    Well when boys start hitting their teen years it gets so hard to buy for them, at least within a budget. Maybe it could be something that you and your daughter could do together by making him a movie basket. Get a cheap basket from the dollar store and fill it with a few microwave bags of popcorn, some bags of candy and some 20 oz. bottles of soda. This should be fairly inexpensive and you could even make it a little more special by spending over your limit a bit and put a DVD in it. This would be a little more personal and would teach your daughter that gifts should have some thought and heart put into them. Instead of buying a basket to put everything in you could get the white paper lunch bags and color and decorate it so it looks like the old movie theater popcorn bags with the red and white stripes. Another idea is to go to KFC and ask for a clean bucket that they put the chicken in, (they should give you one) and cover it in decorated paper to look like a popcorn bucket, this might be a little more sturdy than the paper bag. Hope this helps and gets your creative juices flowing.

    You shouldnt punish her, he isn't real of course not. My sister told me when I was about 7, I started crying but then it was all fine. Just explain to her how it was mean, and she spoiled the fun. Then tell your son that Santa will still come, and when he is older tell him he's not real. But he is gonna find out at somepoint as in school, when it comes to christmas people will be like 'SANTAS NOT REAL' SO he will get the point, but there is no need to punish her, that will be over the top.

    If he has an ipod, you can get him a gift certificate for that, although you might have to spend $15, as that is the cheapest amount they sell, I think. But he would love that, and the sell them at supermarkets or an iTunes or apple store.

    But if you cannot go over your budget, buy a stocking (the christmas ones, not pantyhose), maybe with his name on it from a dollar store or arts and crafts store, and fill it with candy and soda and chips/popcorn. Not the healthiest thing, but he should appreciate it. Or, although it depends on how well your daughter knows him, you could make him little certificates for a free meal or other things. To get something else, or more personalized, you'd have to spend more money.But good luck.

    If you want a boyfriend so bad, then I highly recommend following this https://bitly.im/aOlZA Since you've never dated or been kissed before, it's going to be hard to get a boyfriend if you don't know what to do but once you know what to do, you'll be able to get a boyfriend pretty easily and can share your dating stories with your friends and experience those feelings yourself. You'll even be able to attract guys you might feel is out of your league. I suggest going on a bunch of dates before choosing one guy to be your boyfriend. Have fun.

    Get a plain t-shirt and write a clever slogan on it with a coloured Sharpie, like "I don't know." then go to wherever you go to buy CDs and pick out a CD by his favourite artist. If you don't know what his favourite band is, your best bets would be either Green Day or some classic rock. Then take the comic section from a newspaper and wrap his gift in that and tape it together with duct tape. Add a PINK ribbon bow thing on it and write his name on the package with another Sharpie.

    HAPPY CHRISTMAS.

    Hmm, what about?

    A bottle of cologne

    A funny movie(Wal Mart has them for $7.50 and under)

    A gift card to like McDonald's...or whatever is in your area.

    Sorry, I really don't know what 13 year old boys like.....that's the best I could come up with. Does she know the boy well enough to know what he may enjoy in the way of hobbies or whatever?

    Gift Cards are defiantly the easiest!

    He probally shops at stores like American Eagle or Hollister.

    Ask your daughter what kind of clothes he wears and go from there.

    If hes athletic get him a ***** Sporting Goods Gift Card. Catch my drift? Happy Holidays!
