Gift fo 7 year old girl.. in an unusual situation?

So, I'm visiting some family in the DC area this weekend.

Among them, I am going to my cousin's new apartment, which he has moved into within the last month, since his wife decided to end the marriage. (they'd been struggling for a year, so not a huge shock, but still, he didn't take the end well).

They have a seven year old daughter, whom I don't know very well.  She has her own room at his apartment, and will be there a weeknight and every other weekend. 

I'd like to bring her a small gift, something for her to keep or use at the "new" place. 

She's not into dolls.  She likes books, but has a ton -- I wouldn't know where to start to get her something.She's extremely bright, and kind of "adult" in her thinking and world view, if that makes sense.

She's a girly girl, for sure.

Any ideas?  I'm at a loss.

Thanks!

  • You could give her a trip to your internet friend's house 40 minutes south of DC with you?

    Just kidding. I will have to think. Are you thinking something for her room? Like decoration wise...?

  • Ditto Summer something for the room might be best. Could you ask your brother what she may need still to be totally comfortable? You can get something decorative also.

  • She might like a nice Monet print or something. I'm at a loss with 7 year olds, especially ones that have more adult thinking.

  • What about Book ends for all her books? Or a cute lamp for her bed side to read at night. or even a cute cd player that is small.

  • Does she like to draw or do any sort of craft?  Some type of set like that might be an idea if she's into something like that.
