gift for 8 year olds

[americnjewl.livejournal.com]

I'm meeting my boyfriend's brother and niece next month and I want to make something for his niece. She's 8 years old I believe (maybe 7) and she's quite spoiled (her mother and stepfather throw half-birthday parties for her, gifts and all), so I'm afraid to BUY something for her, lest it not be good/expensive enough. I *do* make purses too, but I'm unsure as to what material I should even use if I make her a little one...

So, all in all, any suggestions for gifts for a 8 year old girl???
