Question Enable me (PLEASE!) - Gift for 13 yr old neice

i'm racking my brain trying to figure out a fun gift for my 13 year old neice.

last year i got her a pair of jeans and tank top from old navy and then embroidered them w/ swirls, a birdie, and flowers (all doodly).

i'd like to order something online so i can have it direct shipped up to her.

any suggestions? or etsy finds?

tia

iTunes gift card, Aeropostale shirts, earrings (if her ears are pierced). 13 year olds are hard to please.

I thought this was cute too: http://www.pbteen.com/products/flora...-day-gift-sale

My niece is 12-1/2 and is asking for an IKEA Gift Card because she wants to redecorate her room. I don't buy her clothes anymore! It is a tough age.

One other suggestion is a beanbag chair. My kids loved them at that age. We had two but got rid of them when the room started getting to crowded.

I gave my 14 year old niece a small Coach purse from the outlet store. It was her birthday and Christmas gift, but I got it super cheap ($40). Maybe a nice bag?

well actually my 13 year old would love that lol! This is her favorite store right now that is pretty inexpensive: Papaya

disclaimer - some clothes there are a little too "old" for a 13 year old....

My 14yo ds has really gotten into the "39 Clues" book series! We have bought the 1st book for my niece since my son doesn't want to relinquish the book yet (as it has lots of clues in it!) ... you can win prizes with it ... play online games with the *YES it is a BOOK* book series ... and you have "cards" with extra clues inside each book. It's based on a brother and sister so it appeals to all. This is the FIRST ever series my son has latched on to...he has read 3 books within a few months and is ready to start his 4th! There are 6 books out and I think there will eventually be 10 ... and there are extra "clue cards" you can buy to go with the books. ds thinks it is really cool.

Borders.com has free shipping with a $25 order I believe ... so you could get her the first couple of books or the 1st book and an extra set of clue cards.

Just a thought of something 'different' ... my son really likes that these kids are on a hunt to lots of places and finding the clues ... and always there is something happening in the books where he doesn't want to put it down ... lol

UGGS and a NORTHFACE Jacket! ..... um and did i mention that i have to buy for 6 nieces and nephews on top of my own 3 kids?!?! ahahhahah

i ended up getting her this:



and i think i'll pick up those sisterhood books too and send them up to her.
