V is turning 16 next month and talking to her tonight on the phone I realized: I don't know what her interests and likes are anymore.

This makes me extremely sad because she's my baby, the one I cut the umbilical cord for (and I'm still reeling that it's been sixteen-frelling-years since that happened!) and I used to know everything that made her happy. Three years brings a lot of changes when it comes to kids.

I asked her to send me links to things she likes so I might get an idea on what to get because what she told me was this: make-up and sparkly things. lol The one she asked for specifically I can't give her. It was a ticket to fly up and visit me.

So anyone have possible inexpensive suggestions for a 16 year old girl?
