I have to buy a gift for my cousin's birthday.
She's a Twilight fan, like nearly all teenage girl.  She already got all the Twilight DVDs.

So I figured I'd buy her the Vampire Diaries.  Either the books, or the 1st season DVDs.

Wich ones do you think is the best gift?

I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Ask her, ask her parents or just give cash.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Voted the book, but would have voted even more for the His Dark Materials books, if she is of the age that likes Twilight.

Definitely check with the parents. She could well hate Vampire Diaries for being an inferior Twilight rip off (as bizzare as that sounds).

teenage boys.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Voted book over DVD because a book feels like a more permanent & classier item to me. But ask her parents.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

She doesn't know the show, I've asked her already if she was watching the French dubb.


And I can't give money.  Family situation.  Apparently we're forbidden to give money because that's a "boring gift".

True Blood.
her parents are quite liberal, but not that much.

She doesn't do drugs, and she doesn't smoke.  Yet.
She barely drinks either.

Is she from Quebec?  If so just several large kegs of beer.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

If you can't give cash, can you give gift cards?  Maybe iTunes or the local bookstore?
