What a sweet question :)\n\nI think the best thing you can do is talk to one of her close friends or familiy members and ask them what she is personally into.  \n\nMy guess is there is a certain piece of jewelry or a certain perfume she wants. If not there is definately something specific out there she wants, and there is at least one person who knows exactly what it is, so my advice again would be to start talking to people close to her.\n\nIn any case, having a friend as sweet as you is a good gift :)\nBest of luck.

14 year olds are kind of in that stage where they arent teenagers yet but they arent kids anymore. sometimes its about finding a balance. maybe dolls and toys are her favorite thing right now but try to give her something else to rave about. makeup or nail polish or girly stuff or something that you and her both like to do that you can do together. make sense??? it'll serve as a "distraction" kinda. but right now i also think that you just need to let her be...she will grow out of them sooner or late. at least she has an older sister that's there for her and is willing to go to great lengths for her. :) good luck

Wait until your 1 month anniversary.  If you give it to her now it seems a bit desperate.  Also, if your giving her gold after 1 week what are you gonna give her after 6 months, a year?  You'll always have to try to top yourself.  A girl doesn't need presents all the time.  Wait for a special occasion.

That's nice to hear,good luck with your friend, a Christmas gift is good idea to let her know you care about her. actually you the one who should decide what kind of gift she might like , amazon has a good collection to choose from and they even put it easy for you , they have sorted all the best selling Christmas gifts into categories at one place , here have a look : http://astore.amazon.com/xmas-20

Whenever I'm in that situation (for anyone, not just boyfriends) I make a list of everything they like to do. Try to be as specific as possible. As you're making the list you might start to come up with some possible ideas. My new-ish boyfriend (who buys everything he wants and is consequently extremely difficult to shop for) just had a birthday and I did the same thing for him. The list was ridiculously long, but I ended up buying him season 1 of Stella, an incredibly stupid sitcom that lasted only 10 episodes. Anyway, he absolutely loved it. He said that it was one of the most thoughtful gifts anyone had ever bought him and that he wouldn't even have thought of buying himself that. So give it a try-- maybe you'll come up with the perfect gift! Good luck!

Don't worry, you are not being rude, your friend is.  She might be being a bit thoughtless because she's busy arranging her wedding.  Gift vouchers are perfectly appropriate.  Just give as much as you can afford and include a card with some heartfelt words about how much your friend means to you and how glad you are that she's getting married.

A good place to look would be Claire's Accessories. I worked there for a long time (before heading back to school) and the kids loved the best friends section, and really anything in the store. Look for a place that had the 10 items for $5 or 15 for $5 They are great places to get good deals. I have birthday presents for my neice for years. I think that would be your best bet. They also carry a lot of the Disney Princess and Tinkerbell products.

I would think that it isn't expected by any means but if you like her or if it is just 'you' to give a gift then feel free...but I wouldn't go overboard or she might be uncomfortable with it.  New babies are always a good reason to give gifts and unlike birthdays that come every year they only come once in a while (for most people anyway), so they are kind of a different situation.

Just keep being her friend.  Keep trying to encourage her.  Do the best you can.  You might not be able to change her, but in the future she will look back and realize how kind and helpful you were.  Stay with her.  And good job!  It's wonderful that you are concerned about her!

I think the cutest thing you can get her is something handmade and creative. Make a mix cd where you put songs that remind you of her on it, or make a video diary and just ramble and walk around your town, showing your favorite places as a couple and reminding her of fun times. You could also do a collage with your inside jokes, things she likes, etc using magazine pictures. try your best and  I guarantee she'll love it.

Try other groups like the Lions, Elks and even the police and fire departments.    If nothing else maybe there is some way you can get together some stuff for her.... Garage sales, ask other friends, check around your own house maybe there is something you could make her something out of... teddy bears out of older clothes you dont wear any more... just look and use your imagination.. :o)

I would get them a card for sure. You could get them a little holiday themed plushie. Those are always cute and my friends love them. Those can be easily found almost anywhere. My friends also like the little bottles of Bath and Body Works stuff. It fits inside purses and the stuff they have is great! They usually go for about $2.50 a bottle, and sometimes they have special sales. They have a lot of different types, so it's pretty fun. Inexpensive jewelry is nice too. Claire's offers a lot of that.\n\nHope this helps!

You are "best friends" not girlfriend/boyfriend, right? That's the drift I get from you so diamonds is NOT the thing for the two of you.  You state she has everything so therefore I think you should get her something "thoughtful"-- remember the different places you have gone with her, the concerts, the movies, the eateries- who is her favorite singers, etc.  Get tickets to a concert, or event that you know she would love to go see and get 2, for you and her.

Dear GAWD, NO! Buy her something girlie, and sexy. I went to a shower recently & the look on the bride's face when she opened the cake stand was priceless. She offered up her best fake smile & tossed it among the HOT teddies and panties we all got her. Lame lame lame to get registry stuff for the shower. My $.02.
