Holiday 2011 Gift Guide: Your Teen/Tween Sister

Her iPhone never leaves her hand, she always posts the latest memes on your Facebook wall, and someday she'll run her own Internet start-up. Here are tech-savvy gifts for the teen or tween girl in your life.

Holiday 2011 Gift Guide: Your Plugged-In Sister

Top row:
Give her this retro headset, just like what you used to gab on as a teen...minus the iPhone, of course. Pop Phone Handset, $35

Derek Blasberg's tongue-in-cheek book is actually a smart guide to etiquette for the modern girl. Classy, $17

More empowering than buying a new scarf? Learning how to knit one! (And, hey, maybe she can start an Etsy business one day...)  Wool and the Gang wool scarf, $95

Middle row:
Overdoing it on eye makeup is a rite of teenage passage; this kit should give her plenty to work with. tokidoki 24 Karat Skate Deck Eyeshadow Palette, $39

USB hubs tend to be dork-oriented (not that there's anything wrong with that), but this one is fit for a tech goddess.  Aphrodite USB Hub, $46

With a stack of these bracelets, she'll look like she's in the band, not with it.  Guitar string bracelets, $10

Bottom row:
She might not yet be ready for Proenza or Wang, but this tee lets her dip her toes into the high-fashion waters.  Rodarte blue t shirt, $155


Because she spends more time on her hair than anyone else you know, she'll easily master this new clip-free curling iron set. Amika Clip-Free Curler with Travel Set at HSN.com, $115

She was born this way...to love Lady Gaga, that is. Listening to "Edge of Glory" will sound that much sweeter on Gaga-endorsed headphones. Black Heartbeats by Lady Gaga High Performance Headphones, $150

Holiday 2010 Gift Guide: your tech-savvy little sister

She tweets, she texts, she plays Angry Birds...and you'll pry her iPhone from her cold, dead hands. Here are gifts for your technology-addled little sister (or niece or cousin...)
