I am having the HARDEST time trying to figure out what to get my nieces for Christmas. They are 13 and 14. I only have 3 and 6, I have NO IDEA what kids their age like. PLEEEEEAAAAASSSEEE, If anyone has ANY ideas, let me know! I am DESPERATE! Thank you!
I have a cousin who is 14. I bought her a sweater, a pair of codorouy pants, and a pair of earrings at Neiman Marcus. Once Brittani hit the age of 11 I started buying her clothes. It's too hard to pick out other things for girls that age. I just always call her mom to find out her size. You could also ask her mom which stores she likes that way you will have a better chance of picking out something she will like. I don't do that. I just be sure to get a gift receipt. They don't have a Neimans where she lives so I ordered Brittani's on-line and when I send the gift I am going to enclose the shipping label in case it needs to be returned or exchanged. I just wanted to give you all of the angles. I hope it helps some!

Lol, sims is popular with MY age group! Hehe That game is way too addictive..hehe
At that age, clothes are nice but pre-teens and teens are SO picky, lol. The gift receipt thing that Zoe said is a good idea, then they can exchange it if they don't like it
You could also do a gift receipt to a movie theatre for like her and her friend. It's like 8 bucks to get in..so maybe do it for 25 so that they can get something at the concession stand? My uncle used to do that and I loved it because I was always going to the theatre with my friends

I would definitely say go for a gift card. I know it seems kind of impersonal, but my 11 and 13 year olds absolutely LOVE to be able to go pick their own stuff.
Wal-Mart also has iTune gift cards if they download music at all. They can use the cards to download music to their computer, and then burn it to a CD or put it on an iPod or mp3 player.
I also vote for gift cards. They have those new Visa gift cards that would be cool. Then they could chose any store that takes Visa...and thats a lot of places to chose from.
gift cards. at that age, they start to get real picky when it comes to gifts. especially clothes. with a gift card , they can pick out what they want. that way they only have themselves to gripe at if they end up with something they dont like ! lol
Well, due to the overwhelming response, it looks like that might be what we are going to be getting them. I like the Visa idea. I hate their mom(my brother in laws, ex wife) long story about that one. But we do not talk at all. I think we will see if we can get those cards. Thanks for all you help! That will almost fininsh my christmas shopping(with the exception of stocking stuffers!)
That game is way too addictive..hehe
