5 Best gifts for a 14 year old girl

As my 5 Best gifts for a 13 year old girl was so popular, plus my daughter turned 14 earlier this year, I thought it would be good to post another list of gift ideas and suggestions.

Although some parents might prefer it if the priorities of 14 year old girls were doing their homework and chores, the reality is that their primary interests usually lie elsewhere. The main priorities of a 14 year old girl in my experience fall into three main categories. Firstly, maintaining an active social life through meeting up with friends in person, by telephone, and increasingly through the use of gadgets that enable connection to the internet. Secondly, they also need to look good with the best clothes, beauty and grooming products that they can get their hands one. Third and finally, 14 year old girls are also very enthusiastic about elements of popular culture, especially things like music, favorite TV shows, and online video (my 14 year old is currently also addicted to Tumblr, but that's another story!).

Some gagdets can combine several elements of the above, of course. A smart phone, for instance, can be used as a telephone or text friends, to connect to the internet, to play music and video, plus most of them also look very good!

Anyway, here is my top 5 list of ideas for the best gifts for a 14 year old girl.

The latest version of an Apple iPod touch is a pretty safe bet, if you're looking for something to make a 14 year old very happy, in my experience. They really are a fantastic gadget - as well as being able to play music and browse the internet, the 4th generation iPod touch can also be used to write instant messages and video call, record and edit video, play games, plus it also has a new "shake to shuffle" mode!

This sweatshirt is so cool! You can use any headphone compatible device with a Hoodie Buddie, whether it’s an MP3 player, iPod, or iPhone. There is a headphone jack in the front pocket that you can use to plug in your music player. The sound travels up through the built in headphones at the end of the drawstrings. The Hoodie Buddie is machine washable in cold water. Available in different colors.

This cool and compact high quality wi-fi radio music player can fill any room with a clear and rich sound of stereo music. The wi-fi technology means that you can play internet radio or your own music on this player. It is easy to set up, intuitive controls and has a color screen. There is also a function that lets you share your music choices on facebook.

Any 14 year old girl would be more than happy to receive one of these giant Gummy Bears, equivalent to 1,400 regular Gummy Bears and weighing in at 5lb! You can pick your favorite flavor too!

These cool and adorable Neff headphones manage to be both cute and trendy at the same time. Acrylic and machine washable, they also sound so great, you'll want to purr!
