My soon-to-be 11 year old likes GCs for mani/pedi, clothes (from Aeorpostale, Old Navy, Gap, Abercrombie, Hollister, etc), purses, jewelry, CDs, DVDs, mp3 download cards, shoes, books, magazine subscriptions...she doesn't have (but wants) sketchpads, journal, a cell phone, Wii, video camera...she also has a digital camera that she loves!
