Thirteen is the first truly teenage year. Their taste changes almost monthly, and what thrilled them last year can feel babyish now. The good news: they can finally tell you themselves.

Gift ideas for a 13-year-old

Their room, their friends, staying on the move — what's on their mind at this age.

Their room and their friends

The room is their territory now, and friends are the main audience. What touches both lands best.

On the move, in style

They still move a lot, but now it matters how they look doing it.

What makes 13 different

Choosing gets harder now — and easier at the same time.

  • Taste changes fast

    What they loved at 12 can feel 'for kids' at 13. Guessing is hardest right now: friends' opinions weigh more than the family's. So it's better to let them tell you.

  • The room is their territory

    At this age many want their room to feel like theirs: lights, music, photos on the wall. Things for the room rarely end up in a drawer — they see them every evening.

  • Their first own list

    From 13 they can have their own Wishler account. It's the first time they write down what they want themselves — and you can stop quizzing the parents and guessing.

How Wishler helps here

From 13 the list is theirs: they fill it in and send the link.

  1. They make the list

    From 13 they can open their own account. They add links from any shop, note the size and colour, and mark up to three wishes 'Really want it' — relatives see those first.

  2. They send the family one link

    One link in the family chat, or straight to grandma. It opens in any browser; relatives install nothing. If they change their mind, they edit the list and the link stays the same.

  3. The camera, together

    For the pricey wish several relatives chip in: everyone sees what's collected and what's left, the money goes straight to them, and Wishler holds none of it. Relatives reserve the rest — and who took what, they'll never know.

Questions people ask

What to get a 13-year-old girl?

Things for her room or for time with friends often land well: lights, an instant camera, a speaker. But taste at 13 is very personal — the most accurate answer is on her own list.

What to get a 13-year-old boy?

Inline skates, a table tennis set, a speaker or a good backpack — something he'll use every day. If you don't know the model or size, ask for the link to his Wishler list, where it's all written down.

Can a 13-year-old make their own Wishler list?

Yes — Wishler's terms allow your own account from 13. The list is free, and they send the link to family and friends themselves. Before 13, parents could keep a child's list from their own account.

Thirteen: their first own list

Suggest they make a list and send you the link — the family can sort out the rest together, and they get exactly what they wanted.
