Shortness Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Maybe a printer that can be used without a pc so she can print her own pictures from her camera or card. Extra sd cards for digital camera. GC to stores she likes or movie GC. Cash is always a good thing for preteensThose are great ideas--both my girls enjoy taking and printing out pics--we share our portable printer, but they wouldn't mind having their own. The gift cards/cash would be appreciated by my oldest. My youngest would like them too, but not as much as my oldest. My 7th grader is into:Old Navy, Aeropostale, and she even likes Ross--as she has figured out she can get more for her $.Mine's also interested in magazines for her age range.She loves iTunes cards--and she has a Zune (we use it also for our mp3 players)--very easy to convert with typical computer software--kids can do it. My dd11:She asked for a Ds Lite and the "Drawn to Life" game--she also likes all the Mario Bros. gamesShe's into art, so likes sketch pads, things to sketch with. Actually both girls are into that.She still likes crafts--Wal Mart and Michaels have some neat kits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
princez916 Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 My dd12 loves HS Musical, Hannah Montana, and the rest of the disney tween shows. She wants the HSM2 dvd for xmas. She likes the Sims games, whether for a game system, computer or internet. Aeropostale is probably her favorite for clothes, used to be Limited Too, but they don't fit her right anymore (I guess they aren't quite made for girls who are starting to get their curves ). The magazine she likes the most is U14, because it has lots of pictures of the people she likes (HSM cast, Jonas Bros., Hannah/Miley, etc.). She already has a DS, but I saw they came out with a new pink DSlite that comes with Nintendogs and has two little paw prints on the cover, looks very cute. (price was $130, might be better on BF). If dd didn't already have ds and nintendogs, I would get it for her. They also have one for boys that comes with Zelda and is a gold color to match.

laffnatu Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 My daughter is a senior and she just wants cold hard cash. LOL It's the easy way out, but it's what she wants and she's just too hard to buy for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abentley Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 My dd got a laptop 2 years ago for her senior year. My ds, who is a senior this year is getting clothes, an Ipod touch. It is so hard to buy for older kids!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2monkiesx3 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Yeah like 16yr olds aren't hard enough to buy for! My step neice is 16 and not really "GOTH" but definatly on the verge. She wears all black mostly boys clothing and her parents recently let her get her lip pierced Of course we draw names for our large extended family and I got hers She was supposed to get me a list of her wants and needs but I have yet to recieve it. I HATE to do just a giftcard (the limit is $30 per gift) but seems that might be my only choice! So would you TRY to get a gift or just do the giftcard? I am VERY VERY girly and so is my DD. My stepneice is so pretty too, I wish she'd girly up a bit but her mom is not either AT ALL.. Any ideas or anyone with teenagers...luckily I am not there yet my babies are still 9,6,4! She already has an MP3 player because that was my first thought.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreaInNC Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Something with Jack Skellington from Nightmare Before Christmas or Hot Topic gift card. My DD16 is a goth wanna be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2monkiesx3 Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Thanks, yeah Hot Topic was definatly my giftcard of choice for her if DD(6) doesn't scream when I go in the store, lol, she's afraid of that place for some reason! Ahh even I like Jack!! I think I'll ask her mom what cellphone she has and get a "Goth" looking custom cover maybe too?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcster Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 http://aspoke.com/skins/laptop_skin_skulls_black_A.jpghttp://aspoke.com/skins/laptop_skin_depth_A.jpgMore: http://www.schtickers.com/catalog/images/graffitti_laptop_skins.pnghttp://www.schtickers.com/catalog/images/LSMarc_The_Mandrill.jpg How about a "Skin" for something: http://www.schtickers.comhttp://www.decalgirl.com/browse.cfm/2,224.htmhttp://aspoke.com Etc., etc. -- just do a Google search for "laptop skin" or "psp skin" or whatever you think she needs a skin for. Prices are around $20 - $25 each. Skins for iPods and PSPs are cheaper because the stickers are smaller. I bet no one else will get her one. http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/Happy/Big-Thumbs-Up.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndreaInNC Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 Sign up for Hot Topic email promos. They emailed me not too long ago and was able to score an extra 50% off clearance. Picked up some $60 Tripp chain pants for like $12. They normally do it again around the holidays, that's when I go and get some stocking stuffers. Slipknot tshirt and CD maybe? You could get her something from Hot Topic and ask for a gift receipt maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xfeg Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 there was a deal on there the other day that had cheap jewelry for piercings. you could get her a lip ring with a cute ball. hot topic also has some cheap mixed cds so you could get her one in the genre of her choice. hot topic also usually has their clearance stuff online so you could get her some clothes in her size very cheap. you could get all of those things together for under $30. When i was into my goth thing thats where i got all my stuff. also black nail polish. maybe some eyeliner. you can get a girly goth gift :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leefamily23 Posted November 30, 2007 Share Posted November 30, 2007 I know my 15 yr old son- is all "skater" style clothing, skateboard and accessories, and video games. He did also ask for a camcorder. But everything falls into these categories. So, I figure I can make shopping easy- Zumiez, Pac Sun, and Gamestop and he'd be a happy camper.
