Birthday presents for an anime-loving 14 year old?
Mary Kate
My bestie's birthday party is on Friday and i still haven't found a present for her. I really don't know much of anything about anime and all i could think of last year was a tee shirt with a blue haired girl on it ( i don't remember her name) and this year i want to get her something anime-related she would love. I know her favorite whatever u call it is Homestuck. She loooves Homestuck. She loves the book or tv show or whatever Deathnote is too. She does that cosplaying thing too so i was thinking maybe a wig because that's like her favorite thing in the world. She's cosplayed as i think Rin and someone named Dave. She has way too many posters, so any other ideas?
btw sry i'm saying thing and whatever a lot i'm really not familiar with this anime stuff xD
Answer
There are two convenient sites that sell a bunch of Homestuck-related things, so you might want to go through those:

http://www.whatpumpkin.com
I'm not sure that they'll be able to ship things in time for you to receive them on Friday (I think you'd be more likely to receive your items sooner if you live on the East Coast), but if your friend isn't the type to get mad if you don't have the main part of the present by the time her party starts, then that's an option. You say she's cosplayed as Dave, so I'm going to assume that's one of her favorite characters...try going to the part of the Whatpumpkin site that sells clothes and checking out the "god tier hoodies". Do you know if she already owns the red one, with the slightly-lighter-red gear on it? That's a Dave-related hoodie, and it's really comfortable, and since the weather's getting cooler anyway, it might come in handy. Also, since the hoodie's pretty roomy, you don't have to know her exact size - for a 14-year-old the size S should probably fit, maybe a size M if she's on the larger side. (I bought that same hoodie in size S when I was 16 and it was a little roomy, so...that's how it's designed.)
Of course, if she already has that hoodie, then you could try gifting her one of the other ones (an idea: try buying her the blue one with the Breath symbol on it. The two characters Dave is often shipped with, John and Tavros, both wear that symbol, so it might be a reasonable guess that she likes one or both of those characters...I can't know for sure, though, since I don't know your friend. It might be safer to just buy her one of the god tier hoodies in her favorite color, if you know what her favorite color is). You know, when you bought her that T-shirt, how often did she wear it? Some people are a little more likely to wear blatantly "fandom-related" T-shirts than others, I think, so if she really liked that anime girl T-shirt you might be able to get her something a little less subtle. In which case, there are some Death Note t-shirts floating around, like the ones here:
http://www.redbubble.com/shop/death+note+t-shirts
If you don't want to get her a shirt for her birthday two years in a row, then...does she already own the Homestuck books (found on the Topatoco website)? You can buy her those. The books have a bunch of author's commentary that can't be found anywhere else, so they're pretty valuable, I think.
Now, if you don't want to worry about buying something online and then not having it come in in time for the party...or if you'd rather not spend that much money, then...
How good are you with arts and crafts? If you can find access to some foam boards, red spray paint, two records (what's on the records doesn't matter, as long as they're the old-fashioned vinyl type; if you have any record stores nearby, you can go any buy the cheapest they have, which will probably be really cheap), and some clear string, then you can make these:

These would really add some "oomph" to your friend's Dave cosplay, if she wants to cosplay him again sometime. Also I think they're just pretty neat looking in general. If she's planning to go trick-or-treating this Halloween, she can show them off then.
If you're better at sewing then at crafts stuff, then you can make one of these:

Or these (note, these would be harder to make, I think, but they'd also look cooler, so there's that):

You could customize it by color, too, and make it look something like your friend's favorite character by adding accessories. Like, make it in red and give it a pair of mini-sunglasses so it looks like Dave Strider, or something like that.
If all else fails, then...take the opportunity to introduce her to a new manga series for her birthday. Go to your local bookstore, find the manga section, and then flip through whatever they have available, looking up reviews on each series that looks interesting on your phone if possible...and then buy whatever looks the most interesting and has the best reviews online. If she likes Death Note, then I think the safest bet would be to buy her the first volume of a manga series with a male protagonist on the front and a darker color scheme for the cover. Make sure you buy her the first volume of something, not any of the later volumes - if you buy her a later volume she won't really be able to read it until she finds the volumes that came before it.
Also, by the way - Homestuck isn't an anime. People sometimes say that it's an anime, but they're joking, it's actually an American webcomic. I thought you might want to know that in advance so you're not confused when you try to go to a store that sells anime merchandise and you can't find anything Homestuck-related. Death Note IS an anime, though (and a manga, and a series of live-action movies...although we don't really talk about the live-action movies), and that other character you said she cosplayed, Rin...well, Rin isn't a Homestuck character OR a Death Note character, so it's most likely that you're talking about Rin Kagamine, the Vocaloid character:
http://images.wikia.com/vocaloid/images/0/0a/Kagamine_Rin.jpg
Is that who she cosplayed? If so, Vocaloid merchandise is also on the table. If that's not who she cosplayed, I really don't know which Rin you're talking about (there are a lot of characters named Rin out there).
