Year 8 old girl BDay Presents!

[SuperEkstra]

Has anyone had a DD turn 8 (or 9?) recently-ish? I've got lots of little things for DD, but no 'main' present. Her interests are gaming (would rather not go down this route!) and cats! I'm a bit stumped!

My dd was 8 in June. She didnt really want anything other then an ipad, so we ended up getting her one. She also got a perfume making kit, a dream catcher set. Some colouring books, a big set of animal ark books and some hairbands/little bag/jewelry from accesorize.

8th birthday coming up here, we’ve decided to get a tablet which will be a big surprise as we’ve always said no until now. Also a jewellery box and some bits for that. From others a Lego set, books, umbrella, Shopkins and Smiggle bits

[SuperEkstra]

Thanks both. She's already got (and spends too much time) a tablet. Hmm.

Skateboard
Rollerblades
Gravitrax
Lego harry potter
Notebooks (bonus if they lock in some way)
Walkie talkies
Magic tricks
Stickbot
Karaoke machine

What equipment do you need for Just Dance?

Love some of these

Does she like Super Mario (as you mentioned gaming)? Theres a new Mario lego range out.

My recently 9yo DD particularly liked a box set of her favourite books, a controller for her Swith, Minecraft t shirt, Fimo, craft stuff.

You don't need equipment for just dance, though there is the option of wrist bands.

What equipment do you need for Just Dance?

We use a kinnect with it, but you can also use a smart phone.

I think my dds would be just as happy dancing along without the scoring mechanism though.
