It is always nice to have the right gift for someone. When you are going to be spending a lot on money on one gift it is even more important to make sure it is something that they will love. It can be hard to know what to get some one who has moved from being a little girl but is not quite an adult yet. To make things easer I have made a list of Christmas 2007 gift ideas under $100.00 for teen girls.

The kit includes seventeen different cosmetics base substances to make personalized makeup, lip gloss, body lotion, face cream and shower gel. Current price $54.95 at http://www.discoverthis.com/ and $54.99 at http://www.target.com/.

They also have a great selection of Italian sterling silver chains and sterling silver pendants. You can mix and match to get the right gift combination and still be under $100.
4) Some times it is a good idea to look at one-of-a-kind handcrafted jewelry. You can find some unique and stunning pieces under $100. On-line stores are a great way to find one-of-a kind designed jewelry that you would not find in a large chain. Here are some very different sites you may wish to look at: http://www.medievalmagic.ca/, http://www.pureartisan.com/, http://www.tailoredtreasure.com/, http://www.leahjewelry.com/, http://www.dndesignsonline.com/, http://www.kellymeekerdesigns.com/, http://www.clunygreyjewelry.com/, http://www.designjewel.com/, http://www.thesejewelsrock.com/. There are millions of other sites that are just as interesting. Just take the time to look around the Internet to see what you can find.
Name brand clothing, shoes and accessories are all great gifts and can often be found under $100.00. This is perfect if the teen girl has been asking for some thing specific and you know exactly what to buy. The only problems with buying clothing is that it usually does not get the “Oh my God this is the best gift ever” reaction and because fashion and fads change so fast, that piece of clothing she had to have when you bought it, a few weeks before, ends up in the closet because it is not in fashion any more. It is better to give her a gift certificate, or better yet a pre paid credit card she can use to buy what she wants now.
