Clothing Gift Card
Most teen girls are fashionistas. If you’re wary of picking clothes out yourself, take your special teen on a shopping spree, or buy her a gift card for her favorite store. The shopping experience itself will add to the value of the gift, and may also give you a chance to spend some time together.

Spa Day

Spa Day
A mani-pedi, facial, or other spa treatment can help your teen de-stress from the grind of everyday drama and homework in her high school life! Invite a couple of her closest friends or turn it into a mother-daughter celebration for her special Sweet 16.

sweet 16 gifts, handing off car keys as gift for 16 year old

Car
Last, but most definitely not least, is what many teens consider the be-all and end-all of sweet 16 presents: their own automobile. Of course, not everyone can afford such an expensive present (and the insurance that goes along with it), but not to worry. Another option is the gift of one-on-one driving lessons and driving privileges with your own car. It’s not as showy as a car solely for your teen, but will certainly be appreciated.
