Gift Suggestions?

[gnomi]

lcmlc and Abba are going to a Bat Mitzvah on Monday for a girl they don't know all that well (she's the granddaughter of two of lc/lc's dear friends). And lcmlc is unsure of what to get as a gift. So... I appeal to you, the all-knowing friends list. What is a good gift for a girl of whom all I know is the following:

-- She's 12 years old
-- She attends a pluralistic Jewish day school

So, yeah. What does one get for such a child? Any thoughts and suggestions are appreciated.

Books (or a gift card to a book store)

I second this: a bookstore gift certificate allows her to choose what interests her, but keeps it focused on books rather than the utter broad range that cash allows.

There are very few gifts from my Bat Mitzvah that I actually liked; I appreciated most the freedom to pursue my own tastes and interests.
