Little sisters birthday!@

So its my listtle sisters birthday on 4/20, however my mom is celebrating her party tommarow. I was thinking about going, but probably not because of how tired I am and how much homework i have. Once my mom called and tried to guit trip me, now im really not going.
......however Im still gonna celebrate a party with just her and me. Do you guys think its a good idea to tell a child a summed up story of Buddha and give her a Buddha necklace? Obviously this isnt something a 11 yr old would really be glad to have, but it might be something that means allot later on.
Thoughts?

I think it's a great idea, but the chill aspect of it would most likely be lost on her

What do you mean by that?
our mom is kinda a opiate addict, on a shit load of anti bipolar medication, and drinks regularly......And her dad (who i grew up with and was my step father-), is a really big asshole who is hell bent with strict policies and has a big temper.
She's really into video games and Twilight right now, however someday soon, when she turns into a rebellious teenager, I hope its something that pops in the back of her mind and helps lead her to reject the craziness of our parents. I already bought her a huge ass peace sign poster for her room a while ago Kinda hoping to plant some subconscious messages here

Hi Tea,
I taught 6th grade for a few years, and the thing my students loved reading the most was Siddhartha, which is the story of the Buddha. It's a beautiful and easy read, and if your sister likes books, she will very much enjoy this. I would suggest getting her the necklace and the book.
Happy Birthday to your sis!

I dunno, maybe my cousins are just lame - but the whole thing would go over their head, they'd get antsy during the story, and want to go watch Hannah Montana or some garbage.

That sounds like a good idea to be honest.
It sure as hell wouldn't have worked on me though, a necklace, maybe it's cause I'm a guy but I wouldn't really care about budha . That's just me though.

Thats the thing. Im not expecting her to act all interested. And the Hanna Montana comment is probably the reaction I might get. Its mostly something thats supposed to be symbolic and hopefully pop back into her mind as a teen.

Tough question eh?
I'd get her a PS3 and a couple games. I'd also get her a tv and a hdmi cable 
, that's what I got my sister for her birthday last year. She was happy as hell and shes 24 :

buddha stuff for sure.
keep it a summed down version of buddha because a kid at 11 doesnt want to be lectured, especially by an older brother.
short and sweet, but with a point 
sounds like a great gift.

Damn.
I'd give her the buddha necklace then and maybe she'll understand the sentimental value of it when shes a bit older. Have a chat with her. It's nice to havre a good relationship with you're sister.
