Cash.
For an 11-yo I would say $20 should cover it.

One of those little MP3 players. Then for her next birthday you can chip in to buy her hearing aids.

Does she have a .22 rifle? Every little girl ought to have her own .22!

Don't walk naked in the backyard.
Don't kill her with your car while drunk.
How's that, Harry?

A gift card is always appreciated!
Cash is good, but the gift card shows that you actually put some thought into the gift rather than as an afterthought. :-D
Most malls sell SIMON gift cards (has a VISA logo on it). You can use those cards just about anywhere since it's treated like a pre-paid credit card.

Books are always good....Your local book store might have a suggestion....Or a gift card to the book store would work too.

I've got a 13-yr-old and the gifts he likes the best are 1) cash and 2) gift certificates for places like Best Buy and Wal-Mart where he can put the money towards music cds, movies, video games, etc.

I just got back from walking my dog. There were a pacel of little girls out playing in the hose at a house nearby. My, that looked good. It's been about 100 years since I did that. I wanted to join them. I was just yesterday thinking about taking my dog outside and hosing him off. I should do that. I probably will. It's that time of year.

An 11-year-old girl is in that "too old for toys, too young for boys" stage. I'd get her something a little grown up like a pretty bracelet or a gift cert to the mall. I think it's nice that you ask. Good luck!

My niece is 11 and she loves to get gift cards for stores like Gap Kids or Limited Two. You might also get her a gift card at some place like Best Buy where she could pick out a CD or DVD she wants.

A pair of binoculars and a small book on stargazing and astronomy in general. You might awaken an interest in science. If you shop around you might be able to do it for $20 or $30. Don't bother with those skinny little refracting telescopes on the flimsy mounts. They have turned off more kids than turned on. Binoculars of 40mm objective or 50mm if you can swing it are more than adequate. The magnification is usually in the 8x-10x range and that is perfect for most casual astronomy.

How about a magic trick set? Or a board game or book you liked when you were 11.

Stuck as the proverbial bug in the rug. She won't respect you if she hears you mixing your metaphors like that.

Just be grateful that her wish list doesn't include getting her ears and/or navel pierced...and think that in a few more years...you can teach her how to drive...
