Ipod nano/shuffle? With a quality head phone set? (Touch is more $$ & not so tough. Its more a parents pressie IMO coz of camera & net accessibility)

Camera
Jewelery &/or quality jewelry box
Straightener/dryer
Storage trunks

DD1 is getting ipod touch & ipod dock/stereo speaker set. She got straightener & dryer for her birthday.
I want to also try get her storage trunks for her room. They have some awesome ones for that age group.

Mine sounds very similar to your niece's. Fit & loves her netball. Not sure about them, but my DD loves her netball association t shirt & would love more (they're not cheap!) So that might be an idea if they don't already have them. It may be a bigger deal in my house though being a single parent family. Some kids are lucky & have that kind of stuff
