My dh and I were invited to a birthday party for a girl at church who is turning 18. I know her grandma a little more than her. I don't really know her that well so am at a loss as what to get her. She was in a youth group that my dh had worked with in the past but all he tells me is that she likes to sing and wants to be a worship leader, and likes to do graphics for a newspaper. I also know she likes sports (track) from some pictures that she has given to others at church in the past. Any thoughts on gifts for her?

If you have a Christian book/music store near by what about a gift certificate for there? Or a department store geared towards teens like Deb's?

Thanks for the suggestions everybody. We don't have anything like Deb's here and Big 5 closed, along with lots of other mall stores. The gift card for the Christian book store was a good idea but I didn't get a chance to get out that way, so ended up going to Kohl's and got a bath set with lotion, shower gel and body spray that looked like it was for a teen. The party was this past Friday but it was a dinner outside in the evening and it got so cold that a lot of people left early, including us and it didn't look like she was planning to open her gifts because they were taken inside the house during the dinner.
