msdarkness Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 my niece is 10 almost 11 and I am getting her a monogrammed silver bangle type bracelet she also has everything from a lap top to a mp3 she is also really really girly so Im hoping she will like it.

shopping mom Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 If she has an MP3 she would probably like an itunes card. There are some magazines that she might enjoy too. I like the idea of a pretty silver chain too. Kohls had some pretty one on sale last week and I am sure they will again. The also make some cute pillow speakeers that work with the MP3. Most girls like to shop so she may enjoy a gift card for a favorite store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ms_mckenna Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 What age is she? Also what are you looking at spending? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer0530 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 If she has an MP3 she would probably like an itunes card.Don't get an itunes card unless she has an Ipod. If she has a different mp3 player there is always Napster cards. I would like to know her age also. My preteen niece is hard core into High School Musical so find out if she likes that sort of stuff. Hannah Montana is really big right now too, shoot I'm 27 and I love her! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mariaandjay Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 My daughter is 11. She just turned 11. She is into the High School musical things also. But she received all of that for her birthday. I was thinking of a laptop. Wonder if Best buy will have them this year on sale?? I have not decieded on a spending amount yet so all ideas are needed....... Maria Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogiporkchop Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 How about a gift card to an area day spa or salon? What girl wouldn't enjoy getting a manicure/pedicure or facial or even learning how to put on make-up the correct way? You could even pair that with a gift card to her favorite store so she can get a new outfit. Or you could just give her cold hard cash... make up a tray or two of ice cubes with money inside of them and put the cubes in a mini cooler, oversized mug or something similar. Nobody can complain about getting cash :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmmiller Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 make-up (if you allow her) perfumes/bath and body works Jewelry (ring, bracelet or locket) Gift cards (but at that age, they usually like to open stuff) Laptop (thinking of getting this for my DS12, if the $ is right) Pink DS and a few games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolannec Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I have a 10 year old niece who is really into girly things. Last year I gave her a purse with some jewelry, a gift card to The Limited Too, and some lotions and sprays from Bath and Body Works. She really loved it and still carries that purse around and wears the jewelry. I have no idea what I will do this year for her though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ms_mckenna Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Oh ok I was not aware we were discussing your child lol. I am a huge James Avery person so is DD so I will recommend silver jewelery from them. They have some really pretty things. www.jamesavery.com We got DD a charm bracelet and have been buying her charms to go on it at major occasions. We are looking at a laptop this year for DD 14.

pastasalad Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Last Christmas I got my dd(at the time she has just turned 13) a ring watch-my other dd who is 9 wanted it, unfortunately I only bought one-thats all i have heard from my youngest dd is I want a ring watch....my dd got lots of compliments on hers and no one else had one so for her that made it extra special. Perfumes were a huge hit around here as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgmckny Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 If you are looking for some inexpensive silver pieces, check out silverjewelryclub.com. My niece has enough earrings and pendants to last a lifetime and they aren't big pieces, nice for that preteen age (although Suzanne is 15 now and still looks for me to send a few pieces). You pay 5.99 for shipping and 4.00 if you want a silver chain for the pendants. I bought 2 apple pendants last week for my ds10's teachers. (with chains, 10.00 each). The only thing is, if you see something you want you need to jump on it, They rotate every 15 min or it sells out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jax81772 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I have a 14yo and she loves getting magazine subscriptions.... 17, Marie Claire, People....Also, if she has an mp3 player... walmart.com has some of the cheapest downloads.... and movies, movies, movies,.... Shrek 3, and Pirates 3 are coming out before Christmas.... If you live close give her a gift of your time... such as a trip to lunch and a movie.... most of the time... yes they want $$$ and gifts.... but they will always value the time you took out of your life to give to them doing something cool they liked....

guilliam Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 what about 13 yr old boys...my brothers new stepson. He is into games, but I dont have the $ to get him a newer computer to run them on. Any ideas under the $100 price tag? he is not into music.How about one of the plug n play games? They have some pretty decent games that you just plug into your tv and play at Walmart. My nephew loves them cause he can take it to his room and play easily (not like having to unplug hi gamecube, and carry the whole thing, games, controllers, up to his room.) And he can take to granparents easily too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carone0318 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 My dd just turned 11 in Sept and here is some of the stuff that I am getting her Christmas this yr: Eddie Bauer sleeping bag - she has definitely outgrown her princess sleeping bag Crocs - Mammouth cotton candy color sweater from Limited Too Aeropostale sweatshirt - this store is big with the tweens. Most are getting to be big enough to wear stuff from here, My dd only fits into their S sweatshirt. Fleece pants from Old Navy Legally Blonde 1 & 2 Movie - bought together at Target She wants some game called Whoonu - it's a Cranium game and I found it at Target, just need to go buy. Another thing to consider if she has pierced ears. I bought diamond earrings for her from Kohls on BF. They were the tiny little chips and they were like $29.99. They would look ridiculously small on an adult, but they are proportioned just right for a tween girl. she loves them! I have some other stuff to get, but it is all gymnastics stuff, she is a competitive gymnast, so I am getting her an extra pair of grips and some achievement pins - yadda, yadda, yadda. Hope this helps some.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmciufo Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 In the past I would give magazine subscriptions to all the nieces/nephews (eleven) but now that they are all preteen and older I am giving them movie tickets. Packaging them in a popcorn bag with some micro popcorn and large concession stand-like candy. Maybe include a little something else depending on what I can find.

AndreaInNC Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 If she's into HS Musical, that means she watches the Disney Channel and these guys are all over it - I'd suggest the new Jonas Brothers CD/DVD that comes out last week. My DD13 has been waiting on this for months. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8529602&st=jonas+brothers&lp=2&type=product&cp=1&id=1648059 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scanner420 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 What about a portable DVD Player. (7-9" screen) My neice got one last year and loves the fact that she can go to her room to watch her fav. movies in her room in peace w/o her younger brother changing the channel on her. The're about $50.00-$70.00 this time of year. GC's to the mall/shopping center work too. Let's them choose the stores they actually like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
