Daughter is turning 12 in November and I have no idea what to get her for her birthday. She has a ds, ipod, wii, cd player/ipod dock.

Throw me some ideas.......was going to upgrade her ipod to a touch but i dont see her using her ipod that much just yet. So thought we would wait on that. She is going to get a mobile phone for xmas as she is off to highschool and will be using the local bus.

Anything more meaningful?
Help have no idea

My two girls had cheaper ipods that they hardly used but got Ipod touches for Christmas last year. They have been a huge hit with both of them, they use them for Apps (educational and games), music, movies (great for when we are on longer drives or need to wait awhile somewhere) and even books. They use the camera and video functions often.

Otherwise what about a significant piece of jewelery, a Pandora if you are into those or a special necklace/ring to represent turning 12.

I recently had this conversation with a girlfriend. She wanted to buy her something somewhat grown up but still age appropriate. She also had all the latest gadgets. We decided on a nice bottle of perfume, grown up but still age appropriate.

Thanks, so mayb an ipod touch then, i was thinking either a signet ring, or sterling silver bracelet or knecklace(something she can wear nxt yr in highschool too).

perfume maybe out as she has allergies to alot of things. nice idea though.

she is a big reader too.....any suggestions onbook sets?

What about some type of e-reader?

i have a kindle, and the other day whilst at a younger bros party he was at, she had a read of the hunger games. but after a bit didnt like it. So was a bit iffy about that. mayb a tablet thing that can also b an ereader....which i guess an ipod touch does that too.
