Putting together a short memory book of your times together would be a wonderful keepsake to present to your friend on her sweet sixteen. If you are creatively inclined you can make this extremely innovative.

Quilted Greeting

This idea is only suitable for those who are inclined towards quilting and sewing. It is a major job to make a quilt but if you like doing it, then make a quilted greeting for your friend on her sweet sixteen. You can include some of her favorite colors, designs and characters.

Photo Calendar Greeting

Nowadays you can order a number of photo gifts online so why not present your friend with a photo calendar, one that she can use for the rest of the year. You can add photos of friends and other loved ones so that as each month passes, she has a personalized calendar to check the date.

Printed T-shirt Greeting

Another excellent idea is to get her a printed T-shirt greeting for her sweet sixteen. Instead of writing the usually mushy stuff, put together something clever and witty. She will love to wear it for years to come.

Sweet sixteen is an important event for a young woman and if you are close to your friend, you will want to do everything you can to make it special. Hopefully these ideas will get you going.
