maybe a few small items, and mostly gift card. like a $40 gift card somewhere, and a few things like lipstick, nail polish, lotions, etc)

I get my 14 and 17 year old SILs gc's. Last year it was to Victoria's Secret (they love the Pink stuff) and this year I am doing abercrombie.

I do like to give a gift, but this is what they like.

I would go with this too - just make sure to give the gift receipt so if they prefer a different scent, they can change it.

Honestly? I think these are a waste of money because SO many people get these at this age!!

I remember getting SO many of them when I was a teenager and when my parents moved (when I was 24Chat Icon ) threw out literally a lawn garbage back full of them that had barely been used.

My SILs have a ton too, that is why I wouldn't buy it for them.

A gift card to a mall (Like a Simon gift card for Roosevelt Field) or an Amex gift card - that way she can use it at whatever store she likes.
