13th Birthday Gift Ideas

Birthday gift ideas for young children haven't changed much in the past decade or two, but 13th birthday gift ideas are like a different world. However, one thing that holds true with each generation is how fast teenagers are to embrace new technologies and trends. That's why our list of 13th birthday gift ideas contains both the cutting-edge and classics.

Cell phones/cell phone accessories

We hope you already have a family calling plan, because 13-year-olds certainly can rack up the cell phone minutes. Cell phones and cell phone accessories are the new favorite 13th birthday gift ideas. If your teen already has a cell phone, consider headsets, faceplates, carrying cases, and cell phone covers as a few 13th birthday gifts (that or their own checking account).

Mp3 players

Portable music players are a good indicator of a teen's hip-quotient these days. The 13th birthday gift of an iPod or Zune mp3 player would make your teen very happy. Plus once they get the headphones on, you'll find the house to be surprisingly peaceful.

Video games

Video games for the latest systems such as Nintendo Wii and PlayStation 3 make excellent 13th birthday gifts. Keep an eye on our site for the latest releases and hot new titles.

DVDs

Every teen loves a good comedy or horror movie, and DVDs are a reliable choice as 13th birthday gifts. Browse our selection for classic hits and new releases.

Clothing/accessories

Teens are also interested in the latest styles, and our clothing and accessories section is full of great 13th birthday gift ideas. We've got trendy urban styles and a wide selection of shoes, handbags, and other accessories.

Jewelry

Once the province solely of teen girls, jewelry has become more of a unisex 13th birthday gift idea in recent years. Rings, necklaces, and earrings (assuming you've already had the piercing discussion) are all perennial favorites.

Pictures/posters

Room decor is something that most 13-year-olds begin taking seriously. Art pictures or posters of movies or actors make unique 13 birthday gift ideas.

Digital camera/picture frames

Many teenagers these days have a cell phone camera, but the gift of a digital camera and picture frames might encourage them to develop an interest in photography as an art form.
