She is getting a wii and some games from her other grandparents, has a phone and ipod and all the other typical teen gadgets. I'm at a loss for what to get her besides clothes

I like the mani/pedi idea...she's not super girly but always has her nails painted. She likes the really funky stuff on her nails, so thats a good idea. She's one of those girly tomboys This post has been edited by luvmykids on Dec 2 2007, 06:25 PM

Happy Spring! Group: Administrators Posts: 27,473 Member No.: 2 Joined: 8-February 03	I like the mani/pedi idea too. What about a camera and one of those all-in-one scrapbook kits ? My neice is 13, and she likes to make scrapbooks mostly of her friends. Or, what about a diary and some kind of keepsake chest? Then, when all else fails -- there's always the mall gift certificate. Sorry, I am no help. It's been way too long since I was 13. -------------------- Dee Dee , Mommy to: Ashley Marie 9/05/02 Joshua Lee 2/03/00 (Our Angel in Heaven)

Me too!

And boy have things changed since then

She does already have a digital camera and isn't into scrapbooking

She's hard, she has four sets of grandparents and two sets of parents...seems like everything I think of someone else is already getting her

I got my niece a gift card to Hollister. Kids that age are so picky and particular about their "stuff", if you really want to make them happy, let them pick it out themselves. Not much fun for the giver, but it is for the receiver. -------------------- Jeanne "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, What a Ride!"

I KNOW, her birthday was just this last weekend and I could totally tell which gifts she was less than thrilled about, which was a bit of a suprise since I've always been able to nail it....but that was before she turned 13
