Would your 11 year old girl like a sticker book?

I have no idea what 11 year old girls like! I have twin nieces who live in Australia, my mum is going out for Christmas and I'd like to get them something that's not big and heavy for my mum to pack so I came up with sticker books! They love horses and are having riding lessons so I thought that might be a good way to go, but are they too babyish for an 11 year old?? For what it's worth they've only just turned 11 and aren't 'grown up'. Any advice gratefully received!

Not sticker books but my 12 year old loves the packs of vinyl stickers you can get on Amazon, you can get a big range of different styles, animals, butterflies, general uplifting designs, film themes, and they're waterproof so they can go on bikes, skateboards, furniture etc.

LOL My son is a man now, and he still loves a good sticker- some of the old ones from teen years are quite collectable. {Powell Peralta &c} Horses- Breyer do some lovely model ones- can probably buy them in Australia.
Plenty of adults collect them, especially in USA.

My 11 year old is into the skincare etc everyone mentions but would still love a Top Model sticker book - they do some lovely horse ones where you add tack/outfits etc. It might be young but she loves them... freeze dried UK sweets would also be super fun and obviously very light weight!

I have horse mad twins. I'd get something lightweight like a lemeiux base layer, you should be able to get short sleeved ones now for a decent price for Australian summer, or some gloves, or hat silks.

Interested in this thread?

My niece is 12 and while she wouldn't be into actual sticker books, she does absolutely love stationery and journalling stuff - nice notebooks, cute pens and highlighters, washi tapes, little sticky notes etc. She does like stickers, but more like sticker sheets that she can use to decorate pages or stick on her laptop/water bottle/school folders etc rather than sticker books.

Definitely not a sticker book. My DD is 9 and hasn't used one for several years. Other small lightweight things could be English sweets (eg Percy Pigs). Some English teen magazines? Australia is terrible at magazines. Mini skincare / make up?

Please not make up for 11-year-olds! Or at least, only if you know they wear it already and their parents approve.
