Sweet 16 Birthday Present
Hi, I'm looking to get a sweet 16 birthday present for my cousin (no To Catch A Predator). Which do you think would be better?
(A) a small black Coach purse
http://www.coach.com/content/product...ategory_id=502
(B) a Tiffany & Co. bracelet
http://www.tiffany.com/Shopping/item...c+-r+157+111-x
Both are the same price (~ $200)
All opinions are greatly appreciated. Any other suggestions are also welcome. If you choose (A) or (B), please state why.
Reps rewarded.

I would hate spending money on either one because I hate that materialistic stuff, haha. Anyways if I had to choose between both I would have to say the purse. Its way more practical and would be much more useful then a bracelet...

I agree... but do you have any other suggestions? I just thought that's what most 16 year olds would want at that age.Originally Posted by Fluids

A bracelet can be worn with anything, given that it's a neutral color, and I think it would last longer than a purse.Originally Posted by HeartBraykKid

Meh, I say get her some Juicy, but that's just my opinion.
If you're picking out of those two, go with Tiffs.
My reasoning: Coach bags are ugly.

Heartbraykkid, it would be a lot easier to decide if you posted pictures of what you're considering.
We may even present you with better options.

Leather insides? Get him some nice leather cleaner...the car wash idea was good too! Or maybe just a gift certificate to an auto shop he really likes! (O'Reilly's, Autozone, etc)Originally Posted by SecondsOut

Good point!Originally Posted by arobot
Option (A) http://www.coach.com/content/product...ategory_id=502
Option (B) http://www.tiffany.com/Shopping/item...c+-r+157+111-x
^ Option B is about $30 cheaper, but if I get the bracelet I'd get her name engraved which is about an additional $30 so they equal out to be the same.
Discuss.

I don't mean to be a twit, but that bracelet is so 5 years ago.
Mind if I find a piece of jewelry for 200 dollars or less as a suggestion?

See, I'd prefer something like this

But, you have to realize, I'm not your cousin and I don't know what she likes. Unfortunately, girls don't have some universal preference over gifts.

That is very nice. You might also look at what Things Remembered might have, they've got several lovely items to choose from. Also along the same lines of what Aro posted.Originally Posted by arobot

That is nice but it's a necklace... I was looking for something more along the lines of a bracelet. Also, brrthnb4, I plan on getting the bracelet engraved at Things RememberedOriginally Posted by arobot

I'm sorry, I can't let you get the bracelet! They were so popular when I was in 8th grade and nobody has worn them since.
I'll find a bracelet, gimme a sec!

most of the bracelets in the bottom two rows are cute! But, only a couple fit the price range.
