I work at a sleepaway camp during the summer since I never felt like doing any real work during the summer and found retail work to be boring but unfortunately the camp I ended up at isn't doing very well.
There's a collection of like 20 or 30 older kids whose parents force them to go, but mostly just little kids.
The directors there seem constantly favoring the little kids. I guess they think that's where the profit lies. Not sure. So I wanted to give my older kids a present for continuing to behave even though its horribly boring for them.
And I cant think of a good present for the girls.
The boys seem to be poorer so the natural gift of video games/systems fits them, but girls already tend to have everything to want, since all they want normally is a phone ipad or laptop and they already have those things.
I was thinking of getting the girls some jewelry like rings, etc. but wasn't sure how much money it would take to get a really amazing ring. I don't want to give them something that looks like crap, but I can't spend $10,000 per kid either.
Anyone have any ideas as to great ring models or any other gifts I could give them that they would like?
Why would you not get videogames for the young girls?
I can tell you when I was like...12-14, I mostly wanted videogames. Occasionally beads that I could sew into jewlery pendants...but really I almost exclusively wanted videogames.

The girls are only casual gamers and already have the Wii.
As for the pendants, do you mean something like these?:
You don't even know these kids, is this even acceptable. If my kid came home from camp with a new video game that the counselor gave them I'd have something to say to whoever runs that camp.
"3ds_exclusive posted... What does age have to do with deserving a nice gift?
Think you're missing the point of that post bro"
And what was the point of the post then?
Also, why can't you just answer my question?, instead of just going off on your own tangent.
"You don't even know these kids, is this even acceptable. If my kid came home from camp with a new video game that the counselor gave them I'd have something to say to whoever runs that camp."
Who said I don't know them?
I've worked with them for 3 summers already.
They have us sign something at setup that has us pledge that we understand all the aforementioned rules and it says nothing about giving gifts as being banned, so it has to be acceptable then.

There's probably one whose father and sister were killed in a boating accident several years ago so his aunt, who already has a son, took the child in and raised him as her own daughter. I'd get this one an axe.
Yeah, having never pierced my ears myself, I would definitely not go that route.
And seriously, I'd be kind-of pissed if the boys got videogames and I got some jewlery that didn't interest me. I'd advise you to give similar gifts; like maybe give books to both genders.
The girls are only casual gamers and already have the Wii.
So if you know they have a Wii, why not get them a Wii game?

If they're more casual, you might do better with something like Trauma Center--a Wii game that casual women I've known tend to really like, but that most of the girls in question likely won't own.

Imagine you're trying to convince a skeptic that hardcore games don't need to be such a boy's club, and might actually be awesome. Is this the first thing you'd want them to see? Barely clothed women and fully armored men wielding big phallic weapons?
I mean, if you were setting curriculum for them and they needed to play the game to pass the test, then sure, they'd probably get far enough in to appreciate it. But that's not what's happening here.
