As thoughtful as the gift is she might not be as excited as you are over it. Different types of nail polishes are really big with teens now. A diary is a great gift. A bean bag chair for her room, a bead set to make her own jewelry, and so forth. I raised 4 daughters plus have 3 granddaughters

I do hope she likes and appreciates your gift though. As an adult it is something I would appreciate.
