Help! Gift for 10 year old girl.

[MonstranceClock]

I need to order something by tomorrow, but no idea what! Her dad says she likes clothes and makeup etc, but I don’t want to buy her clothes as I will probably get it wrong and don’t really feel comfortable buying her makeup. What are 10 year old girls into atm? Is there a craze? Or shall I just buy her some makeup?

Stationary is a fairly safe bet, I would say. Something like a pretty notebook and gel pens. Or a voucher.

If it has to be clothes or make-up then I would get a little nail polish set.

My 10 year old loves clothes and make up but also loves things like LOL dolls. They are always a good gift to buy

T-shirts can be good as can stationary and general tat.

New David Walliams book?

Nail polish is a good idea, or maybe cosy pyjamas with a picture of a unicorn on them. Everybody loves a unicorn.

Stationery is a good bet. Llamas are popular.

Narwhal are also popular.

Amazon voucher? Waterstones voucher?

My 10DD lives stationary, but not all her friends do.

She also loves bath bombs, especially any with things inside...

I don’t allow makeup in general, but an ok with neutral lipstick. Maybe a high end brand lipstick in a neutral tone?

She needs a water bottle for school and has a rainbow coloured one she loves. Really nice water bottle?

I think pyjamas are a safe bet. I just ordered some nice grey fleecy ones with little stars on (from ASDA) for a 9 year old.

Anything from Lush or Smiggle. Books/book voucher. PJs.

Games - Mastermind, Kanoodle, Gravity Maze are all great one player games
Backgammon
Books - and a nice book mark
Cinema voucher

There a great website called A Mighty Girl which has really good interesting gifts for girls that can be sorted by age.

Pajamas if you have to get clothes

Scented pens or markers
Thinking putty
Reusable water bottle plus stickers
Fuzzy blankets. I can’t tell you how many Tween girls and boys on my list have asked for fuzzy blankets.

We don’t do toys really anymore.

Hair chalks went down well recently for my 10 year old DD

My daughters love anything from Lush. Favourate are bath bombs, nice body lotions, lip scrubs etc. I would say that would be a safe bet

Nail varnish, lip balm, hair accessories maybe? Fluffy notebooks, gel pens, glitter tattoos, or vouchers perhaps - Amazon, Claire's, Primark..

What's your budget? I am getting my 11 year old niece a 3d pen. Getting a friend's daughter a secret diary and a messenger bag that you colour in yourself.

About 30 quid. She won’t like dolls and things like that. She’s so hard to buy for!

I recently got a friend's daughter a box from 'bookabees'. Although it's a subscription service, I just cancelled it after ordering one (cheaper than buying the one off gift option). She loved it as they printed her name on the box

Lush bath bombs definitely. They do a lovely gift box. They are expensive, but she will love it.

My daughter is a bit of a sporty/no pink/no blooming unicorns sort of child. Smiggle became very "uncool" by the time she was about 10.

Can you not phone her/email and involve her in the decision?

Amazon tokens go down well.

PJs or vouchers.

Just go on Claire’s accessories and you will be spoilt for choice.
I ordered a few weeks ago and it was bogof.

Yy go to Claire’s accessories or lush.

Lush - try slip scrub and some bath bombs. Could do a book also, pjs. I have a 9yo and 11 yo, I brought 4 books for a 10yp party today. Stationary also good!

Bits from body shop or lush? The body shop have a glitter spray in an old fashioned perfume bottle style pump and they also do nice lip balm sets.

Lego friends would go down well with my 10yo daughter, or anything crafty.
