Gifts for kids that love to Vlog

So I had plans to take my 9 year old to London to see Matilda for her birthday this month - obviously that is out of the window!

She loves make YouTube vids, messing about - only posts them to her private account were a few of her mates can see. Are there any accessories that I can get for her for her birthday? I am struggling to think of ideas - she is at the awkward age!

And any other gift ideas would be welcome!

How about a dimmable ring light if you want something she can use for videos?

Is she turning 9 or 10? Does she not play with toys any more? Most girls that age still like things like Lego Friends...

@StatementKnickers - she's turning ten. She's got loads of Lego, had all the sylvanian families etc but doesn't play with it.

I'd probably go for the light then. Does she watch videos too? If there are certain YouTubers that she follows you could try to find one that's not a terrible role model (most of them seem to be total airheads) and look for either merchandise of theirs (bloody Zoella has a branded everything) or stuff they've recommended/used in their videos.

Trying to think of other ideas! What sort of budget did you have in mind? Will you still go to Matilda when you can?

whatagonnahappennow · 01/05/2020 10:39

@StatementKnickers yeah as soon as the theatres open, we will go! Budget not too tight - I just want to get her things she'll like.

Yeah she likes Norris Nuts. That's all she really watches. She doesn't make loads of videos - I've prob over egged it a bit, trying to find something she likes.

@LunaLula83 - yeah I did google it but I didn't really know what I was looking for so I thought I would post on here in case anyone else had any ideas - that ok with you?

Does she use a camera or a iPod/Tablet/Phone? If she uses an iPod or phone maybe a selfie stick or you can get phone ring lights. Now is a great time to get bored games, craft sets ect. Anything to keep her busy during these times. Smile

@lilyellowchx - thanks that's a lovely idea and just what I'm after. Brilliant, I'll get her a selfie stick. She's had every board game going but not got one for a bit as she was at that in between stage! I'll get looking. And crafts... fab! Thanks x
