I know gift cards seem so impersonal, but my daughter was all about gift cards for music, books, or clothes when she was that age.
11 is such a tough age because some are still kids and others seem to think they're all grown up. I'm with Sunny, gift cards always fit.
piece of cake, I had one :lol: she is 13 now.
mp3 players are great gifts , if she does not have a computer you could down load her songs. there running pretty cheap now for a 1g as low as 14.00
also gift cards are big for kids.
Does she have an iPod? iTunes gift cards have been #1 on my son's list since he got his. If she's a big reader you could do Borders or Barnes and Noble gift cards.
Clothes stores American Eagle. ETC......
Ken doll?
A Borders card--that way she can get books, CDs or a DVD.
Or a mall gift certificate?
My 12 year old likes having her own Starbucks card, too. So when she gets one for as little as $5, she's ecstatic.
Does she like jewelry? My girls love Claire's. I know they also have cute hair accessories in that store.
They also have other fun stuff, like lip gloss, pillows, celebrity stuff, pencils, notebooks, address books, journals, etc.
It's been a while since my daughter was 11, seems to me she was really getting into video games at this time. If you have a Game Stop or similiar such video outlet near you, used games are $10-30 with new ones around $40-50 just check and see what/if she has (e.g. Sony/Wii/X-box and stationary or portable)
Good luck.
this is what I was going to say. my daughter is going on 11 and still loves littlest pet shops, my little pony, ect.... where as some of her friends are into clothing and makeup!!Quote:

I'd also agree to get a gift card - especially to B&N or Borders.
Does she have High School Musical 1 and 2? ALL of the middle school kids I substitute can sing it... I teach at three different schools alternately.
I was all about gift certificates back in the day (you know when you got a certificate...), 11 was all about the gift certificates.
I had a weird idea that... one thing my mom did when I was little/that age was she got me makeup but (and a big but here) it was colors that were "idiot proof" and good quality. You could get her a Bare Escentuals kit, where she could sleep in it and be okay...
