Well, I'd have to say that movie passes and gift cards from Music stores/book stores is the perfect thing, but if you want to avoid the 'gift card' plain gift...
for a friend's daughter I gave a popcorn bowl filled with free dvd rentals, crystal light packets, water bottles, microwave popcorn, popcorn seasoning, fun candies, nice little blanket for snuggling (Walmart has 'em). I wrapped it in basket cellophane and a big bow. You could let your imagination run wild and include some fun things for 11 yr old girls that they could use on a 'movie night'.
You could give a music lover a basket with cd gift cards and all kinds of fun things girls love (nail polish, bubble bath, etc).
I truly find the gift cards are LOVED by my teenagers 'cause they can pick out the music/books they enjoy. They don't find them impersonal at all. The baskets can be fun to do up, though
