Usually my 12 year old niece is the easiest person to shop for...we have similar tastes....but I'm really struggling this year. I've asked for suggestions, but she told my sister (her mom), "Auntie PinkElephant always picks such awesome presents, she doesn't need ideas!" EEEK, that's a lot to live up to.

So anyway...she is into musical theatre, choir, and fashion (both wearing and creating-she has a sewing machine)....and likes on-trend/designer brands. This summer it was Lilly Pulitzer, not sure what is cool for that age group now.

She's small for her age, so adult size clothes (and often accessories) are a bit big, but kiddie stuff can be too juvenile. I was looking at subscription box services, but a lot of the crafty ones seem babyish, while the adult ones are too adult for her (ie, she's not going to use a set of DIY coasters).

Thanks so much for any help. Being stumped on this one is making me feel really old and mom-ish!!

Oh, budget is $50-ish.
