Sterling silver jewelry. A charm on a black leather cord, (worn as a necklace) or a bracelet in similar ilk is a good choice. Or a ring. You can get everything from Irish claudahs to skulls. Sterling silver isn't expensive. You should be able to get something for under ten dollars. Present it in a chinese take-out box. You can find them in gift wrap areas sometimes. Or find the instructions for making one. Another great gift is three truffles-the giant ones that run about $3.50 each. These look great in a tissue lined Chinese take-out box. (Or even a mini-gift bag.) Always been a winner for me.

I would suggest you get her a blue, silver, or gold purse filled with stuff. like lip gloss, nail polish, small thing of lotion, perfume,and  mirror. or you could put other things like cut pencils, minature notepads, hair scrunchies, or even brush. 11 year olds are usually trying to grow up so don't put things that are kiddy. Good Luck!!

i'd do something cute she can keep and remember you always for...a true graduation gift. maybe a picture frame with you two in it or a charm bracelet that has charms for all the activities she was involved in or something you think fits her personality. good luck!

A gift card is perfect for someone who seems to have everything.\n\n~ Barnes & Noble, Borders, Amazon if she likes books\n~ iTunes if she's into music\n~ Bed, Bath, and Beyond, Pottery Barn, if she is the decorating type.\n\nOr maybe a gift card to her favorite clothing store, hair salon, spa, or nail parlor, if she's that type. That type stuff makes you feel special and pampered, but is quite expensive and not usually in a college student's budget.\n\nHTH :-)

Something you made or assembled yourself (corny, I know, but girls seem to like that stuff).\n\nIdeas: A mixed CD, poetry (it doesn't even have to be good), a framed picture of you together....\n\nIf all other ideas fail you, a red rose, romantic evening plans, and telling her how much she means to you are your best bet.

something homemade maybe.\n\nim thinking for my boyfriend's 18th birthday in a few weeks, im going to give him a cute 5x7 of myself, in a frame, and like have a speech bubble attached that says "i love you!"\n\n/shrugs\n\nas far as actually purchasing something, that depends on his tastes. if you know he lovvves a certain kind of cologne, buy him some. \n\nmaybe even a cd he really wants.. or a shirt you think he'd like.

Take her out for a nice dinner and maybe even a movie so she will not be alone on her birthday.  Since she is only a friend, I would try and give her something on a small scale.  Maybe a framed photo of the two of you, a nice journal or a DVD that has special meaning to the two of you (something that you went together to see).  I think the key is to get her out and have fun together!

Buy something of reasonable value for your budget, don't make it too lovey dovey, or too practical, a nice, necklace or pair of earrings, a gift certificate to her favorite store or for a manicure/pedicure or massage, maybe a nice dinner somewhere, mostly it is the fact that she will know you have thought about her enough to put forth the effort.

If you are in a place where the weather is nice, go on a picnic, take a hike, etc.  Get her a heart-shaped box of chocolates (cliche), and something else more specific to her desires, such as a CD from her favorite band, some new clothes, etc.  If you aren't on a budget, jewelry is always really nice as well.

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.
