    Ooh - what about bath/body stuff from Lush? The bath bombs are fun. They do nice gift sets.

    How about this t-shirt to go along with something else? It would be cute for a gymnast.

    I know you said no gift cards, but how about gift card to the movies and treats to go with it? Then she can go with friends and you can give her a gift along with the gift card.

She has lots of coordinating luggage already, like a lot of pieces , they travel a lot.
    In that case, I would donate to a charity in her name. Seriously, if this girl has everything you describe, it would be GOOD for her to think about less fortunate people. Maybe she and her family already do. Lots of people with disposable income give to charities, but I still think it would be a good gift. My choice would be Camfed.org (Campaign for Female Education). They support school girls in Africa where parents have to have money to send their kids to school.

    My dd is that age. This light is something she is excited about: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009US...ZQL&ref=plSrch. We saw it at a museum gift shop. We are also taking her to a glass blowing studio to make her own Christmas ornament. She also wants Animal Jam and Roblox gift cards (computer games).

    I'm excited to give my daughter a Snap Pet - it's like a little selfie tool. I got it from Target. http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/1324...ra-of-them-all

    I hear girls really like hair accessories from Lululemon and Ivivva.

    I got the PB Teen catalog and everthing was so cute! I know you said no decor or luggage, but they had a bunch of slippers and robes that were cute too.

    Would books work? Maybe the Lunar Chroincles by Marissa Meyer. Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, Fairest, and Winter complete the set, and Winter just came out.

    Seventeen or Teen Magazine (I actually don't think the latter exists anymore, but there is Teen Vogue), however I am not sure if they are still appropriate for a 12 yr. old. I read them in the late 80s/late 90s. Maybe some Ugg type boots, a gift card for clothes shopping or books. If she already has a kindle maybe an Amazon gift card.

    Stone Soup is a creative writing magazine. It sounds cool, but honestly I don't know if I would give it as a gift unless I knew the kid was really into writing or reading.

    Anne of Green Gables book set.

    My kids absolutely love this blanket:

    We initially got one as a Xmas gift from my sister and one of daughters took it to her room so I bought a second one for our couch and the other daughter took it to her room. I need to get another now for the couch. It isn't fancy but it gets serious love in our house.

    I thought of something else my 12yo dd asks for and uses--Stationery. She loves the personalized notecards my mom gets her every year. my mom found some on Etsy, but there are a million out there. some cute cards in the Current catalog. My dd would also like notepads with her name or initials; she is always making lists and writing in notebooks.

    ETA: here is the site my mom uses (not etsy). you can search and find a gymnast, or lots of other cute designs

    These blankets are really nice and very warm. DD's friend has one and always brings it to football games, sleepovers.
