Author: Allister Steyn

With your daughter’s sweet sixteen fast approaching, you are probably already looking for 16th birthday gifts as early as now. After all, this is not a gift you want to buy on the eleventh hour. Turning 16 is a huge milestone—a coming of age event that is often marked by a big birthday bash and a special present. It’s only right that you give your precious daughter a personalised gift that she can treasure for the rest of her life. Finding that perfect present is easy if you know where and how to look. From personalised photo frame gifts to engraved jewellery and other worthy keepsakes, there is a whole range of meaningful 16th birthday gifts online.

A personalised compact mirror is a good choice for a sweet sixteen gift. Personalised gift shops online offer custom options where you can have the outside casing of the compact mirror engraved with a special message to mark your daughter’s coming of age. Your message can be anything from a meaningful quote to a favourite verse or a simple monogram of her initials. Personalised 16th birthday gifts hold far greater meaning and sentimental value than most any store-bought gift you will find.

Finding out what your daughter is interested in at the moment is also a good step towards finding the perfect personalised gift for her. Does she like little trinkets? Then engraved jewellery might be a great option for your 16-year old. From lockets and pendants to wristwatches and bracelets, dainty custom-engraved pieces of jewellery will surely be appreciated by your daughter. Sixteen is in fact a great time to give your child something that she can treasure for the rest of her life—and a personally engraved trinket is the perfect gift if you want a token that will last a lifetime. A personalised jewellery box to go with her engraved necklace, locket, or bracelet is also a great complimentary gift if you want to give her something where she can keep your gift safe for years and years to come.

If she’s into journaling or pen collecting, a personalised engraved pen is also a great gift to consider—and one that she will absolutely love. Engraved pens are elegant gifts that also have a great practical use, especially when your daughter is into writing or keeping journals. Other great 16th birthday gift ideas you can explore include personalised bags, engraved mugs, personalised photo frame gifts, engraved pocket watches, and other interesting tokens and trinkets that you can personalise with a message to make their 16th birthday more memorable.
