Birthday present ideas for 7 year old

[BoxOfPaints]

It's DD's birthday in a few weeks and I am seriously lacking inspiration. Can the hivemind help? She's keen on maths and science, likes coding, painting/drawing, cycling (has a lovely bike already) and all things nature, has just discovered ice-skating, but isn't really interested in other sports at present. She is an only child and has generous grandparents, so I can't think of anything she actually needs, and she is very unforthcoming. She is not remotely keen on Barbie or other dolls, but likes Gravitrax, Minecraft, her circuit board and figuring out how things work. But she is quite 'young' in some ways: suggestions I have seen on other threads of pretend make up or similar would go down like a lead balloon. Any top tips of items which have gone down well with your not-very-girly 7 year olds?

These we’re a hit when DS1 was about 7 and reappear periodically.

A magic set! Went down a storm with my grandson

Soft archery set from Decathlon.
Laser maze
one of those bug box magnifying things.
detective kit e.g. invisible ink.
meccano - also do a junior set if the normal is too old.
there are some nice science kits around, think we had a volcano one.
lego, Lego and more Lego.

Mine loved this as a joint project with parents - it’s like intricate Lego!

this maths book was also a surprising hit - if a bit tricky at times

And this microscope for nature! (And funnily, carpets!)

How about tickets to a cool science show or exhibition?

at this time of year snuggly dressing gowns and PJs go down well too!

Bit random but if she’s nature loving binoculars and Wildlife Trust/RSPB membership?

Or a trail camera to see what creatures are in the garden (this will need adult help!)

@DelurkingAJ We have the starter set, but she does love it. I might look for add-ons.

@SparePartz I had never heard of a laser maze but it looks ideal!

Was going to suggest Gravitrax until I saw she has them!

Science kits?
Technic lego?
Experience of some kind - theatre, junior zookeeper, cookery course?

Dd 6.5 loves Lego. She received a few Technic vehicle ones for Christmas and has loved building them, taking apart and then rebuilding them. She also loves Lego & Lego books that she can get ideas from.
Crystal growing kits were loved by older dd at 6-7.

Nice sketchbook, sketching pencils.

My in-laws got my daughter a science magazine subscription about that age.

These are great ideas, thank you all.

Another vote for Lego. You can get so many different sets which feed into different interests - Jurassic World/HarryPotter/Technic/Creator. I just bought my 8 yr old grandson one of these, as he’s also into wildlife. You can make a parrot, a frog and a fish from the same set, and it’s age 7+

My 7 year old daughter (in November) asked for Disney Lego ultimate adventure castle, human body book, human body toy https://www.smythstoys.com/uk/en-gb/toys/arts-crafts-and-music/science/science-sets/wild-science-squeezy-human-body/p/224951 , genius square and genius star games from happy puzzle company. Hope these help

Thank you for this idea. Ds has a tremour in his right hand so gets frustrated with fiddly things, but this looks like he'd be able to do it.
