If you are panicking because you have to choose a gift for a second-grader for an upcoming holiday or celebration, relax and think of her interests. Second-graders enjoy a variety of activities and interests. Choose a gift and then personalize it based on those interests. It could be an activity she enjoys or a favorite musical performer or athlete that she is following. When all else fails, think of a gift that will help her forget she's in the second grade and help her feel older instead. - Let the second-grader in your life show off some flash by purchasing her jewelry she can show off to her friends. Jewelry for a second grader can include a necklace with decorations showing off some of her favorite hobbies such as sports, animals or crafts. Earrings are another option, with clip-on earrings as a gift if she doesn't have her ears pierced. Purchase her earrings with her birthstone featured on them, or a small charm that displays her interests.
- Purchase her a variety of clothing. You can purchase T-shirts with logos or designs that feature her favorite musicians, television shows or personal interests such as sports. Give her the opportunity to dress up and go out for a night on the town with her parents and friends. She'll love the ability to wear the same types of clothes that her idols wear, ranging from actresses to her mom.
- Purchase her a musical device such as a MP3 player that she can take with her wherever she goes. This will allow her to listen to her favorite music while in her room, walking around the neighborhood, or even on the school bus. She can also use an MP3 player on long car rides so she doesn't have to listen to the music that the driver chooses, which may not be to her taste.
- Purchase her a limited amount of make-up to wear when around the house. Instead of giving her just the makeup, you can also teach her how to wear it. Give her a gift certificate to a spa or cosmetologist so she can learn how much to wear and how to apply her make-up so it appears natural and highlights her features.
- Get her tickets to a movie that she has been wanting to see. Purchase a few tickets for her so she can bring a friend or two with her. She may be too young to attend a movie alone, but by bringing a few friends and a chaperone, she can enjoy an afternoon out with her friends.
- Give your second-grader the chance to feel like she is grown up by purchasing her a gift certificate for her favorite fast food restaurant. The next time she goes to eat there, she will be able to pay for her own meal with her gift certificate. She might even use it to buy you some food too.
- If you are looking for a special gift for her for a big event such as Christmas, a Netbook computer will be a big surprise for her. She can use her Netbook to do tasks such as keeping her own personal journal using word processing software on the computer, or sending email to keep in touch with her friends outside of school.
