Entertainment by interest
The best way to make a birthday unforgettable - to present something that will give impressions. Any things, even the highest quality and expensive, sooner or later fail, cease to serve their owners. Impressions - this is what remains with us for life. Based on this, you can give a girl a ticket to a concert of her favorite band.
At the same time, do not forget to give a ticket in duplicate, because it is unpleasant and sad to go to a concert alone.
And having two tickets in her arms, the girl will be able to call a friend or girlfriend and spend a wonderful evening, the memories of which will remain for a long time.
In search of unforgettable impressions you shouldn’t go too far: if a girl is timid, timid, does not dream of conquering Everest and serving in a female airborne company, you shouldn’t give her certificates for parachuting, kayaking and so on. There are plenty of more relaxed and safer activities. It all depends on the area of interest of the hero of the occasion: For lovers of large companies and adventures, give a certificate for an event quest for 5-6 people, if a girl prefers handicraft to adrenaline rush, give her a ticket to a master class by a famous artist, sculptor, embroidery master or making soft toys.
Fashionistas will benefit from a ticket to a fashion show, a certificate for several lessons of professional visage.
Theme party
Make a holiday for your daughter outside the home. And he must be in style - the Little Mermaids (if this is her favorite cartoon character), the Chicago mafia, the Avengers of Marvel - she herself should decide on the style. Think over all the details - from the costumes of guests and leading to the design of tables and dishes. Be sure to complement the gift with a professional photo shoot - pictures from such a holiday will be sure to decorate the page of the birthday woman on social networks, as well as a long and pleasant memory.
Good bag or backpack
This is a very practical, necessary gift - a girl will be able to carry it with her to study, and also be able to walk with him. Choose youth models, designer items.
If you find it difficult to make a choice, ask a close friend of a daughter or goddaughter to help with this - the same age as they know well what is in fashion now.
Or simply donate a gift certificate to your daughter or granddaughter to the store of bags, backpacks and accessories - she herself will be able to choose what she will definitely like. Consider the possibility of a convenient and stylish wallet for a girl to carry a bag or backpack, because she already has the money in her possession, and carrying it in her pocket or purse is not very aesthetic and convenient.
Jewelery
With it, a girl can begin to form her personal jewelry collection, the same as that of her mother. So for the ring, bracelet or earrings, which you choose in the jewelry store of your daughter or sister, be sure to grab a small but neat exquisite casket - in it she will put her jewelry. Both this and the next ones, which the bridegroom, husband, children in the future will give her.
For 17-year-old girls, when choosing jewelery, it is very important to avoid massiveness, large stones, rough elements.
