No matter what your budget is, we are sure you’ll find the perfect gift for the young lady and her quinceañera celebration.
What are Quinceanera Celebrations?
A quinceanera is a cultural celebration of a girl to honor her as she reaches the age where she is considered a woman. It has historical significance, and is frequently seen in Latin culture, but is also seen in places outside of Latin America.
Before the special event, there is a church celebration where the guest of honor and her family members attend a Catholic mass. After the religious ceremony, the social portion of the momentous occasion begins. This is a type of fiesta, or party, with dinner, dancing, music, and gifts.
The special day is much more than just a girl’s 15th birthday – it is a coming of age passage and celebration with formal attire and to-do that resembles a wedding more than a birthday party.
What are Traditional Quinceañera Gifts?
Based on some of the traditional ceremony gifts, there are a few common gifts that you may see (if the family chooses to stick to tradition)
- a crown or tiara to show that she is a princess before God
- religious-themed gifts such as a Bible, rosary, and a cross
- a scepter to symbolize her ability to be responsible and make decisions
- a quinceañera doll wearing a dress similar to her own dress
- her first pair of high heel shoes
- her first real jewelry
- a makeup set (as she is now of age to wear makeup)
- monetary gifts are frequently given
As time has passed, the quinceanera traditions have changed. Some families opt for smaller celebrations these days, and choose to spend their money on more modern gifts such as a car or vacation rather than an extravagant party.
If you are not a close family member, it’s always a good idea to check with the parents or someone who has a close relationship with the birthday girl to find out if they are planning a traditional quince or not so that you can choose an appropriate gift.
