What is a 20 Year Old Girl Looking For?

Oh! The sweet teen just ended, and your girl enters her twenties! A delicate, but bold, chirpy little girl who is about to begin her twenties is as precious as a diamond. And when we say a girl, could be anyone; your sister, a very close friend or your college sweetheart. i.e your girlfriend. She is heading towards her journey of becoming a woman, a lady with dreams in her heart and ideas in her mind. She looks for a perfect companion who can hold her hand, guide her at every step and flow with her in this journey where she is going to cherish each moment and wants you to be a part of it in your own way.

If you are her dear friend, she will look for that trust in you, for that support that tells her come what may, I will always back you up! If she is your sister, she will look for those eyes that tell her that I am your family and I am beside you in every step that you take, ready to guide you, to tell you what is right and what is wrong. And if she is your girlfriend, your soul mate, she will look for that love, that strength that comes from within, the strength that originates from your bond and that lovely romantic feeling each time she thinks of you.

Finding the Perfect Gift for Her

It might certainly need a lot of thinking for you to finally arrive at a gift that is perfect for her; she might have different ideas about things and what you might consider a good gift might not really rank high on her list. Also, this is a time when she is exploring herself and might be confused about things so you need to consider all of this while buying her a little something as a present. To make your job easier (and, to save your time), we have tried to find the top 3 things that a girl of her age would like in her gift. Stick to this and you will find a perfect gift for her in no time, literally!

#1 What Speaks to Her

In this young age and at the turn of the decade, she is looking for things that are essentially ‘her’. She is forming an identity of her own and exploring herself. She would love something that ‘speaks’ to her which means get her something which is in-line with her own ideas, thoughts and beliefs. You could find several such things and it would be easier if you already know bits about her. This is also one of the best ways of showing that you care about what she thinks and believes in.

#2 What Makes Her Heart Skip a Beat

Get her something that she will fall in love with instantly. It could be anything and everything; you might need to know a bit about her, like, what she likes and dislikes. However, once you do know something about her, it won’t be a difficult task to find the perfect gift for her while she would fall for.

#3 What is Useful to Her

She is at an age where she will be needing things and resources. So go for stuff that is useful to her in some way or the other. Don’t buy her showpiece or something she cannot even utilise properly. Think of type of activities she will be involved in and get her a gift accordingly. For example, if she is joining a college soon then find something that will be helpful in her college life. Or if she is starting an internship (or a job) at some place then buy her something accordingly. This will also make sure that whenever she uses the gift, she will be reminded of you!

Give her small treats for daily use

At 20 years a girl is most likely in college and on a fixed monthly allowance. She may have a job and small income on the side but there are only so many things she can afford. Give her gifts that pamper her in small ways on a daily basis or help her lead a more comfortable life. Remember she is juggling studies, hobbies, perhaps a job and an active social life - she is a busy girl with a lot on her plate; things that help her manage her time and her day, or just give her something to look forward to will be much appreciated.
