[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 13yo DD. Her favorite gifts she got 2 weeks ago on her birthday were a pair of Snoopy slides, a pair of soccer PJ pants and Dicks gift cards. 
She would not use Ulta/Sephora gift cards.

Ask the parents for ideas/suggestions OP. Or ask what hobbies she has. [/quote]

She’s probably in the minority then. Most teenage girls don’t want Snoopy slides or Dick’s gift cards. Is she a tomboy?[/quote]

Mine would love! She's not vain like yours.[/quote]

Why are you insulting my daughter? I didn’t insult yours. It makes sense a tomboy wouldn’t like Sephora. But liking Sephora doesn’t mean my daughter is vain. [/quote]

We don't call people Tomboys anymore, PP. That's an insult. Why on earth would you consider a sporty girl boy-like? How rude!!![/quote]

What’s wrong with Tomboy?  I was a Tomboy; lots of girls were.  I dont consider it an insult.[/quote]

+1 I still am one![/quote]

Why are your ideas of gender so rigid that you have to call yourself a boy if you aren't wearing pink and sparkles and makeup? 
[/quote]

No one is being called a boy. And what is wrong with having similar interests as a boy?[/quote]

It's the fact that you consider those to be boy characteristics. They're not. Someone can just be athletic without you gendering it. [/quote]

NP but enough already, you’ve explained your point several times. It’s like me continuing to argue with my parents about my 19 year old daughter wearing cheeky bikini bottoms or explaining why some boys/men who are not queer wear nail polish.

OP — if you know the kid or their parents well, ask for recs. If not, get a gift card to Target or Nordstrom, add a pair of simple medium size hoop earrings from Macy’s or Claire’s and call it a day. I used to spend waaayyy too much time overthinking gifts but have found most tweens/teens prefer gift cards.[/quote]
