Gift Ideas? or the difficulties of being a family black sheep.

[pinksonia]

Does anybody know what the fashionable, college-aged girls are enjoying now?  Wow, do I sound like an old woman there, but I need to figure out a present to get for my cousin.  Geek culture I can do, and do well, but gifts for normals I have no idea. 

From what I can tell she likes to drink and exercise.  I'm not sure I want to touch the drinking after this conversation at thanksgiving between her and a neighbor and friend of her parents.

Neighbor: (after various parts of a conversation I don't really remember) I enjoy Stella.
Cousin: I've gotten over Stella.  It's like the Budweiser of Europe, and after spending three months there this summer, I can't take it seriously any longer.  (emphasis hers)
Me: *massive eye roll*

My favorite part is, that judging by the neighborhood her parents live in and the kind of friends they keep, I would bet the man she was talking to has spent significantly more time in Europe than three months.  That and I have a hard time imagining being that rude to a friend of my parents.

Those linen scarfs. If you do a search for skinny scarf or linen scarf youll see what I mean. You can get them for cheap too.

Oh, that could work. Thanks for the suggestion!
