is it worth the expense and will it help her with her future career?

It is definitely worth the expense! Not sure if you are referring to my granddaughter's future career or someone else's. She is only eleven so it is not clear what her future career will be at the moment, although she does have aspirations to be a fashion designer. She could not put it down after she opened it. It contains everything needed to design lovely wedding or evening dresses. Bare in mind that the fabric, while gossamer or satin, does not hang exactly as it would on a life size mannequin she made some lovely creations... and still does. For an older person such as a teen, a book on how to design fashion might be more appropriate. It is definitely worth the expense!

I bought this as a gift for a 10 year-old great niece who seemed thrilled to get it. She is artistic and interested in fashion. This set provided everything she needed to begin experimenting with color, texture and line. My own daughter did the same thing without a kit using fabric scraps, ribbons, etc. on her Barbie dolls. It makes a nice gift to nudge a kid in the direction of fashion design, but a kid who's already interested can create things out of what's available in most homes.

It depends. How dedicated is she to photography? $1,000 for a once in a while hobby is a bit much. If she plans on taking more photography classes or doing more with what she learned and really getting into it, then YES this is a great buy, but if it's all going to spend months in the closet and only be used on Thanksgiving and Christmas then NO. Buy her a point and shoot. You can get a good one for about $500, or get her a less expensive SLR. It all depends on her. Hope this helped.

It depends on what you need. I need financial functions as well as scientific functions, so for me it is perfect. If you only need financials, it is definitely overkill.

no. the teaching is very clear and easy to follow. I hope that you will enjoy as much as my mum does...she's in her 70's....so its NOT demanding.

It's not cheap but it is worth it. Above all, it forces your stuff into the correct formats. Apparently Hollywood is very picky about their formats and this will do it for you. It has some very fancy bells and whistles, but I bet anything you won't use much of it. But the format thing, yeah, that will really help you no matter how talented you are.

Try an ipod touch. As crazy as it sounds there is a ton of educational aps that you can get for the device that are majority free are cost only 99 cents. There is a website called utech tips just google it with educational aps and it will list at least 50 aps free to 4.99. It even catagorizes them for you. If you think about it you are shelling out the same amount as much buying a comparable gaming system. Plus she gets the ability to store music, pictures, and movies as well. Hope this helps

It's worth the cost if you actually use it everyday and commit to stretching. I made progress then became less committed and started back again. I have a friend that uses it daily and he is extremely flexible. He was already more flexible than me, but he pushes himself and actually does use it.

I would say probably yes. Its more for the range of 4 to 6 years of age. She might get bored with it if she doesn't form a security bond with it.

Hey Noman, no matter what you will enjoy the product offered now. It will be worth it, and to answer your question...yes.

You could use it. I'm not sure you would gain from the additional features. Whether you would benefit from moving up would depend on why you are looking at changing, what additional functions you are trying to access.

My daughter just had to have this a year ago. I have seen her play with it maybe a handful if times even using the Furby app and it collected dust. We donated it this year. It may hold your child's attention but in my opinion I would say No, it isn't worth it.

I think it will be fine. But honestly. I didn't think this was worth the money. Go grap a premie set of diapers and get a cute bag

Yes but of course everything is about money. Geek squad is the way to go but it will cost you.

it depends really on how capable she is. Some at that age are more "hands on" than others. If she's "into" arts and crafts and such, she'll be fine with it (you might have to help with the pinning if necessary) its really a lovely gift, surprised me with the quality of the contents. Even inspired me to try to find an actual beginner sewing machine for my then 10-yr old grand.

I think so. Make sure you have a friend and lots of time. Not an easy task but worth it in the end.

@Maria, it would help the glass to maintain it's place for the most part. I would say she is safe as long as she is somewhat careful with it. I'm actually in the cellular industry and this is often used as a option until your next upgrade. I hope this helps. Go for it

Hi Thomas... In my opinion, it is definitely worth the investment. You can go cheaper, but there will always be that nagging concern about it falling apart at the most inopportune moment. One never regrets investing in quality.
