9 year old girl birthday gift ideas

Best friends daughter. Very girly. Loves dancing. I would say she's fairly grown up for her age, city kid. She has got some squishmellows. Bought her some little earrings last year. Budget under £15 sadly due to things being hard financially at the moment. Does anyone have any ideas? Would rather not get a voucher. Thanks all

I would look on Vinted and do a little basket of cutesy girly stuff! Get loads more for your money and can be wrapped up all pretty with some chocolate too!

I don't have kids, but when my god daughters were a similar age, they loved craft or science type kits. GALT brand are good apparently. I think argos, amazon and other places sell them too.

Something edible or bathing stuff, guaranteed that they will use/need it that way.

Lego was a big hit at that age. They do some cute flower kits.

Maybe a little jewellery box to keep her earrings in? Could be a pretty pink or heart shaped one, or a cute necklace with a ballerina charm. Another idea is a personalised dance bag or a little makeup bag with some lip gloss and nail polish inside. You could also make a slideshow with photos of her growing up, especially if you've got any from when she was a tiny baby, I'm sure she'd love seeing those and it would be a thoughtful gift without spending much. Besides, it definitely won't collect dust like items she might eventually grow out of.

If she loves dancing and is quite girly, what about a pretty bracelet or a little jewellery-making kit? You could also get her some sparkly hair accessories, a cute makeup pouch with lip balms, or a personalised water bottle. A dance-themed charm bracelet could be especially sweet without going over budget. I think something a little grown-up but still fun would go down well at that age!
