Gifts for young Girls..?

[Paula]

We have an 11 year old and 13 year old girl. They love craft kits -- such as making beaded bracelets, making cards, making candles, making soaps (probably safer than making candles and doesn't require as much parental supervision). there are craft kids that include shells as well. You can get these at Michaels or other craft stores. They also like things from Claires (jewelry and other bling-type things for young girls). I think clothes are tough because they have such clear ideas about what they want to wear by this age and some clothes people gave them never got worn. Hope this helps.

If you are looking for something special, a piece of "real" jewelry would be great. Maybe a necklace with their birthstone or a pair of earrings. If you are nearby and can stand it, a day out with you including lunch and a trip to a clothing store would be fun. I like the idea of "experiences" as gifts.

I was just at Pier 1 and they had great jewelry boxes in all sizes. Really cool colors, like turquoise velvet with beads, hot orange satin. Some were small enough to hold a couple of rings or some were bigger. The bigger ones ran about $15.
