratitude to others for taking the time to purchase something that they like or enjoy. Most gifts cost money as well, so that needed to be appreciated as well.
  3. My boys had to think ahead and purchase gifts for one another. They really put a lot of thought into the process, and it’s been fun over the years to see what they come up with. Usually 2 go in together for the third brother, and so they work together, which is also really fun to see. Sometimes they purchase gifts, and occasionally, they will make gifts.
  4. They were also supposed to get my husband and I each something or something for us together-we try to give them a few ideas ahead of time! (They are really good about this still today!)
