16 year old girls like to look good. They may appreciate a paid trip to a hair salon to have the hair styled. Or what about some hair accessories. Flat or curling irons, or a new hairdryer. A special expensive nice shampoo or conditioner treatment may also be appreciated. Check out some ideas below.

Most teenagers enjoy listening to music and an ipod nano or touch will almost always be very gratefully received. The ipod nano is great for just listening to music whereas the ipod touch will allow you to listen to music, play games, access the Internet, send e-mail, watch video and lots more.

An alternative choice of mp3 player for the 16 year old girl that likes to listen to music is the Sansa clip. This mp3 player holds up to 2000 songs, is small enough to clip onto your shirt or fit in your pocket and has a very good battery life. Its a lot cheaper than an ipod nano too.

If they already have an ipod what about a nice ipod dock with speakers for their room. You can also get them some music that they like and if your not sure what they like a gift voucher is always a good choice.

The Klipsch igroove (featured opposite) is a perfect choice of speaker for a 16 year old girls bedroom. The design is stylish, sleek and slim. It is compatible with most ipods and has very good sound (in techno speak - the bi-amplified design and re-tuned bass ports virtually eliminate distortion). The speakers will charge the ipod while it is playing music.

16 year olds will probably appreciate a digital photo frame with her favorite pictures of family and friends on to have in her room.

A digital camera or a flip video camera are also good gift ideas for 16 year old girls so she can record good times with friends and family when she's out and about. The Flip digital camera would make a cool gift for anybody. Its small enough that you can easily take it anywhere on day trips, vacations, friend's houses and parties. Also great for school or college projects. Take some nice video you want to keep for later and easily upload it to your computer or laptop.

16 year old girls will most likely spend a lot of time in her bedroom so nice accessories so she can make her space her own make good gifts. Think cushions, clocks, pictures, lamps and posters.

I love the sonic boom pink alarm featured below. It can't fail to wake sleeping 16 year olds with its extra loud alarm, pulsating flashing alert lights and a powerful 12-volt bed shaker.

Or what about some cosy pajamas. These are good for girls this age as they quite often stay over at friend's houses etc.

Its quite often difficult to buy clothes for girls as its not certain they'll like what you buy but clothing accessories make a good alternative. Socks, scarves, sunglasses etc.

Perfume is another good gift idea or what about a nice piece of jewelry. If you're unsure of what jewelry to get a 16 year old girl look to see what she already wears to get an idea of her style.A simple pendant such as the one below is often a good choice.

If you're looking to spend a bit of money, there are some great electronic gifts that many 16 year old girls would love. Here are some ideas:

• Ipad - the top of many people's wish list
• Notebooks, laptop, computer
• Amazon Kindle
• Cell phone - smart phones are good. The iphone is probably a top choice
• Digital camera - the panasonic lumix featured below is a good camera with good reviews.

16 year olds are in college or school so may appreciate a new backpack for the college stuff. Or if they quite often stay over at friend's houses what about an overnight bag? Or a casual bag for the weekend is often a nice choice.

Roxy is a stylish brand of bag maker which is quite popular. I love the Carolina Orchard hobo opposite, great for shopping or daily casual use. The Roxy Sleepover bag is cool for an overnight bag for staying at a friends house.

If the 16 year old girl you know likes to read there are lots of fantastic books for this age group. Many girls of this age do like teen romances but there are others who love science fiction or factual books like autobiographies too. Check their book collection to see what they like and here are some top ideas:

• Books by Sarah Dessen - Sarah is great at writing romances books aimed at girls this age.
• The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
• Uglies by Scott Westerfield
