Birthday present for 13 year-old girl

What is a good birthday present, that is not too expensive, for a cool, girly, 13 year old girl?

Answer:
Hi Sunny,
Well, my best advice for this is to follow what my teenager and her friends seem to be all about this year - Twilight. It's the book series by Stephenie Meyer, and I'm sure you've heard about the movie that opened last month.

My daughter and all of her friends have read the books (all four of them) and seen the movie, too. So, if this cool, girly 13 year old likes to read at all and has not read the books, definitely get them. If she has not seen the movie, get her tickets. Though, in my opinion, the books are MUCH better than the movie (the first one, anyway). I've read the entire series - so has the rest of my family, including my 15 year old son. We couldn't put the books down.

Other suggestions are Twilight movie posters and other memorabilia.

Hope this helps,
Alison
