My niece is in hospital & I want to send a gift, about £75-£100. I’ve exhausted all the usual things I think. Shes pretty girly and the op is on her hip, so bit limited in clothing ideas. Can anyone give me some ideas please?

Lego/ art supplies or new books. That's what my 11.5 year old enjoys.

Crochet, art, Minecraft

My almost 12 year old is into obscure things most other 12 year olds haven’t heard of. She doesn’t like Lego, but most 12 year olds do. Mine would like art stuff and books and board games or gift cards for Roblox.

Lego, diamond painting kit, books.

Mine is into specific hardback books on her favourite topics, jewellery making, friendship bracelets, a horse riding game (star stable), books, listening to music, drawing, eating sweets / cakes / biscuits

The 12 year old girl I know best is crazy about all things manga/anime. In that situation, I would probably get her some manga comic books (after carefully checking which series/numbers she has already) or a nice drawing pad and new pencils. Maybe snacks - instant noodles, mochi.
