Well I don't know anyone 13 or 14, but I read an article about what to get 'tweens' in the news paper. Kids now-a-days want things that are up to date with the technology. Look for starter kits of a Digital Camera or a Video Camera. Make sure it has good reviews, the average price for that is about $50-$150 here's a link:

The newest thing is these Video recorders/Cameras two things built into one.
-Make-up can be baught anytime, but if you want to get a tween make-up a set is the way to go.
http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=175310&PseudoCat=vt-se-xx-xx for example like that. Lots of different shades of makeup and different types of make-up to choose from so you don't have to madly search for the favorite types of make-up.
-Since it's holiday time the Xbox 360 is in high demand, an alternative to that is the PSP. I myself have one, the screen is big, bright and doesn not give me a headache unlike the gameboys. It can play movies, music videos, games -the games are in a scratch proof case and you can pop them in the PSP with the case on-, look at pictures, and browse the web when you are near a wireless internet sourse. You can also hook the PSP up to your computer with a USB cable instead of using wireless. It's made by sony so you know it's going to be great. I get my tv's, cameras, and video cameras from sony. They all work fantastic.
As I said before since it is christmas all the electronic consols will be in a kit at a lower price. Make sure you get the kit instead of just the consol -the price of the consol alone is the same price at the kits during the holidays-
-If your a big VMK fanatic or regular sims addict, perhaps the "Sims 2 holiday edition" might be to your liking. It's the normal Sims 2 but with over 40 new holiday obects and things. If you have all the Sims 2's you can go on the EA games website and purchase just the Holiday Pack upgrade -also a wonderful gift- I must say make sure you are aware of the "T" Rating. It's there for a reason. Carefully read why it is rated T before buying it and make sure you are ok with it. It's not like the first "Sims" at all.
