ProudGrandma Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 you guys all did so well with my nephew....now I need help with my niece. She is 15. I have already spend about $15 on a phone case that she wants...so I only have about $10-15 left. Can't get her face, body lotion stuff...very sensitive skin and her stuff is expensive. She is big into swimming and horseback riding (although she doesn't own a horse, they live in NYC). Any great thoughts for me??? I thought about a gift card, but something tangible is nice too. You see, her mom is from France and so right now she is living in France and going to school there (until January) and she won't be home for Christmas. Her mom visited her in October and brought the phone case with her so she would have some gifts to open. But I also wanted to get her something else and send it to NYC for her when she returned. So I could do a gift card but it might not be as much fun as a "regular" gift. Know what I mean? thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plansrme Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Hair bling. There are tons of headbands with rhinestones and flowers such that would look cute on girls that age. Etsy has oodles of cute ones, but so will Ulta, Sephora, DSW, Target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProudGrandma Posted November 21, 2015 Author Share Posted November 21, 2015 I forgot to mention that she is not a girly girl. No hair blings....good idea for MY daughter though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anne in CA Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 If she is into horses, maybe a horse calendar? Horse people love pictures of horses. Even my teen nieces still proudly display their Breyers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Is she a reader? Does she have an e-reader? If yes, you could send an e-book that she could get while in France. Otherwise, perhaps a t-shirt with a swimming or horse theme. Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Girls' Mom Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Cute, funky socks, an infinity scarf, or an itunes gift card. 15 year olds are an enigma when it comes to gift buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Ivy Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Infinity scarf, cute knitted gloves/mittens, fuzzy socks, fleece-lined leggings. Great idea - and here are some cute ones with horses: (Just searched on Amazon for infinity scarves with horses) Choice 1 Choice 2 Choice 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrixieB Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 (edited) Great idea - and here are some cute ones with horses: (Just searched on Amazon for infinity scarves with horses) Choice 1 Choice 2 Choice 3 I vote choice 3 if you are not in a hurry, or choice 1 if you want the scarf sooner (looks like same scarf but different prices/shipping choices).

Southern Ivy Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I vote choice 3 if you are not in a hurry, or choice 1 if you want the scarf sooner (looks like same scarf but different prices/shipping choices). I am such a dork. They ARE the same, aren't they? haha For some reason, I thought the light gray horses were just the prints showing through a fabric overlap. I need to pay more attention. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan in SC Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 What about a novelty swim? I'd get a silicone one made by Speedo or TYR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlsdMama Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 What girl doesn't love socks, music, chocolate, a favorite book, bracelets, or earrings? :D 1. iTunes - I know it's a gift card but my kids love iTunes cards. 2. If she's a reader, it's so special to buy an especially loved classic and enjoy that with her. 3. Are her ears pierced? Do you see her wear earrings in pictures? 4. I can't respect anyone who doesn't love cute socks, so in my mind, they are *the* perfect gift. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Yell Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 my 15yo REAAAALLLLLY loves getting iTunes cards. My oldest actually writes letters on paper and sends them snail mail to friends across the country- she loves getting postage stamps for mailing her letters- a favorite was Harry Potter, and Batman https://store.usps.com/store/browse/productDetailSingleSku.jsp?categoryNavIds=buy-stamps%3astamps-by-type%3aforever-stamps&categoryNav=false&navAction=push&navCount=0&atg.multisite.remap=false&categoryId=forever-stamps&productId=S_588404 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 My oldest actually writes letters on paper and sends them snail mail to friends across the country- she loves getting postage stamps for mailing her letters... Your daughter might enjoy receiving a seal and sealing wax; mine did. For example, UNIQOOO Hogwarts Magic School Badge Vintage Wax Seal Stamp Rosewood Handle Copper Face or Owl 3/4" diameter Brass Wax Seal Stamp or Manuscript Pen Decorative Sealing Complete Set Sticks of wax ~ 10pcs Colors Antique Carved Wax...
