Birthday present for 9 year old girl?

Any good ideas? I’m finding it difficult as she seems to have outgrown ‘toys’, she already has most things ie. One of those cameras that print, a bike, all the craft sets she could possibly need, etc.

I’ve got her some little presents relating to her hobby and some Lego bits and bobs, books and a Yoto card already, but want a main present, perhaps something she can play with…

Has anyone found something that has been a hit?

I’m getting my DD a ‘proper’ digital camera with a video setting. She loves making ‘films’ of her toys with her friends. She’ll be 10 soon.

My daughter really wants Posca pens. Not sure they are a main present though

Does she have a bike?

DD likes the GUI-GUI slime and there is a big kit you can get from Smyths that looks fun.

She has a bike already and more gui gui than you can shake a stick at!

would you mind sending me a link to the camera @MuchAdoAboutSomething26

How about rollerskates? That's a great idea if she's into being active, and if there is a year-round roller skating rink (some malls have them), you can get her a membership card. Or an interesting course, like beginner coding, drawing/animation, photography, daning, art classes, etc? Music lessons maybe?

Another idea is a subscription to an app or program she can use for a hobby. Something for digital drawing, an animation app, or a digital scrapbooking program, etc. Could be a nice option if she's starting to outgrow regular toys.
