Inspiring Books

Give her a copy of books that most inspired you. It can be a book of poetry or a biography of an accomplished leader. Popular teen books are also ideal choices.

Clothing Gift Card

Every young woman wants a new wardrobe for high school. Rather than trying to decide what's hot and what's not in the ever-changing world of teen fashion, purchase a gift card to her favorite clothing store. This will also give her a chance to pick out exactly what she likes so that it's something she wears.
