• What to do: Play video games, give at-home facials and pedicures, eat at “snack bars,” full of waffles, ice cream or pasta with a selection of toppings.

But put away the fan magazines and the telephones. Today’s tech-savvy girls are more likely to be poring over MySpace pages, according to Anna D’Agrosa, editor of The Hot Sheet, produced by youth research firm Zandl Group.

Girls will, however, pack their cell phones — not to call home, but to check text messages.

• Hot themes: Spa night, scrapbooking, monkeys, chocolate, board games, beads. (From “American Girl: Snooze-a-Palooza,” Pleasant Company Publications.)

•  Decadent chocolate snack: Chocolate Pizza Pie

Put 4 cups mini marshmallows, 1/4 cup butter or margarine, and 1 cup chocolate chips in a microwaveable bowl.

Microwave mixture on high for 1 minute. Stir in 6 cups chocolate-flavored crisp rice cereal. Press mixture onto large greased round pizza pan or two small ones. Set aside.

Melt 1 cup white chocolate chips. Use a fork to drizzle white chocolate over “crust,” leaving a small plain edge. Add maraschino cherries for “pepperoni” and diced gummy candies for “onions” and “green peppers.”

• Set the mood: Try Glade PlugIns Scented Oil Light Show, which, with or without the scent, will beam funky, different-colored lights in your room.

• DVDs: Any show and any season of “Gilmore Girls” and the third season of “One Tree Hill,” “Aquamarine,” “Parent Trap” with Lindsay Lohan, “Freaky Friday” without Lindsay Lohan, “The Little Mermaid,” “Stick It,” recommends Lori Majewski, executive editor at Entertainment Weekly.

• What to wear: Dylan’s Candy Bar Candy Toss flannel pajamas, which are covered in colorful retro sweets.

• Some things never change: Girl talk, gossip and uncontrollable laughter are the key components to any sleepover now — just as they were when Mom was young, says D’Agrosa. “When girls get together the No. 1 topic of conversation is boys.”

But girls today are more likely than even a year ago to talk about current events, she says.
