Gifts for 13 Year Old Girls

A reader asked me for gift ideas for 13 year old girls. I happen to have had a 13-year-old daughter, so here’s what I’m learning are cool gift ideas for 13 year olds. (This is a HARD age to buy gifts for, don’t you think?)

Here’s what’s hot and fun for new teenage girls — from what my daughter tells me and the research I’ve done in stores and online. Happy shopping!
