So my DN who lives with me is turning 11 in a few days.
We've been encouraging her to pick some presents but she isn't sure what she wants.
She likes reading but has a fair few books already.
Shes not into skincare/makeup/sports or gaming really.
She will craft a little bit but she has poor motor skills so anything her age is too hard and she loses interest and she is very self-conscious so anything for younger kids would upset her.
She likes blind boxes but gets sad if the one she wants isn't in there so I wouldnt want to get loads of those.
She has a tablet but weve just had a really good few weeks of her limiting screentime so I don't want to add anything like a kindle when we've made so much progress
She showed interest in a sylvainian families family and house but changed her mind because she said it might be babyish and it costs too much. Part of me is wondering if we still get it but I'm not sure.
So far she has chosen 2 books which we have asked family to buy her.
When asked what she wants she says she doesn't want us to buy her anything because we have already given her and her siblings a lot the last few months.
Which is lovely of her but we really want to get her some gifts
Her younger sister had a birthday a few weeks ago and we had completely the opposite problem of getting her to narrow it down cause she wanted everything.
She also had a big party and had lots of presents from school friends. Plus around 5 gifts from other family members.
DN wont have that because she wont be having a big party just a couple of friends for a day out and sleepover. So I don't want her to look back and think her sister got loads of stuff and she got nothing.
