need ideals (not on topic)

My husband just called , one of the men he works with ,daugther, was in a burn accident and is in the hospital. He needs me to go get a gift for her from all the guys in the office...she is 11 years old . I don't know much details other than her hands weren't burned so i know she has use of her hands.....what do 11 year old girls like now days?...some of my thoughts are.. a robe..virtual pet game..balloons...I will probably have about 50-75 dollars to spend....any ideals?? or are my ideals what a 11 year old will like?...~Mary~

Mary, I don't have ANY 11 year old girls around me but my co-worker has a 10 year old daughter, she's into nail polish, boys, teen magazines, boys, music, boys, her game boy, boys, talking on the telephone, boys and oh, did I mention boys?  Sorry I couldn't be of more help but I will be keeping her in my thoughts and prayers.  I'll ask around and if I hear anything else I'll let ya know, this is hard since I don't know her.  She could be a total tomboy and not like any of that stuff.... ugh! Best of luck! Sheryl

Mary you have a hard job!  Let me think.  I have a thirteen year old daughter.  My daughter loves music and boys!  All girls are suckers for stuffed animals.  My suggestion would be a small stuffed animal with a balloon and if she is going to be in the hospital awhile I would get her some teen magazines.  I think a virtual pet game might be good for the hospital and at home.  Good Luck and I hope she gets better soon!!

Mary,   Two words HANNA MONTANA. That is the lastest and greatest craze now. Maybe something soft to cuddle with, that is always a sweet thing to have. Bless her little heart!! Hope this helps a little. Danielle

Webkinz is the craze for the virtual pet these days.  Also, as pp mentioned a Hannah Montana CD.  I have a business that does birthday parties and they love both of these ideas.  Also, a new pocketbook for the summer would be a big hit.  Alot of the girls are getting them right now. I will keep her in our prayers. Barbara

I would see if I could find out if she has a Game Boy or a PSP.  If so, 50-75 dollars will buy a couple of games for her.  Books and magazines would be a good idea as well.  It just sounds like she'll be down for a bit, from what you said, so something to occupy her would be a good thing. Take care and good luck. Ellen
