I have having a 1st birthday party for my daughter this weekend and all the kids coming are under the age of 5 except one, she's almost 11. I had no trouble finding party favors for the little kids but have no idea what to give her. I don't want her to feel left out and give her nothing but I don't really know what 11 year old girls like. Any ideas?

What can I do next?

If her parents allow her to wear fingernail polish maybe a small bottle in a bright color. Also, lip glosses and flavored lip balms are really good as well as some cute/colorful hairclips.

Have fun.

How about burning them each a CD with music from their favorites: Jonas Brothers and Hannah Montana?

You can even print out customized CD labels so they remember the party.

Best,

A small bottle of lotion, a small picture frame, something crafty are usually good bets that my girls like. You could get her a set of fabric markers (Walmart or craft store) & a white pillow case to decorate. Michael's has lots of little crafty things and Justice has lots of little candies, hair clips, bath gels, journals,WebKinz (very popular) etc. that I used for stocking stuffers for my girls, 10 & 12.

Hi M.! Love all the ideas you've gotten so far...BUT...my 10 year old daughter would hate anything like nail polish, lip gloss....depends on the girl. Mine is very tomboyish. I think the notepads/pen ideas are pretty universal and anything to do with crafting. Target has an aisle...where all the crayons and such are...that has boxes and boxes of inexpensive crafts like beading, foam animals etc. I've found that any of that stuff is safe for any girl ages 6-12. So sweet of you to get something special for her :)

I say hit the $1 spot at Target or go to the dollar store and buy stationary, stickers, nail polish, cute hair ties, lotions, etc. Pick a theme. If you buy stationary, buy pens and stickers to go with it. If you buy nail polish, buy files, toe seperators, etc. Have fun!

Hi M.,
What about some nail polish? My 8 year old had a party last weekend and there was an 11 year there. We had the party at a salon and all the girls got makeup and nail polish to take home and the first thing the 11 year old showed her mom was the nail polish. I know I found some cute little bottles of different colors at christmas time at Wal-Mart. Hope this helps and good luck!

When we did a party for girls about that age, we did nail polish, lip gloss and bracelets. Even some other inexpensive jewelry would be nice.

My girls like small notebooks with colorful covers and pens/colored pencils/markers. I agree with the lip gloss and nail polish, but the little girls might feel jealous.

HI M., My 12 yo and 9 yo daughters love all my smelly lotions and body wash and mists, etc. Maybe a nice set for her she might like. They come in a wide price range too. My 12 yo loves her nails painted too so that may be a good idea with a couple polishes and files in a cute bag for her. Good luck and have fun!

My 10 year old cousin loves little lotions and lip glosses that she can take on "over nights" with her.

Party Place has an amazing amount of stuff - ask the clerk to help you choose age appropriate things - and the 99 Cents ONLY stores also have all kinds of goodies she would love.

How about some nail polish and a little manicure set or some small lotions from Bath and Body works, or something similar. Lip gloss would probably be nice as well.
