Gift ideas for a 13 year old girl (tomboy)
My niece is a little tomboy who's not into pink, or make-up &
dresses. Any gift ideas for a 13 year old girl? Thanks. |

Books in her favorite genre, tickets to a sporting or other type of event she'd enjoy [take her as your guest], board game or other game, craft [leather craft?] that she might have shown an interest in or would take to based on previous indicators. There's so much that can be done that doesn't need to be 'girlie', just be guided by her current interests and expand on the thought. -Aula |

I was more like that at that age, and that wasn't too long ago... -CDs or DVDs? -Soccer ball/basket ball/football? -Betta fish in a small (1gal) tank or nice little betta bowl? -Books? -Neat, low-maintenance plant (like a cool looking cactus, air plant or something)? I dunno... If all else fails, even a gift card for her favorite store or even a gift certificate for something like the local movie theater could be an idea. Tomboy or girlie-girl, at 13, I think most kids like the movies! Does she like certain activities? Maybe a new fishing rod/sleeping bag/tent might be something to look at if she likes camping. A new baseball glove if she likes sports. A new band hoodie or T-shirt if there's one you can find of her favorite band. Maybe if she plays a guitar/bass/violin/etc, new strings or a pick. If she's a drummer, a new set of drum sticks. Does she like to take pictures? Maybe a new little digital camera (since the price of digital cameras has gone down so much, you can get a nice little camera for pretty cheap) New earphones/case/speakers/etc., for her iPod (if she has one) Does she have a prepaid cell phone? Maybe a phone card and a gift card from some place? I remember we got a betta fish for my brother one year not long ago for his birthday. He, at maybe 15, thought it was such a cool gift. Another year, or maybe the other brother (can't remember!) we got him one of those air plants. We got DS1's older brother a cactus for a Christmas present this last Christmas, and he was turning 14 soon after. I know these examples are boys, but they're around the same age. Just some ideas? |

I think it's cruel to keep fish in these tiny containers, usually without any filtration. A small amount of still (unfiltered) water for a betta is their natural habitat, and they do not breathe air that comes from filtration or air bubbles in the water. Naturally, they often live in shallow water, and they jump, basically, from puddle to puddle. They are not schooling fish, and *can( be aggressive to other (different breeds) of fish. It's very, very common to find betta living in the rice paddies in Thailand, not in lakes, rivers, oceans, etc., but can be found in small, shallow, slow moving streams. Quick search on google brought me back a few hits, and these were the top matches. http://www.centralpets.com/animals/f...h/fwf4446.html http://www.plakatthai.com/smarag.html http://www.majesticbettas.com/ If you believe that it's cruel to keep a betta in a small container without filtration, that's not really an educated reason. Any other fish, basically, needs a properly set up tank. IME, the bettas I have had in my community tanks live far shorter and stressful lives than those I've kept isolated in betta tanks. Goldfish, OTOH, I have seen in bowls and that is a sad situation as goldfish do require lots of filtration due to being, generally, dirty fish. They also require air in the water to breathe properly. And yes, I currently have a small tank of a single goldfish, a couple large tanks of cichlids, a large tank of freshwater and a true brackish tank. I have a small betta in a small betta bowl as well, and he's been around for just under 3 years now. I have also done the marine, which lost it's fun for me long ago. http://badmanstropicalfish.com/articles/article38.html http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takea...ltl=1179473380 A search on Google will return many such hits. |
