Dd turns 11 in Jan and I find this age so difficult to buy for.
Didn’t really have a wow present at Xmas so any ideas for her birthday please ? Tia

Wow loads of ideas here thankyou.
She shares a room with her older sister so things like speakers etc she already has.

She loves horse riding but got lots of things she needs for that at Xmas.

She already has a camera / phone etc.

Love the look of the extraordinaires kits chocolateismynemesis she would love those.
Also a desk for her art things would be good if we could find somewhere to put it foonbaboonnalagoona.
What smart watch did you get senoritaviva ?

Thankyou everyone , I have already picked her up some sportswear in the sales. It’s my older dds birthday to but I find her so much easier as she loves clothes / jewellery / make up but dd2 not quite there yet.

My DD11 loves arts and crafts so I bought her a 8 drawer multi coloured set of draws and loads of arts and crafts stuff. She's called it Debbie and is obsessed with it!!

My DD has the deluxe set of the extraordinaires kit and then also the inventions set and building set as stand alone kits. The deluxe set is a really good starter and DD likes that it’s bigger and has everything you need inside one case. As far as the actual ideas go - it’s the building set that inspires her the most, but I’m still very glad we got the deluxe set to start her off. Not sure what the prices on amazon are just now (they definitely fluctuate) but might be worth looking on the extraordinaires website directly - they are based in NI and I bought directly from them and found the service very good.

I got her a LETSCOM fitness tracker (£25), as good as my Fitbit but with a better strap. (They’re on amazon), but can’t link from my app!
