Gift Card to one of her fav places to buy clothes?

Why don't you just give her a card saying you are gonna get Taylor Swift tickets.

She sounds like my dd. Her birthday is shortly before Christmas. She’s getting a new laptop with a drawing pad for Christmas, but we were stumped for her birthday. We wound up getting her some Hamilton socks and a Hamilton sketchbook, some Pokémon games (preorder, they come out right before her birthday), new headphones, and some clothes. It feels underwhelming, but I think she’ll like it, along with dinner at her favorite restaurant.

Since you mentioned she loves traveling and you are going to be away, maybe you could get her something new to use on the trip.

Does she already have the soundtrack to Hamilton? I don't think kids need a signature gift. Ask her to make a wish list - that will give you ideas.

We are giving Christmas gifts early this year as we are going to be away from mid-December. My 11 year old DD LOVES pop music, writing and reading, clothes, musicals, travel. She is also still young enough to love her stuffed animals! But has too many already! We are getting her a couple of nice dresses and thereafter feeling stumped. Thoughts for a signature gift? If Taylor Swift Reputation tickets were out, we'd get those.. but no luck on that.
