Seek Advice for 13 Yr Old's B-day Gift

I have a 12 year old son. For the last couple of years his favorite gifts have been based on activities and time together. Examples are concert tickets, a trip on a sail boat arranged through Monterey Bay Aquarium, spending the day at the museum without his little sisters, a trip to the movies, etc. Some of these might be over your budget, but maybe you could give a joint gift and have someone share the cost with you. You could schedule a "girl's" day with her and take her out to lunch someplace nice.

I know my daughters loved getting lip gloss or nail polish at this age~~~ and if it is specially chosen for her, all the better ;)

A piece of jewelery, such as a birthstone necklace

Hello,
Maybe try going to Bath and Body Works, The Body Shop or Victoria's Secret or somethng like that. She may like some body spray and lotion. Maybe even try a cute pair of earings and a necklace, or an outfit.You can also try taking her to get a manicure and a pedicure, if she's into that kind of stuff. Girls are so hard to buy for! Good Luck :)

I'm afraid I don't have a lot of insight on what would be "in" for 13YO's but does she have some specific interest (art, science, music, etc.) that you could get her a magazine subscription for?
