My niece is 8 on Friday, and I need to get her a present - something I can get from Amazon Prime, really. I'm largely nc with her mother so can't ask for suggestions. I know it's awful of me to leave it so late but I've been pretty ill recently, with an operation scheduled for next week, and it's just slipped my mind until this morning. So those of you with girls of about this age, what is 'in' at the moment?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Zelfs and stationery would be a winner in our house with similar aged Dds.
Also anything mine craft or sing star/ karaoke related.

My DD is 8 and she is all about stationary/craft stuff at the moment. Pencils, paints, gel pens, glitter glue etc.
Her favourite shop is Smiggle!

She also really likes Shopkins and books. She's just finished book 12 in the Judy Moody series :)

Sequin Art is good.

Blott rubbers (or anything from Blott) is the new big thing around here.

Monster High. Smiggle. Any friendship/loom band crafty kits.

Minecraft or shopkins here (but with some in both camps and some in neither, so probably you need to stay clear of both if you don't know!).

Also second stationary and craft kits with the caveat that I (as a parent) feel swamped by them!

ghostyslovesheep · 25/06/2015 09:50

Monster High, Zelfs, Shopkins, My Little Pony here - she's 6.5 though

my 10 year old likes Minecraft, Fifa 15 and anything football related

My cupboards are overflowing with craft sets I beg you not crafts or anything needing adult intervention

My dd has the journal mentioned and does like it
Shopkins and smiggle here, smiggle is cheap in the sale

My girls (10 & 9) love Top Model and Ever After High. Both available on Amazon.
