Lots of rich mommas answering, OP. My normal, middle class 7th grade girl received and enjoyed:
- Hair clips, earrings, necklaces from Target
- Face masks, body wash, lip balms, and body lotions from Target
- Squishmallows/Jellycats
- Fancy pens, pencils, highlighters, and a journal/sketchbook

Absolutely nothing from Sephora, Lululemon, E. Newton, etc.

I have a 7th grader and no idea what Labubu is.

Ask parents or Amazon gift card that can be switched to other gift cards.

Target gift card (since you don’t really know if she is more dicks or Sephora) and a few bags of candy like Nerds gummy clusters and Trolli - this is what my 13 year old friends give and receive every bday.

She would not use Ulta/Sephora gift cards.

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

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

DP but mine would also choose Dick’s over Ulta in a heartbeat. You have to know your audience.

Kendra Scott necklace. Ariana Grande perfume. Lululemon gift card.

You don’t know what hair type they have or if they already have a certain shampoo they like. Do you know what color bag she may have already? Nothing worse than getting a bag in a color you don’t like or one you already have. Then you have to trek to the shop to return.

Sephora gift card.

Labubu is all the rage right now. Bath bombs from Lush are always good.

Need a bday gift for rising 7th grader. What do girls this age like? Neighborhood kid and I am clueless.
