Young teens. What are they into?

Looking for ideas for our 13 yo cousin (~$20). I have no idea what to even look for apart from slippers or PJs,but that seems so boring! Help!!!

My brother said his 11 yo daughter and 14yo son are really into their Wii games. They play them with friends all the time. I saw some on amazon yesterday with some competitive prices. He recommended anything with waterskiing, wakeboarding, snowboarding, sno skiing, or anything new on to the market. I asked around at Target which games were new and they pointed me in the direction of a few. maybe those would be good ideas? Magazines for their age?

I'd probably get a giftcard (like for iTunes if they have an iPod) or a Wii game.

Taken directly from my 13 year old niece's list are: games for her DS (in particular Nancy Drew the Hidden Staircase and My Sims Agents) "nicer sweaters," jewelry, pre-wrap (the stuff they put in their hair, a big teen fad right now) and gift cards to iTunes, Aeropostale, Hollister and Target.

I know she wants an iPod Touch more than anything, so we're getting her a gift card to Target so hopefully she'll get enough to pool them and buy it. I'm kind of bummed because I wanted to buy her clothes, but she told me she REALLY wants that iPod.

Here's my 13 year old neices list "Clothes from Aeropostale, Abercrobmie, or Hollister or a gift card to there. Jewelry- cute earrings or necklaces especially with peace signs. Watch with a peace sign on it. Small tweener size purse"

We got her a hoodie and a t-shirt from Aeropostale and an necklace from there as well. I know the T-shirts were $10 and the Hoodies were $20 at our store this past week. Jewelry was on sale as well I think 2/$15
