Find a birthday gift for a teenager

Our tips for choosing the right birthday gift for your teen

It’s not always easy to know what to give a teenager for their birthday. At that age, tastes and interests change quickly, and picking a gift they will truly enjoy can be a real challenge. The first thing to do is set yourself a budget. This helps you find affordable teen gift ideas while eliminating those that are too expensive. It’s very easy to get lost in the huge amount of information online, which is why Amikado tries to make things easier for you. In addition to a selection suited to both boys and girls, Amikado offers ideas grouped by budget (from €0 to €300) and by age range within the teen category, helping you identify the gifts most likely to appeal to your teenager. By setting yourself a limit first, you can narrow down the options and make birthday gift shopping much more pleasant, while saving time on your online research. For example: gift them a personalised multi-purpose pouch or a personalised t-shirt for €16.90, a personalised tote bag for €14.90.

A birthday gift based on your teen’s interests

After setting your budget, it’s important to look at your teenager’s tastes—what they enjoy doing in life. Try to learn more about their personality, what they like doing in their free time and with their friends. You can ask yourself the following questions: What are their passions? Do they like music? Are they sporty? Do they enjoy taking care of themselves? Are they interested in nature and the environment? The more you know, the easier it will be to find a great gift. If you’re unsure, don’t hesitate to ask their friends or siblings for advice. Another helpful angle is the usefulness of the gift. A useful, practical gift immediately adds value and stands out. There’s nothing more frustrating than giving a gift that ends up forgotten in a cupboard. Amikado offers a selection of gifts based on your teen’s interests. Whether your teen is a boy or a girl, you’re sure to find the perfect gift — we also offer unisex items. If your teenager is sporty, consider a personalised sports bag with their name on it, or a customisable football keyring, basketball or golf version. If your teenage daughter loves taking care of herself, treat her to a personalised beauty set with her name. For practical gifts, we offer a wide selection of personalised water bottles, tote bags, mugs, pillows, candles and more everyday items you can customise with a name, a unique message or even a photo. Amikado also offers high-quality silver and gold-plated jewellery, all of which can be engraved.
