I dont know if its the kind of thing you wre aiming for but I recently bought my (oops now 14! year old neice!!) neice a book by Kaz cooke called "girl talk" or girl stuff, cant remember the exact title.
I gave it to her for her 12 th birthday, I thought it was great as its full of all the stuff a teen wants to know but can be a bit embarrassed to ask about.
Drinking, drugs, alcohol, sex, boys, periods, EVERYTHING! it also has great chapters on developing relationships with parents and how to talk to them about Stuff That Matters.
just an idea!
umm, when I was 13 my parents bought me a beautiful midnight blue chamise, like a nighty thing, silky ...made me feel soooo grown up! I still have it now (and OMG it still fits! its abit short though!!)
Maybe a gift voucher that way she could buy something she really likes/wants or you could take her clothes shopping (give her a limit). Maybe makeup if she's into that, music, dvd's.
