    Tell me what you know about this girl. What's she into? I'll see what I can come up with. I have 13, 11 and 10 year old girls. :)

    I have 11 & 10 yo girls. I know you don't want to hear this but::: they are into: money, LOL

    Seriously: earrings, clothing, hair accessories, bling stuff (neat writing accessories, cool belts, nail polish - the more unusual the better). Also, money (and I tunes cards).

    If they have an ipod or ipad - I can't go wrong with buying an accessory for it...

    My go-to for my daughters' girly-type friends is nail polish. A few different colors and throw in a fun nail file or other things like that.

    For the tomboys, movie passes or board games are fun. In my family, we have a tradition of giving eachother puzzles. Not boring jigsaw puzzles though.

    Purses are fun too! If she doesn't seem like a brand-conscious girl, ask your friend about her favorite colors. I got my step-daughter a purse when she turned 8. I didn't have much guidance, so I got her a "fancy" purse. You know, the kind that goes well with a little black dress. :)

    Or a make up case. Remember Caboodles? :) You can still find them at Walmart. If she's not into makeup, she can use it to organize craft supplies or fishing tackle or something.

    you could take her shopping, get your hair and nails done & go out for lunch/dinner somewhere nice :-)
