Those are hip to teens but not what I would want so much for a gift. She loved the fact that it looked like a bubble gum machine! That would be cool if everyone could make PJ bottoms to match. <br /><br />Last year we rented a kareoke machine with 50,000 songs for the weekend of her bday. That was a huge success and all had a great time participating. We even had an adult party the next night and had a blast. <br /><br />She also says making soap is so fun. She did that at a party not to long ago and said it was "cool". They also did facials then had some lady come and put 70 style makeup on and took pictures. That was a hoot!<br /><br />Anyway just some ideas...It will be fun no matter what you decide.

You could find recipes online (or I have a good one if you'd like it). It turns out to be pretty cheap, easy, and it smells sooooooo good (depending on what kind of essential oils you use). <br /><br />My fave it making peppermint lotion...it even makes your feet tingle, it's that good. I made some for Christmas gifts a few years back and got a huge positive response. <br /><br />Whatever you decide, good luck!*https://www.blogger.com/profile/06484208765656281917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1972912984919271871.post-4270404548050728112009-06-02T20:03:16.249-07:002009-06-02T20:03:16.249-07:00Alright, ladies, in defense of the slippers...Lyns...Alright, ladies, in defense of the slippers...Lyns thought they looked cozy, though we would for sure use cuter, more girly colors. They are sewn on, not glued, which helps, but still. We just thought they were cute, and slippers and flip flops are VERY teenage girl these days, all embellished and what-not. <br /><br />Anyway, I love the ideas! Thank you! <br /><br />Oh, and Tara, you must see a picture of the frame Lyns made at YW. It's REALLY cute, and teens would love it. Honest. All our L.A. YW wouldn't lie. :)<br /><br />The spa night sounds fun. We just weren't going to go that route because we did a pedicure night for her last party when she was 13, but maybe the spin of making our own products would be fun. And cheap. <br /><br />Keep 'em coming!Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16015165553390298826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1972912984919271871.post-39810442259671069452009-06-02T18:20:38.464-07:002009-06-02T18:20:38.464-07:00You could also make truffles.

I made little magnets by hot glueing flower heads on little magnets. http://littlebirdiesecrets.blogspot.com/2008/08/framed-magnet-board.html <br /><br />The can also make their own soap by melting some ivory down and then remolding it with some cute molds/shapes. Then they could bag them in cute little baggies and wha-la a make your own party favor! OHHHH and what if you made it a Kitchen Facial Makeover night!!!! Remember we did that in YW years ago?

For girls camp one year we got flip flops from the dollar store and covered the top V part with rhinestones.
