My friends birthday is coming up and I want to get her a gift. But I have no clue what to get her! She's extremely Tom boy, she wears tshirts and shorts or sweats, no skirts or nice tops. I was thnking of getting her some stuff from 5 below, but so many people are doing that. I really want her to like my present! I really need help! Thanks so much!

Hey girl,

I would get her something that reminds her of your friendship, maybe a funny gift that makes her think of a joke you shared? You could also ask if she wants any DVDs or CDs because that is a classic gift! It really is the thought that counts, though, and I'm sure she'll appreciate whatever you give her Smile

I'm going shopping for winter clothes this weekend, I have a few sweaters and a two pairs of dark skinnies. What are some more winter essentials I should get?(clothes and wearable trends) Thanks!

Hey girl,

That sounds like a great start! Depending on where you live, I might also invest in a stylish winter coat to keep you warm when it gets cold! Check out our fashion section for more inspiration and ideas: http://www.girlslife.com/category/fashion.aspx
