12 year old girl xmas gift ideas?

Am in the process of trying to compile a list of xmas pressies I need to get. Am struggling though with my 12 year old niece.

She's a girly girl, into sleepovers etc but I have no idea what to get her!

Any ideas anyone???

    My nearly 12 year old would like cds and clothes - tesco do lovely tops in pink and lilac (hint) - daughter loves "the !!!!!cat Dolls" they are a girl band.

    Primark also does some lovely tops very reasonably. - DD says that they are so cool.

    What about a sleepover "hamper".

    Pick a few items, some pj's from primark/matalan, travel toothbrush a lipgloss, some microwave popcorn etc.

    Love this idea! Had been looking for something in the shops - but much nicer to do it yourself!!

    I had thought of buying clothes (got her some great jeans from NEXT last year) but wanted to do something a little different (and to be honest, cheaper!)

    A few themed sections -
    the sleepover hamper
    some vouchers
    a washing one - batch stuff, shampoos, perfumes(boots with their 3 for 2 offer at mo would be great for lots of little gifts)
    Nice to save.

    I think sainsbury's are doing lip gloss sets for £1. This may be good if you do the hamper.
