I need help ..Christmas related

[tazirai]

Hey guys listen im the proud father of an Eleven year old girl. I love her to death but for the life of me I can't figure out what to get her for christmas.

We're gonna go to Japan next spring for the Sakura Matsuri for her birthday, but thats not the only gift I can think of that will be cool.
Problem is she's a tween and im confused now lol.
I got her mother something nice and her brother some Gi joes and Star wars stuff.

She's into video games, likes dolls, J-pop, some cartoons, planes(sh'es been wanting to be a pilot since the age of 5 ), clothes like all girls and cell phones( like all girls ><)

Cellie is a nono, to young an Im a hater of anything having to do with Bratz toys.

Please help me out^^
The fate of the world is at hand.

Does she like music? You could get her some cd's, a cd player, or an mp3 player. Might get her a cartoon series on dvd. Don't all girls like ponies?
Heck, get her GTA San Andreas, I hear its fun for the whole family.

I don't know if any of those ideas are good (the serious ones I mean), but I hope you do find something good.

On a personal note, what do you get for cousins? Both a boys, one is 16 and the other is like 13. Last year I got them each books (aren't I great?) I got one the Harry Potter series, and the other the Chronicles of Narnia. They're into video games and such, but I have no clue what is big with kids that age. (Geez, I'm getting out of touch.)

Does she have her own access to FFXI? You could always farm tons of gil for her to show how 'hard-working' you are for her. [/joke]

Anyhow, maybe you should get her a gift card or cash since you don't know what to get her. <_<

I agree with Caspian, an mp3 player would probably be right up her alley! Load it with some Jpop and she'll probably squeal! LOL Or you could pop for a PSP and then she can play video games, watch videos, and listen to Jpop! Or a remote control plane would be cool if she's into planes. Just make sure to get a sturdy one because they crash a lot at first:

As for the boys Caspian, if you don't want to get a video game for the 13 yr old, they have some awesome Lego like robotic kits out there. I know my Godson is 13 and loves them. There are also VERY cool Star Wars lego sets out there that look awesome. Here are some links for ideas:

I've seen these sets and they are VERY cool:

This is just an idea. They have better sets that actually move too:

There are cool plane kits too if he likes planes:

These are AWESOME Star Wars sets but very expensive. They have a lot of different sets in different price ranges though but these are majorly cool:

Erector has some nice kits too:

The 16 yr old, forget it! LOL Just get him a gift card to a game store or Best Buy. Sometimes you can get away with a cool watch or a favorite team jersey but all in all once they get to 16+ they are a pain to buy for unless they like video games. I tend not to buy video games for children that are not my own. So many parents hate them so I don't want to ruin the kids Christmas with a unapproving parent.

Re: I need help ..Christmas related

I pod, not the type with video, either a shuffle (not a nano they scratch too easily). That would be a cool present. Their not cheap either, but not too expensive.

Either that or a PSP. Do you have a Wireless connection? Man I'd love to go take a **** with my psp and browsing the web...
