  Trying to find just the right birthday gift for a girl can be a bit of a challenge; however, keep in mind that all girls love to be in style. Whether on television, in a magazine or in school, girls want to fit in and sport the latest trends. Birthdays are a wonderful time to give those trendy, fashionable gifts and make you the best gift-giver of all.
  
  

Clothing

• Although it can be a rather daunting task, finding the perfect item of clothing is a great gift idea for girls of all ages. From casual hoodies to sparkly dresses, the possibilities are endless. Observe the latest fashion trends in her area or in magazines. No young lady will turn down a popular brand name. Pay close attention to her wardrobe for a favorite color or style and try to get something that will complement an existing item of clothing in her closet. If you come up empty-handed while shopping, a gift card to a trendy boutique is always a hit.
  
  

Accessories

• Every girl loves to accessorize from head to toe. Stylish headbands and hair clips are easy to find in just about any store you visit. Beaded necklaces or chains with charms are another hit, as are large dangling earrings and bold bangle bracelets. Brightly colored scarves are popular with many young women, and even leg warmers are making quite a comeback.
  
  

Perfumes and Lotions

• Finding a beautiful fragrance in a colorful or fun-shaped bottle makes a perfect gift anytime. If you know the young lady's favorite brand, you can buy a gift set which may include perfume, body lotion or cream, and powder. If you are not sure of the young lady's favorite fragrance, shop for a soft, subtle scent that is not overpowering and would complement any other fragrance she may already wear. Fruity lotions or earthy-toned perfumes are popular.
