Birthday Gifts For A Teenager That They Will Love

My own daughter turned into a teenager this month and although she is now 13, it seems like yesterday that she was a baby. Since going to secondary school, our kids grow up so much more. But then when it comes to birthdays it is more difficult to think of fantastic birthday gifts for a teenager.

They are not quite adults, but also not kids either. There is this little in-between part of their life where it is difficult to know what they want, especially when they don’t know what they want themselves. Here are some ideas for gifts to buy for your teenager this year.

Livias Chocolate Teats From Pulsin

Many teenagers are finding out what they do and don’t like in the world now, even more than when they were toddlers. So it is usually the time that they might announce that they are vegan. They are at the age to know what being a vegan involves and they don’t want it to impact their life too much. If your teen is a chocolate lover and has just announced she is vegan – that’s okay as we have an awesome gift for you to give them.

Livia’s deliciously indulgent, chocolate goodies contain only 100% natural, plant-based ingredients so they are perfect for vegans. They are free from gluten, dairy, sugar, palm oil and preservatives. So they are perfect if you have special dietary requirements. You do not need to miss out on having treats when you deserve them. They are all individually wrapped and even the packaging looks like it is a quality product to give as a gift.

You can get Million Squares – an all-time favourite for cake lovers! They come in salted caramel and chocolate orange flavours. They are made in single portion sizes, so great for snacks to keep in their bedroom or to pop in their school bag as a snack.

Livia’s also makes some Cookie Dough Nugglets for kids and adults who love cookie dough. These come in raw cookie dough flavour and raw choc brownie flavour. The portion size is good again and they are covered in dairy-free chocolate, so perfect for vegans and dairy-free diets. You can buy these snacks from Pulsin.co.uk

Buy A Readly Subscription As An Eco-Friendly Gift

Tilly and I travel a lot and every time we are at the airport, she wants a magazine. This means spending more money at the airport and magazines are not cheap! And to be honest, the magazine gets shoved in a bag and ripped and is rarely ever read. So we have started using Readly on our gadgets now. Magazines can be read on the school bus, in their bedroom or as they are waiting for their friends.

With a Readly subscription, your teen can have the unlimited reading of 6,900 digital magazines and newspapers wherever she goes. Readly can be used offline because you can download as many magazines as you want and read them as you travel. Just make sure you have enough storage on your phone.

Readly is a sustainable way to read because reading a digital magazine results in 86% lower greenhouse gas emissions than reading a print version of the magazine. And it also saves money in your pocket. They also take up less space when you travel, because the magazines are on your device. You also get the daily newspapers through Readly. The number of times I have been on holiday and paid 5 Euro for a paper, now as we travel through Europe this summer, I can just open my phone or tablet to keep up with the news.

It costs £9.99 a month, which is great because a magazine can cost anything from £1.50 to £5.99 if you buy it from a shop. And an account can be used for up to 5 people in the household. So five different devices a month for unlimited, magazines and newspapers works out at £2.00 each. If you are buying Readly as a gift for your teen, you also benefit from it too.

Merlin Passes Make Fantastic Birthday Gifts For A Teenager

We had Merlin Passes when Tilly was a toddler and she absolutely loved all of the attractions. But since she was younger, there are many more attractions available with the Merlin Pass. And as Tilly is older, we can travel more to get to other attractions like Blackpool, York and Manchester.

Kim bought the Merlin Pass for Tilly this year. And then she gets a whole year of fun and excitement whenever she wants it. I can safely say it was the best gift she received this year. You need to prebook the attractions and there are days that you can’t use the passes. But that is all dependent on what level of pass you buy. You can also get discounts in the shops at the different attractions, and discounts in attractions when you go to Europe.

Beautiful Jewellery From Carat* As Birthday Gifts For A Teenager

Teenagers love jewellery, and you can buy them a lovely piece of ethical jewellery from Carat* Their gems are lab grown so they are not mined from conflict areas and the staff are paid fair wages. The gems are made in a safe working environment. Being ethical is all about what teenagers stand for these days. This gives a positive impact on our generation who are looking for alternatives to gemstones.

They focus on jewellery with the finest non-mined gemstones alternatives that you can get. Lab-grown gems are absolutely identical to mined gems. So you won’t be able to tell the difference between them when you look. But the difference runs deeper with all of the ethical positives in Lab-grown gems.

You can buy CARAT* jewellery online as well as over 100 stores around the world. And when you wear your beautiful jewellery from Carat* London, you will be wearing the same as many celebrities. Alisha Dixon, Emma Willis, Lady Gaga and Courtney Love are a few of the celebrities that wear Carat* London.

I didn’t know what to expect when I received the Gwen necklace from Carat* London. But as I said before, when I opened the box, it was breathtaking. The necklace is beautiful and perfect for wearing with jeans and a T-shirt or an evening dress on a night out. Your teenager will love this jewellery, not only because it looks so beautiful but for all it stands for. The Gwen necklace is available for £109.

Shopping Vouchers

Shopping vouchers make a great gift for teenagers, They have just started to become independent and they want to go shopping with their friends. So vouchers for their favourite clothes shops or book shops are a great idea. It gives them independence and they feel like a grown-up. I often find that if you give them cash, they waste it. But giving them vouchers gives you a little control over what they buy. So you know they won’t waste it.

Vouchers could also include gamer vouchers. With games costing £60+, getting them an Xbox or Playstation voucher means they can get that game they want.

Whatever you buy for your teenager for their birthday, I am sure they will love it.
