Or there's these cool iPhone wallets which would be perfect for just a couple bucks. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-a-12-year-old-girl#post-1973266 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 23:26:06 +0000 avivoca 1973266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: @singingbee: She told us she wants an iTunes gift card (which she is getting from DH). She doesn't like to read. She's not in any sports and doesn't have any hobbies. She is on her iPhone a lot. I'll ask her again what she would like. </p> <p>Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-a-12-year-old-girl#post-1973058 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 19:57:55 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1973058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does she go on a lot of sleepovers?

She's allowed to experiment with makeup but I don't think she's allowed to wear it to school. I know my 12-year-old self would have loved to have this set. Maybe I'll get a smaller one.</p> <p>@travelingnanny: @yoursilverlining: She's getting an iTunes giftcard from my husband, but there are very few stores near where they live. It's extremely rural, the nearest Target and decent shopping mall is about an hour and a half away. I don't want to get a Walmart giftcard or give cash because then my SIL could take it and use it to get stuff for herself (and I hate that I have to think of that). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-a-12-year-old-girl#post-1972828 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 16:11:53 +0000 yoursilverlining 1972828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>itunes gift card<br /> Nail polish and a home mani/pedi kit</p> <p>If she likes hair, what about putting together a basket of hair stuff - a bunch of small sized products so she can try a bunch of different kids, some "hair masks", hair accessories, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-a-12-year-old-girl#post-1972799 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 15:54:33 +0000 Sparkler 1972799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My SIL would also be less than thrilled with makeup.

I know my SIL would have a cow over that much make up.</p> <p>Does she have any hobbies? My niece loves to craft so I usually get her supplies of some kind. She also loves nail polish and any kind of nail art. When all else fails, I usually get a Target gift card because I know she enjoys picking out what she wants to spend it on </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gift-ideas-for-a-12-year-old-girl#post-1972719 Fri, 05 Dec 2014 15:06:45 +0000 avivoca 1972719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm at a loss for a Christmas gift for my niece. She is 12 years old and lives in a very rural area. In years past, I've been getting her outfits from stores that other kids shop at, but now that she's in middle school, I know she wants to pick out her own clothes.</p> <p>I'm thinking about getting her this makeup set: <a href="http://www.sephora.com/color-festival-blockbuster-palette-P388290?skuId=1603273" rel="nofollow">http://www.sephora.com/color-festival-blockbuster-palette-P388290?skuId=1603273</a>, but I wanted to know if you guys had any other ideas. Maybe a subscription to a magazine about hair/beauty (which she is interested in), or a small gift card to go with the make-up set? </p> <p>Buying for preteen girls is so hard, plus I just don't know what's in style for them right now. </p>
