Shopping for a 13 year old girl

[Neesy228]

My kids are all younger than my niece (and my two oldest are boys) so I'm *really* out of the teen girl loop. I asked her for a wish list and it says:

Anything from the band One Direction
Jordan slides
jewelry

So, since I apparently got very old without realizing, I have only minor awareness that One Direction is the latest boy band AND I don't even know what Jordan slides are! Ugh.

Any ideas on what would be a good "anything" to get for her from One Direction? And any jewelry suggestions that would be good for her? I was thinking of an Alex and Ani bracelet, but that may be more for older girls?

My budget for her is about $40-50 total. Thanks for any input!

I have a 13 year old sister and I have never heard of Jordan slides Googled and apparently they are Michael Jordan sandals.
If they are a big One D fan I would say to avoid the CD maybe try to find a t-shirt, poster or a One D name fill from one of the DISigners.

For my sister for Christmas I am getting her a gc for her and a friend to use to get a manicure or a pedicure... neat experience gift for a girl who doesnt need anything in particular.

I saw a One Direction toothbrush set at Wal Mart yesterday. At my Wal Mart is was in a cardboard display near the Christmas gifts sets.

My dd is 12, and One Direction is huge for her right now! I would also stay away from cd's. She probably has them! The biggie for my daughter was a 1D hoodie that we found at a kiosk in the mall. I would think a t-shirt or hoodie would be very welcomed! They also have a bunch of 1D stuff at Claire's...jewelry and other novelty type things.

I think the Jordan Slides are slip on shoes. They come in quite a variety of colors/styles, and the of course you have to juggle sizes.

My 13 yo DD wants a One Direction Christmas! Amazon has tons of things. She is getting a 1D charm bracelet, necklace, cardboard cut outs, headphones, earbuds, books, dolls....everything 1D. She is obsessed. We have seen them in concert twice and her room looks like a 1D shrine, lol! Delia's has lots of 1D items too.

I have a 12 year old daughter (turns 13 in February.)
Here's part of what she's getting for Christmas:

-Shirts from Hollister. Very cool in her crowd. I just got an email; the code "37000" will get you a 40% discount, probably all weekend. http://www.hollisterco.com/webapp/w...12552&categoryId=12631&parentCategoryId=12631

- Anything with a Mustache on it
- A NorthFace fleece: http://outlet.altrec.com/the-north-face/girls-khumbu-jacket?skus_all=true

My daughter isn't nearly as into "1D" as some of her friends. But here are a bunch of Ts and hoodies: http://www.redbubble.com/shop/direction+one+t-shirts?page=2&ref=shop_product_refinement Under "style" scroll down to T shirt or Hoodie or whatever.

Justice also carries One Directions clothes and a few other items. Claires had a small rack too..... those would both be budget friendly too.

My dd loves the cheap Forever 21 jewelry. She also likes to look at Claires. Our local store carries Claires $20 gift cards... maybe a $20 gift card from there paired with a OD shirt.. My just turned 13 year olds favorite thing to do is shop and she would love a gift like that(Gift card, plus something to open).

OMG. You just described my daughter. My DD will be 13 in March. We were in Boston last weekend, and she found a necklace with a moustache on it and was totally thrilled! Your list looks like my list

It's pretty much the list of every one of her friends too.

How funny!

I picked this up yesterday at Sears: http://www.sears.com/hybrid-junior-...002VA51875801P?prdNo=4&blockNo=4&blockType=G4 and I KNOW it's going to be a huge hit!

You guys are lucky your teens are into 1D! My DD who is 14 has this on her list:

Anything from the following bands:
My Chemical Romance
Black Veil Brides
Falling in Reverse
All Time Low
Pierce the Veil
Sleeping with Sirens

Google them, you will feel my pain!

OP, the stores Hot Topic, FYE, and Claire's in my local mall have tons of 1D stuff. Things like tshirts, bags, wallets, pj's, posters, calendars, socks, blankets, pillow cases, etc...

I have a neice who is 11 and a huge 1D fan, her list consists of everything she can think of from the band. lol

Your DD is awesome!

DD13 forgot all about 1D to take up stalking Josh Hutcherson.
DD14 is too involved with her own social life to care about celebrities.

Walmart has cute One Direction wall calendars for $9.88
Hot topic and Delias have shirts and other stuff
Target has cute One Direction earbuds for $10 - ours had a little display in the toys that had dolls and the earbuds

OMGosh...my 13 yr old daughter loves My Chemical Romance also. I had never heard of them. I don't know how she even knows who they are.

 

[Desnik]

Your DD is awesome!

Thank you! Yeah she is pretty awesome even though I will never get her love of Black Veil Brides!

My DD is obsessed with MCR! I blame my DH. He loved that song Welcome to the Black Parade when it first came out & introduced her to it. It was all downhill from there! I'm really just teasing, we think it's so funny. She's "in love" with the lead singer Gerard Way.

OP here...Thank you for this. I think this will be perfect for her in the "something" for 1D. I just ordered them!

And thank you to everyone else for their ideas and suggestions - you've given me a bunch of great ideas to add on to the pajamas to finish up her gift. I would have been clueless without all of your help!

Claire's has all kinds of moustache stuff. I know this because my DD15(almost) was pointing out what she liked when we were in there about a week ago.

 

[Aliceacc]

Be careful about the Claire's mustache stuff though. It seems that every piece my daughter has bought has broken incredibly fast. The necklace in particular only lasted a few days.
