Need to buy a gift for an 11 year old girl. Do they still like Claire’s, stationery and key rings etc? Or is that all a bit young? TIA

Primary (as in 11th birthday) or secondary? DSD still liked that stuff in primary, but once in high school moved away from it. She does like nice cushions for her room, stationery, smelly stuff (bath bombs, body spray, bath bubbles, etc), any phone related bits (new case, arm to attached to table so you don't have to hold it, fancy phone stand, selfie stick).

Paperchase is slightly older but still fun stationery.

Nice card wallet with a gift card or two in it (depending on your budget), eg, Primark & Starbucks. She can have a fun buying something and the wallet will be handy as she'll be coming to the age of getting an atm card, bus pass,

Claire's is a bit young but then it depends on the child.

It seems they never can get enough notebooks and pens, I am sure they multiply on their own in our house. DD loves gel pens, the more colours the better.

How about a purse? DD got her debit card shortly after her 11th birthday and needed one with a couple of slots.

She also loves the braclets and earrings from Assessorize, more grown up but still not too adult.

I would agree with voucher or just tenner or fiver in a card at that age. It is really varied between kids I would say. Some are on snapchat at 11 and some are still into cuddly toys.

Claire's is the choice for dd and her 11yo friends. She also loves new look.
