- This romantic homemade present is perfect for a teenage girl and very affordable. You'll need an empty shoebox with a sturdy top. Color doesn't matter; you're going to be covering the surface with a collage. To make your collage, gather several pictures of the two of you. If you do not have a lot of pictures, supplement by cutting out pictures and words from magazines. Try to find symbols that describe her, your relationship, and the holidays. Then, glue the pictures and magazine cutouts on the surface and top of the shoebox. "Mod Podge" is a great glue specifically for art projects and can be found at any crafts store. When you're through, write a special message in a Christmas card, put it inside an envelope, and place it in the box. Instead of her name on the front of the card, write "For all your memories. . .Christmas 2009." The teenage girl will truly cherish this thoughtful and romantic present.
- If you're on a small budget but still would like to purchase something for your girl, a large and soft stuffed animal is a romantic gesture. Teddy Bears are still extremely popular, but try finding the plush version of her favorite animal. This makes the gift even more romantic because she'll know that you took the time to find something designed especially for her. To add a touch more romance to your snuggly surprise, buy a rose from a local flower shop. Many stuffed animals (especially around the holidays) are equipped with "clasp-able" hands to hold additional presents. She'll be thinking of you as she snuggles with her new stuffed friend all night long.
- If you've got some room in your budget, or you've been in the relationship for awhile, a necklace can be a beautiful and romantic gift for a teenage girl. Many girls start collecting jewelry from a young age, so pay attention to the kind she wears before making your purchase. Tiffany and Company is a classic jewelry store that has necklaces and pendants ranging in price from about $85 to well over a million dollars. If you're not sure what she'd like, check out their website at http://www.tiffany.com. The site is very comprehensive and shows detailed pictures and prices for many of their necklaces. Taking the time to purchase and wrap a beautiful necklace will make for a very romantic Christmas gift that she'll keep for a long time.
