Gift Ideas NEEDED... But for something TOTALLY NWR !!!

My cousins daughter just got her FIRST Monthly friend!! (poor kid! only 10 ! )
Anyway, I want to get her a little something special. She LOVESSS to read, shes a smart active, fun girl... Very 'girly' girl, very into the nails, coordinating outfits, bags, wallets.. very mature for her age...

Cant think of anything to get her...

Anyone been down this road? What do I buy her???

Thanks!

What about the book from Judy Blume. Are you there God it's me Margaret? That was such a great book!

Re: Gift Ideas NEEDED... But for something TOTALLY NWR !!!

I loved that book!!

Yeah like a little day of relaxation with a book. You can make a basket.

How about a nice dinner in the city - I saw that on an episode of the cosbys

Re: Gift Ideas NEEDED... But for something TOTALLY NWR !!!

What about making a little gift basket with a book, some bubble bath..for those crampy days...and a heating pad...for those crampy days when you cant get into the bath with some midol as well and maybe a few tampos/pads. We can call it the first period emergency kit.

Oh Deb... good one with the midol. I remember when I first got mine I was so miserable. Then my friend got hers and her family threw her like a little party. She got all these presents. I felt like I was jipped! They looked at it as a celebration of womanhood my family took it as 'oh my Gawd our baby is growing up '

I remember when I first got mine my mom called my grandma and all her friends...I was mortified

Re: Gift Ideas NEEDED... But for something TOTALLY NWR !!!

LOL, This is a funny thread ! Thanks for the ideas, girls!! I actually wanted to get her that book last year, and wasnt sure if I should (to prepare her), so now I think i might, if she doesnt have it already! shes a bookworm!
I love the basket idea, the pj's, all the ideas!
Im making her a little basket !! YAYYY. awesome ideas.

10 seems so young! I got mine at 12-13.. my mom at 16 ! lucky!

Re: Gift Ideas NEEDED... But for something TOTALLY NWR !!!

Id say a book or a gift certificate for a manicure/pedicure
if she is freaked out that will relax her

i remember getting a small piece of jewerly from my aunt. i think it's based on an italian tradition.

Re: Gift Ideas NEEDED... But for something TOTALLY NWR !!!

I agree with Tammy a pedi/mani gift certificate. A whole basket may embarass her, I remember my Mom told everyone and people were calling to congratulate me and I wanted to move to Tibet I also got mine at 10

Re: Gift Ideas NEEDED... But for something TOTALLY NWR !!!

I was 10 also, and my mom just called to tell me the other day that my sister (10) got hers for the second month in a row!!!! I didn't expect it so young with her... Anyway, I would only do something for her if you are close enough with her that she would tell you HERSELF about it. Many young girls are not comfortable with it when they get it young. ONly you can say, we don't know this young lady very well. If yoiu do anything, I would take her to lunch and a pedicure or something like that. Maybe just an afternoon of shopping.

pamper her with a gift certificate tot he nail salon.

Re: Gift Ideas NEEDED... But for something TOTALLY NWR !!!

You are too adorable Anna! How nice of you! I like the mani/pedi idea also -- or go to a store like Sephora and get her some of the girly girl body spray, bath wash and deodorants. If she got AF she'll probably need to think more about hygeine. It's so great that they have all these products geared towards teens. Flip through a YM mag and get her a bunch of products they advertise. God, I was so embarrassed about getting mine and I was 13 already.
