I have been invited to a neighbors quincenera celebration?

Question

I have never been to one before, what would be an appropriate gift to bring?

the celebration is for a 15 year old girl. Beer would be inappropriate and insulting.

Answer 1

I go to several of these a year, since I teach high school!

I always go with a gift card, usually to a "young" store like Abercrombie or Forever 21. Put it in a card and decorate the envelope with a little trinket of some sort - a pair of earrings, a fun keychain. Just a note: I'd leave the religious gifts to members of the family (especially the godparents).

Answer 2

The same sort of gift you would give someone at a sweet sixeen party.

I would suggest a good book on how to get in to college, or other wholesome, beneficial topic that is meaningful to you and represents that you care about the girl's future.

Answer 3

A Quinceanera is a celebration of a young woman's 15th birthday in many Hispanic cultures. Traditional gifts include bibles, cake decorations, jewelry, photo albums, dolls, cake servers, and toasting glasses.

Answer 4

You can never go wrong with cash or gift cards. Find out what her favorite clothing store is...and get her a gift card. She will appreciate the fact that you didnt try to shop for her!!

Answer 5

When i have gone to Quinceñeras i always buy some type of jewelery nothing expensive of course but that looks nice. Since supposedly it's a party for some kind of becoming a woman type of thing you could always get her whatever you feel right she would need but nothing too childish!

Answer 6

hmmm...you said quincenera, so I'm guessing they're latino...my suggestion would be beer...and lots of it. If not that, try tequila; Jose Cuervo by preference.
