Does anyone have any ideas on a special /memorable gift to get for a girl/niece who is turning 16? Her party is the 18th, so it has to be fairly quick. (Can't wait for mail delivery)

thanks!

What can I do next?

I was given a pearl necklace. It might be a little old fashioned, but I still have it, and I wore them at my wedding. All my girlfriends wore pearls when they married too.

You didn't mention your budget. But if you have a Tiffany's jewlery store near you, they have some super fun sterling silver gifts that any 16yo would adore. Plus, it would be wrapped in the signature blue Tiffany's box and white ribbon. My hubby bought me two of their sterling silver rings for christmas and I love them:)

When my nieces turned 13, I got them a journal and a nice pen and on the first pages of the journal I wrote some of my favorite quotes, recipes and advice. I think it'd make a great Sweet 16 gift, too, because that's such a pivotal time in life! Plus, it's so cheap, you could still add something else to it too if your budget allows.

If you're interested, e-mail me and I can forward you all of the quotes/advice I gathered for them to get you started. They really loved it... when my younger niece turned 13 this year, she was all excited about getting her journal like her sister did!

My daughter received a gift card and picked out her key chain from Juicy that is huge and gaudy but she'll never lose it!! She loves it and she is 17 now.

My daughter is very picky about her car... she keeps wet wipes, etc in it to keep it spotless. She has a car emergency kit.

Other than car accessories, something personal and maybe monogrammed. We also gave daughter diamond earring studs.

Happy Birthday to your neice! 16 is exciting!

A necklace or bracelet w/ her initials? Nice set of earrings?

Is she getting her driver's licenses? If so, I a nice engraveable keychain and a gas card?

I would think that a "womanly" day would be just the ticket. It is time spent well with a woman she respects getting advice, having a listening ear, going to a "grown up" restaurant to eat (fancier clothes more upscale). Earlier in the day get ready together, paint nails, style hair, make up etc - make a memory out of it. If that is not quite your relationship - jewlery is always wonderful. I randomly take my neices out on days as I decribed above so for their sweet sixteens they each got jewlery - adult syle charm bracelets - well one was a necklace she's like me and does not like things on her wrist!

Is she getting a car? Or her license? My friend gave us all personalized key chains (for our "new" car keys even if we would only be driving our parent's on an occasion.) But some fun stuff for her car could be fun. Otherwise I know for many people this is when dating really begins so maybe a few peices of nice makeup. Or a nice handbag.
