Hi everyone,
We have three teenage girl neighbors (15, 13 and 12 probably) who are amazing with our two kids (3 and 1). Their birthdays are coming up soon and we want to get them something little to show our appreciation for how they are always so sweet to our kids...however, we have no clue what girls that age are into or like. Any ideas?
Cheers

Re: Teenage girl present ideas?
I usually get my niece (12) gift vouchers these days.
If you have a local westfield - just be careful getting westfield vouchers - cause here they are not accepted in the major stores (eg Myer, Kmart, Target, Woolworths). I usually stick to one of those coles./myer cards - can be used in Kmart, Target and Myer

My 12 (almost 13) y.o. daughter loves the Hollister and American Eagles stores....maybe a gift card or even jewelry from there is "cool"! What a thoughtful thing you are doing!

These girls are REALLY amazing with our kids. The oldest just recently went on a cruise in the states for 10 days and came home yesterday with a Disney cup for both of my kids. I was shocked that a 15 year old would even think of my one and three year old while away overseas on a special trip like that...let alone buy them a small gift that my kids won't let go of now! The 12 year old also went to the $2 shop at Christmas and bought my kids little Christmas presents with her own money. They are really great, thoughtful kids, so it's the least we can do!

Re: Teenage girl present ideas?
Gift cards/vouchers are a good idea. Maybe something to one of the teenage stores/cd stores. The mall voucher may be a good idea so that they can go to the store of their choosing in that mall.
If you want an experience, go to a Jimmy Buffett concert.
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
Life is short, live long!!
I'd rather be a wiseass than a dumbass.

Re: Teenage girl present ideas?
Depends on if they're 'girly' girls.....but my teenager can't get enough make-up, bath stuff, smell goods, candles, or music.....
So add Ulta, Sephora or iTunes to the possibilities for gift cards.....my girl loves nothing more than picking out new eyeshadows or lip glosses...she loves Victoria's Secret too......but that one could be waaaaaaaaaaay misconstrued...
They sound like great kids.....how wonderful your kids have this extended 'family'!

Re: Teenage girl present ideas?
No worries...I haven't been away from the states too long, so I still remember most of those stores and can sort out an equivalent. You guys are doing great with ideas...I really appreciate it! And yes, they are definitely special girls, and my kids are very lucky to have them in their lives!

Re: Teenage girl present ideas?
They would probably like the stores like "diva" - accessories and "Smiggle" - the new stationary stores - always full of kids when I go to the Westfield.

If they're readers, get them the "Twlight" series, if it's not already in their library. Every young girl I know loves them ...
Gift cards and music downloads are great, too.
