  Shopping for a teenage girl can be difficult because their interests and hobbies change as they grow older. When thinking of a gift for a birthday or holiday, first consider her personality and search for a gift that best matches it. Consider shopping at a mall because, with the range of stores there, you are sure to find the perfect gift.

For the Fashion Conscious

  Teenage girls interested in the latest fashions would appreciate gifts of clothing, jewelry and accessories that express their interests and personality. Before buying, consider her personal style by observing the types of clothing and accessories she wears or what kind of fashion magazines she reads. Use magazines to determine the latest fashions so you do not buy something she already owns. Ideas for accessories include purses, hats, scarves and belts. You can match accessories with outfits that she already owns. Eye catching costume jewelry will add flare to an outfit and is inexpensively found at most stores. Other ideas for jewelry include personalized items such as necklaces and bracelets. If you are willing to spend a large amount of money, consider buying designer items such as jeans or sunglasses.

For the Athlete

You could also take her and her friends to the local batting cages or practice field where she can have fun while perfecting her skills. Other popular gifts for sporty teenage girls include keepsakes, such as collecting cards and autographed posters and balls. To create a memorable birthday, give her tickets to see her favorite sports team with her friends.
