What Do You Get a 13-Year-Old Girl?
Dear Gifty McGifty,
I’d like to get a book for a 13-year-old girl. Something that doesn’t feel like homework. But nothing with vampires. What you got?
Yours Truly,
Ur Friend in the UK
We LOVE special requests here at Gifty Central. What we recommended to our friend, who really did write us, was the following:
Meg Cabot’s Airhead series
How to Raise Your Parents by Sarah O’Leary Burningham
and Ally Carter’s Heist Society, which I think would pair nicely with a DVD of Grace Kelly in “To Catch a Thief.” You could even throw in a sparkly necklace from J.Crew to round out the retro-glam, cat burglar theme.
Huge thanks to Gifty McGifty who I absolutely knew would have the answer! Thanks so much. By the way, I thought you’d like to know I spotted the ‘healthy snack’ box range you featured the other day, over here in London in Fenwicks Department Store. Brought a smile to my face as well as a couple of purchases. With love from the UK!
Thank you L, happy Christmas!
