Buying Gifts For Girlfriends In Their Teens

You are a young gentleman, either in your teens yourself or early twenties, and desperately seeking a gift for that special girl in your life. It's relatively easy to buy presents for other guys on occasions such as birthdays and Christmas, but what on earth would that stunningly beautiful girlfriend of yours find delightful and heart-warming? Fear not young men of the world for there are a few general pointers to keep in mind which will make gift buying for teenage girlfriends a whole lot easier.

Her Personality

First of all you need to conceptualise her personality. Is she a sporty girl who loves to jog and play basketball? Perhaps she's a geek who would go weak at the knees for anything related to computers or gadgetry. Then there are the intellectual teen girls who love to read books and debate politics and philosophy all evening long. Perhaps she might even be a hippy chick who likes to play guitar or spend weekends camping in the local forests whilst singing 1970s melodies.

Consider what type of person she is and this will go a long way to helping you form in your mind the ideal gift for your teen girlfriend. Don't forget, she might have a mixture of the above personality traits and there is a wide spectrum of presents to cater for all cross-overs of hobbies and styles.

Hints She's Given

Women of all ages expect men to pick up on the hints they give. They believe men can understand subtleties and get frustrated and cross when we guys look perplexed at their sudden outburst. Try to be more sensitive to what she likes and finds interesting as well as any hints she might be giving you in relation to something she wants. For example, when you were last talking about a movie, she might have repeatedly elaborated on how the soundtrack made her feel romantic and happy. Bingo! If she doesn't have the music in her collection already, you are on to a winning gift for your teenage girlfriend.

Her Aspirations

If you and your lady love have been together for more than a few weeks, you are bound to be familiar with her aspirations and dreams for the future. She would have delighted in telling you the possibilities and no doubt you'd have heard her chatting to friends and family about certain ideals. Contemplate what you remember and think of gifts that compliment these aspirations. By buying a present related to her goals in life, you will have shown her you are listening to what she says as well as caring for her well-being and happiness. She'll be blown over with your positive and loving attitude.

Does she want to travel around Europe during a gap year? Find a good book on travel destinations and historical snippets regarding the major European countries. Maybe she wants to help animals and become a conservationist? There are DVDs galore on these themes. Perhaps she is intending to become a fashion or interior designer and might already be enrolled on a course? Gift her some jewellery or decorative home accessories in colors and styles you know she is fond of.

How much caffeine is in black tea?

Ok, so I work with this hippie chick who says she knows a lot about herbal tea and stuff. I thought black tea might be decaf since it didn't say anything on the label, but she says it does. She's probably right, but if you know of some cool sounding scientific stuff that proves her wrong, I'll pick yours as best answer. Thx!

The first answerer is totally correct. Black tea is the tea with the most caffieine. If you want to sound smart, you can go ahead an tell her that herbal 'tea' technically isn't tea because it contains zero tea leaves in it. The Camellia sinensis plant is what produces tea leaves. They tea leaves are then fermented in order to make a certain type of tea. Black tea leaves are fermented the longest, so it naturally has more caffeine and is more potent. 2nd is green tea, 3rd is oolong, 4th is white tea. Herbal drinks don't have tea because these drinks don't have camellia sinesis leaves, they have fruit, herbs, and flowers instead. I hope that made sense, if not, wikipedia always does the trick:
