Hi I am really struggling wiht ideas for my biggest daughter and wondered if anyone had any bright ideas?
She is just 10 and doesn't have any particular wishes, I guess she would quite like a ds but is not desperatley bothered and I feel it's a lot of money to spend on something she doesn't want that much. She loves outside type stuff and swaps between playing wiht playmobil and applying lip gloss! I guess I'm finding it a tricky age I don't want to buy grown up things but equally she is past a lot of toys. Somebody suggested a bop it?? Any thoughts

My -almost- 10 year year old has a birthday 5 days before Christmas so it's double ideas time! Luckily she has done a list, and it may inspire you.

Build a Bear-Character with a few accessories
Hamster-with cage
Fun alarm clock
School bag from Holister(!-not at £50)
Stationary for school

Quite varied I thought.Having a December birthday tends to mean she gets less out-doorsey stuff, although last years pressie was a trampolene.
We have a bop-it and it does get used a lot-mostly by my 11 year old son.
Happy hunting

HSM, Hannah rutting -- not -- NOW that would be funny Montana, Camp Rock, "GIRL things" declares 10yo DS.

So no Lego Star Wars, water pistols and the entire contents of Firebox catalog, then. .

Funnily enough the hamster and cage had been mentioned but I had tried to ignore it as I didn't want one !! However I am thinking maybe that is a bit mean of me hmmm back to the drawing board....

DD2 had a Bop It at around that age and still plays with it sometimes now she's 12.
A Rubik's Cube?
Etch A Sketch?
Books?
Pogo stick?
