Sure, something musical. Like a gift certificate to a record store, or some cd's. Kids like to choose what they like so I'd go with the certificate..!!

I think there's nothing wrong with buying her a present. It's a good point for you from her. Besides, if your relationship with her father goes on to the next level, you don't want any trouble from her. Let her know you are a genuinely good person and try to be on her good side within reason.
She's a teenager so she is probably going to love Bath and Body works or gift cards since teenagers love to go shopping. (Tip: Abercrombie & Fitch is classy but still casual and she won't be able to resist it. Get her a gift card from A&F and a neat little teddy bear you can put together in a little gift bag. It will give her an idea that you are a classy lady and a sweet, thoughtful one at that too)

Hi HSL,
Aww, that is very thoughtful and considerate of you. I think it would be a nice gesture to get his daughter a gift, and you might want to check with her father to see what she likes. Have you met her before? How has she responded to your presence in her father's life? If this is the first time you've met her (or you feel like you don't know her very well), you might want to start with something small -- ask her father what her tastes are! At 15, you could probably get her a bottle of perfume that you feel she would like (or you could ask for suggestions of what is popular among girls her age at the moment), and also a simple card that says "Happy Birthday."
If you and her have gotten along so far (and there haven't been any problems), I think she would be genuinely surprised and touched that you remembered her birthday, and put thought into her gift. Good luck! :)

Yes you must but do not go over the top as it will appear to her that you are trying to buy your way into her life. A CD of her favourite artist, band etc.
A book if she is a reader or even a top up voucher for her mobile phone, I bet she has one. Also send a nice card which is very neutral and no silly soppy words in it.

Whether or not you should buy her a present totally depends on your relationship with her. If you get on with her & she likes you then something like a CD is a "safe" present that she will like, along with a nicely written/thought out card.
Otherwise, if you and her are still rather "new"/uncomforable friendshipwise, then perhaps something less full-on like a card & paying for half of a cake or something would be more approriate.
It really does depend how your relationship with her is, & guage it from there.

Maybe yeah, but nothing big, just something small to show you are interested in being her friend. You don't want to appear to be trying to buy her affections. To be honest I'd ask the fella what might be appropriate, the daughter is stlll quite young and he might not want her having certain CD's or earings or make up or something. That's what I'd do anyway!

Have you met her? If so, then yes yu need to get her something! Do the two of you get along well, if so then maybe the two of you can go get pedicures and have lunch for her b-day! If not that close to her yet, pick her up a gift certificate to her fav store! Or do you know her interests, pick up something that goes along with things she loves to do-if she likes to read, get her a book from her fav author! Music, get her a fav cd!
Good luck!

If it's a real relationship and not just casual dating, and you know the girl, yes it would be appropriate to give her a small gift. I wouldn't spend too much... depending on your finances maybe a couple of good quality nail polishes, or take her for a 'girly' experience at a spa.

Dear HSL
Take her out for the day shopping and to get to know her. It is hard to move in to a house where a girl has been there by her self with her dad. She is going to feel like you moved in to her spot. If you do not make friends with her she will make your life miss able. Remember she will always come first in his life as she has been there with him much longer then you. I know sex is powerful weapon for a women but when it comes down to it if his daughter lives with him she is his Princess. Good luck
