Desperately seeking gift idea for 13-year-old niece


Posted: Dec 10, 2010

All she wants are gift cards and money, but I would like to have a small gift for her to actually open. Any ideas what a 13-year-old might like (or tolerate?)

to go along with cash or a gift card, how about some fingernail polish and some decals to go with it? My daughter loves that kind of stuff. Lip gloss, etc... anything girlie.

I have a 13-year-old - sm

As the poster above said, fingernail polish. Mine loves very bright sparkle colors.

I find the girls in this area are really into the wild socks. They love to mix and match them. Any of the stores like Journey's, Aeropostle, among others have them.

Mine likes gift cards and cash as well, so I wrap them!!

Thanks--back to the mall! - starstruck

Thanks for the suggestions for nail polish and socks. Her mom (my sister-in-law) isn't crazy about makeup, but nail polish seems pretty benign. I'll keep an eye out for some cute socks as well. Thanks for helping!

Ten-year Anniversary Gift Nov 11, 2009
In December, my significant other (BF sounds so young) and I will have been together 10 years.  We are both 51 and basically get anything we want when we want it.  He is not the type to wear jewelry except his college ring and a watch (which I got him 5 years ago) and he has anything and everything for his favorite college team.  I was thinking about doing a collage of pictures from the trips we have taken in our 10 years together in a nice picture frame, but not sure.  He is ...

Just Received A Great Gift That I Had No Idea Jan 04, 2014
I love to listen to audiobooks on MP3 players that I get from the library, but as I had pretty much gone through the selection at the library, I was going to buy a portable CD player to wear while I cook, do chores, etc. For my anniversary, my husband bought me a Sansa Clip Zip MP3 and I can download books through our library website and there are about 3000 titles, so I will have a lot of happy hours of listening. I had no idea that even existed! I'm so thrilled. If you like to listen ...

My Niece Was Arrested For DUI In KY Last MonthJun 10, 2010
My niece was arrested for DUI in KY last month and had her court date Monday. She was fined $800 and was supposedly told she could never step foot in KY again. Also supposedly the judge told her he was sending her arrest record to Ohio and Ohio would probably take away her driver's license.A) I don't see how someone can be prevented from driving through a state. B) I don't see how Ohio could take away her driver's license for an offense committed in Kentucky. ...

My normally well-behaved 4-year-old takes a martial arts class.  For months, the instructors have been allowing him to act like a monster. I have asked them time and time again to please not allow him to act up, only to be met with, "He's only 4.  You expect too much.  He is just being a little kid." I usually sit and watch to keep him manageable, at least.  The instructor's 15-year-old son also helps teach the class and he play fights with my son, allowing my son t ...
