i would suggest making the shopping trip grand. go big. make it a day trip, take a train if possible. breakfast, shop, dinner, movie. go to stores in an area your daughter normally would not go.
dont go to the local stores she knows so well. you can do that another time. buy for her, let her pick for you. have some pictures taken of the two of you.
make it a shopping trip she wont soon forget.
and do not, under any circumstances, take w with you.
this is your gift, your idea. make the day last as long as possible.
