Looking for gift advice 7yo girl - no spam please

We are going shopping today for a friend of ours who is turning 7 and really could use some gift suggestions. She's definitely into "older" girl things whereas my kids aren't really so we're having a hard time deciding what to get her. The party is tomorrow so have to get something today.

Thanks All!

I give gift cards a lot.
For movies (Blockbuster or theater).

A lot of little girls we know like the jewelry store, Claire's.
We are giving some gift cards to that store for the holidays.

Jewelry
Those purses with a monogram
Bath stuff (Bath and Body sells stuff for younger girls)

I bought my little sis and my neice (both just turned 8) the cats cradle and chinese jump rope books. I remember playing those games as a girl and thought they'd love to learn too.

Here's a link:

and

What about a magic tricks set?

polly pocket is a definite hit with my just turned 8 YO. also, art kits, jewelry kits, things like that. the "favorite" thing her friend gave her was a bratz doll art set with a fuzzy poster in it she really liked coloring it.
