    If she's into clothes, and baseball, I say get her a baseball shirt of her favorite player / team.

    That is a good idea. I see little girls everywhere playing that thing.

    "What are you looking at little girls for? :tongue2:"

    OK, I made the joke before anyone else could so don't try it. :angry:

    And that is the thing, she isn't 4...she tells me that all of the time...

    I was thinking about one of those small music players like a Sanza, but she doesn't listen to music very often....

    I got this for my 8 year old niece and she absolutely loves it.
    http://www.amazon.com/Disney-Mix-Max-Player-Musical/dp/B000KOUD3A

    She loves "High School Musical" and this allows her to have the movie, music, and pictures. It's like a kid's ipod video. She's also a Hannah Montana freak, so I assume anything with that name on it she would like too.

    my daughter's 8 and, HSM and HM are both solid choices, but they will be getting tons of that stuff i am sure.

    and she did get a big kick out of getting a gift card so she could pick something out.

    and although i didn't give her the gift card, it allowed me to give her a little economics lesson too; my daughter thought it was very cool she could buy something for less than the gift card amount ($25) and use it again later. so she learned about saving some money and delaying gratification (somewhat).

    and to top it off, the anticipation of the special trip to Target"s toy section to pick out her present was fun, she talked about it for two days.

    Dude you have it all wrong. You're 19!!! The law will still allow for you to get with underage girls without someone making you "Register" when you move into a new neighborhood...

    Take advantage bro...while you still can

    A gift card would be great.

    He can't he's 19! Thats legally an adult.

    But back to the topic. I like the fav player/team jersey idea. HM and HSM are good choices too, just make sure she doesn't allready have thes stuff first.

    You could get her maybe a Baseball Tee ( not the shirt but the baseball holder) and maybe some of that Hannah Montana stuff or Miley, whichever she goes by. I believe she has her own apparel so you could go after that.

    The baseball tee : [​IMG]

    I'm assuming she's a softball player?
