answer:Depends on what your friend is like. Are there any cool t-shirt places near you, or perhaps a second hand clothing store that sells interesting t-shirts? My daughters (and their friends) like any kind of dinosaur, sharks, or math oriented t-shirts, kind of along the lines of these. Walmart has some pretty fun ones that you don’t seem to see on everyone. Is there a gift shop that sells craft items made by third world countries? Perhaps woven purses are fun to have. I-Tunes gift cards are always good.
