Gift ideas for a 14year old girl

Last year my mom got my DD a purse made from old jeans like this.

She may also like a magazine subscription. It's something she could look forward to every month. My DD almost 13 likes her M magazine and I got it last year on Amazo for about $15. I went and got an issue at the store and wrapped it up in a shirt box with a card.

I was thinking about magazines too. I had read on these boards about people buying magazine subscriptions on ebay. Even though I use ebay a LOT, I wasn't too sure about using it for a magazine subscription. I decided to try it and got Disney Family Fun for a couple of dollars. Sure enough, it showed up just like it was supposed to! Maybe you can find some age appropriate magazines for them at a low cost!

You sound like you're really crafty and creative. Have you considered making one of those draw string backpacks? Those are really popular with girls and boys in the young teen and older age group. Here is a link to an easy (and free) pattern: http://sewing.about.com/od/freeprojects/ss/stringbackpack.htm

Your nieces are fortunate to have you looking out for them.

Buying a music CD of their favorite artist or a microphone system may be a good idea. Some girls are fond of wallets and pocketbooks. They like the latest styles and you can find them at reasonable prices, if you shop at places like Wal-Mart or Target. If the teen you are buying for already has an iPod then you can send an iTune gift card or cute iPod cases they will appreciate.
