Presents for a 14 year old girl turning 15 for her birthday?

Question

My sister's birthday is coming up, July 27, {I know, I always get presents at the last minute}. I don't know what to get her. She's not into that girly girl stuff, like makeup, or purses. She likes to help the environment. I tried to make her a paper mache globe, but it doesn't work. Whoever comes up with the most ideas, or tells me how to make a paper mache ball, and she likes it, wins the 10 points. Please help!

Answer 1

uhmmmm..

probably for a nature lover give her a book that's inspirational for her to set her eyes on and to be relaxed. Or you can give her drawing materials 'cause as far as i know nature lover are also good artists. For me the best gift is a new phone, especially iphone 3G. But for her refer to the following above.

Answer 2

ipod touch. lol. everyone wants one of those!!

Answer 3

wtf does this have to do with the environment reported

Answer 4

Well to make a paper mache ball, it's easier to paper mache around an actual ball, or a balloon.

I'd really suggest getting her DVDs like An Inconvenient Truth or The 11th Hour. You could even get her both, they're only about 6 dollars each because they're packaged in recycled paper products. I love The 11th Hour, but I'd recommend both.

Or get her a book about global warming with simple ways to help the environment. Some good books are:

365 Ways to Live Green by Diane Gow McDilda

It's Easy Being Green by Crissy Trask

50 Simple Things You Can Do to Save the Earth by John Javna

Wrap her gift in recycled newspaper or a paper shopping bag. Or get her a tote bag (like this: http://www.ae.com/web/browse/product.jsp... that she can use every day or for shopping.

Hope this helps! If all else fails, just get her an iTunes gift card or something :)

Answer 10

Why don't you give her some money... the catch is... get her to donate it to her favorite environmental organization. You could also donate the money directly yourself, many of these organizations will give you are card saying that the money you donated was in your sisters name for her birthday... something cool like that, so you will really be making a difference!

Answer 11

You would have to get your parents help but you could order her something from the http://terrapass.com/  website, they have some really cool stuff like a solar battery/cellphone charger and a mini wind turbine she can put on her bike!!

Answer 12

im not sure cuz i dont mind girly presents lol ill be happy with a puppy but ill give it a shot.  you can plant a tree for her or learn to recycle as a gift to her. or you can collect sea shells that have holes through them ( trust me you can find alot on the beach) put nail polish on them and put a thick string around it and make a necklace/braclet. Or you can do what me and my cousin used to do together, we would collect leaves and put it in an abulm book and write little passages for the leaves. i also use to paint rocks with my sister that was always fun, or garden with her i use to love doing that with my sister

Hope that helps sorry i couldnt be more help

Answer 20

blow up a balloon, put the paper mache all over the balloon (except for where the knot is) and let it dry. when its dry, use a needle and pop the balloon. take the balloon pieces out of the ball (through where the knot used to be)
