Birthday gift ideas - HELP

[allwildgirl]

My DD, Sophie, turns 9 this month. I have no idea what to get for her. I don't want to get her some throwaway toy that she'll get sick of in 2 days.

Does anyone have any brilliant ideas? She already has an iPod, and a portable CD player for her room.

Last year I got her a dog

How about a digital camera? Girls love to take pictures!!

I LOVE the camera idea!! Sophie seems to be creative and this would be a great outlet for her.

I agree with Laura and Michele!

This may or may not appeal to Sophie but my DD11 is having a great time with her horseback riding lessons. Through our Park and Rec dept. I signed her up for 8 lessons at a cost of $150. Not cheap but we really wanted her to develop other interests aside from video games and reading plus it's good exercise. Check to see if you have any local stables that offer riding lessons. A lot of girls that age love horses.

Sue ~ she does LOVE horses and riding, but the closest stable to us isn't very convenient at all.

I like the camera idea!

Aw, that's too bad. Well at least if you get a camera she can take pictures of horses. ;-)

Take her to a play, give her a party, take her to a theme park, play putt golf, bowling, movie, camping, a corn maze,...I love the camera idea too.

The idea is to die young as late as possible.
