I love this idea of sandals made from discarded tires. http://www.deadlinedetroit.com/arti...lip-flops_made_from_dumped_tires#.VA4_haa9K0c
I got my kids longboards at Zumiez. We have Arbors and Sector 9 boards. But the graphics are a very personal choice.
DS18 has one with a tree, DH has a wave, DS13 has a skater, DS12 has a kanji sign, DD's is plain, the one I want has a pin up girl.
Do you know what she would like?
My DD is 11 and she loves doing her nails. I am buying her stamping plates and the stamper, dotting tools and a bunch of polish.
Wondering where you bought the stamping plates & stamper? My girls would love that.
Thank you OP for starting this thread! I have DD16 & DD13. DD13's big gift is tickets for her and I to see 5 seconds of Summer next August. DD16's big gift might be tickets for her and her father to see the play, If Then with Idina Menzel. That is if the show is appropriate for a 16yo. Anyone have an opinion on that?
I have no idea what she would like! She wants one to use to get around her college campus. At least now I have a place to start to look and then I can snoop around and see what kind she would like to have!

I know she would love this one. I know nothing about these. This says its a skateboard, would this be not a good buy since she said she wanted a long board? As I was poking around the site, I also found matching shoes with it, so she would really like those too! As you can see, she is kind of a girly, girl, but I don't want to buy her something that she wouldn't want.
This looks to be a penny or a nickel board. Short compared to a long board but it's used for cruising, not for tricks. DD8 has one similar.
DH and DS18 said a shorter board with a narrower trucks is going to be a little squirrely. If she's not an experienced rider she might fall a lot.
DH recommended a 27-31 inch long board.
This one is 31

ETA: another option is get her the shoes and a gift card for the rough cost of the board.
Joining in. DD13 is pretty easy to buy for (unfortunately - as it is easy to pick things for her then I have way too much and have to buy more for DS15 who is not quite as easy..)
So, far for DD I have a Coach Purse. She has a few of them already. Got it online at the Outlet for $35. She really likes art and drawing so I got her this 50 Piece Anniversary Spirograph. It was on QVC - I know she will have fun with that. She was watching the show also and had no idea what a Spirograph even was...
Other things she wants is a Fitbit, Northface Fleece Jacket, Clothes. She wants new Uggs but is saving her money and will be able to buy them in another week or so. (Her and DS15 clean the office building where I work and each get $40 a week for about an hours worth of work - so that is nice for extra money for them)
I usually get her and her brother a bunch of different gift cards too. We have lots of places within walking distance. So, places like Noodles, Chipotle, Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Skiing GC, Outlet Mall Simon GC, Aero, Target, Etc.
One year that was their main gift because they already had all the big electronic items. So, I got them each a small photo album and filled each pocket with either a gift card or scratch off lottery ticket (they have fun with those).
Does anyone know what womens SKINNY ski pants are? Dd wants them, she hates puffy ski pants but where do I get skinny ones>
