Presents for 12 year old niece

I'm really stuck with what to buy my 12 year old niece this year, any ideas? Budget is no more than £20, preferably less. She likes Miyazaki, gaming, animals etc. Likes makeup too but already has a lot of the good stuff.

I like this stationery (as does my friend's 12yo dd). Free P&P over £25 (fortunately I live near on of their shops though).

That looks fab, thanks for that link. I hadn't thought of stationery even though I love the stuff!

Ive asked DD1 who will be 12 at Christmas for you and she said, if she likes Japanese art, get her a really nice drawing book. Shes sat sketching herself just now mind you.

An itunes voucher is usually a safe bet too.

sponsor an animal? (not sure of cost but it's on DD's list!)
paper fashions? (klutz stuff in general is good IMO)
clothes (check MandMdirect for bargains? free delivery over £25 at the mo if there's anything else you could get from there)
books?
staedtler fineline pens? my DD loves hers and most of her friends either have them or want them!

My 12 year old DD would like;

Pens, notebooks from Paperchase
Nailpolish
Accessories (scarfs, earmuffs,gloves, bags)
Waterstones voucher
itunes voucher
anything with cute puppies/kittens on!

lockable diary?
Glitterball for her room?
Lipbalm making kit?
necklace?
cool cuddly toy?

Wow, so many great ideas, thanks all! In the past I've been pretty sure of what she'd like but feel a bit lost this year - lots to look at here though so that's great :)

George - my almost 12 year olds list is exactly the same as yours!

I would also add:
a river island hooded scarf
a bag for her mobile
pineapple dance gear

Started buying my now 19 year old niece urban decay make up when she was about 12/13. She loved it. They do nice gift sets, depends if she already has it though. I know this seems boring but she also liked gift vouchers for clothes shops - at the time it was Punkyfish and Jane Norman. She really enjoyed being able to choose something.
