Help!?
What on earth do you get a 12 year old girl you don't know well for a birthday present? She isn't close to my son and he's totally clueless as to her likes and interests.
Edit: Thanks so much everyone, I went from having no idea what a girl gets for a birthday to debating options with my son. I was set to get her the beads, even had them in my hand and he was certain that she wouldn't like them - instead she'd like a basketball. Which is what we ended up getting. I'm saving this thread though, there are more 12 year old parties on the horizon. I need to investigate Typo. It sounds like it fills the hole left from growing out of Smiggle.
gift card
Yeah, it's not plan A. I hate them because they show zero thought or effort. Still, I'd fall back here rather than getting something I don't think she'd like.
Nah the girl will love being and to go out and spend it. It's not really thoughtless, better than a gift the girl won't even like. She'll get excited about going out to buy something she actually does.
