DD turns 8 in a few weeks.
I have absolutely no idea what to get her for her birthday.
I’ve got her a couple of books, and some clothes and a new glasses case. But I’m stuck for a main present.
She seems to be outgrowing toys plays very occasionally with her dolls house but that’s about it, already has an ipad (bought by ExH), and hasn’t asked for anything at all – she usually has something she wants, and asks for.
To make it even more complicated, she’s suspected dyslexic, suspected Developmental Co-ordination disorder and has hypermobility.
Out of school she does Swimming and Brownies. She already had costumes/uniform, a camp blanket, subs and fees pays, plus badge book for Brownies and a few teddies and dolls related to both Brownies and Rainbows (which she did before Brownies). So nothing related to her activities.
She seems to have outgrown princesses, we already have two animals adopted from WWF, she has 2 bikes (one with me and one with ExH) and a scooter which she can’t ride due to the HM (we do practise). She’s very chatty, happy in general and that makes it harder as she takes everything in her stride.
She’s have a party with her friends which she’s never had before and will probably be her only whole class party, they’re painting a pot.
She’s incredibly small for her age so doesn’t really need anything in the next size up shoes or clothes wise (clothes last at least 18 months with her, shoes can last 8-12 months she grows incredibly slow).
It just seems she’s at a difficult age, and she may get harder before getting easier. Most of her clothes are still age 3-4 or 4-5 so quite babyish, I do hunt for more “grown up” stuff but it’s hard. So I want her birthday to be everything she wants.
So ideas? I have a few weeks.
