Help! I need your 11 yo DD birthday gift ideas

As title.

She has a bike and roller skates.

She has a phone (could do with a new one but her big sister needs one more so trying to avoid that)

She has a laptop. Has earbuds.

Budget is quite small (£150ish)

I could spend it buying stuff she’ll like - jewellery etc - but no ‘main’ present.

Do you think it matters if there is no main present?

I don’t think it matters at all, particularly if she hasn’t asked for anything as a “main” gift. I’m sure she will be delighted with a heap of little pressies.

Maybe an experience instead - day out in London/nearest big city/attraction/theatre. Or a day shopping with X budget plus lunch. These are things my DD this age would like over ‘stuff’ she never asks for.

So I would personally buy a few things to open and then do the experience.

Enjoy you day 🙂

An experience gift idea sounds great, and this could very well be the main gift!
Or you can think about smaller things she would like, something like makeup, fragrance, maybe things related to her favorite artists (pins, things like calendar poster or a t-shirt with their photos, accessories etc).

Does she have any hobbies? Got my 11 year old a 'proper' art pad and drawing pencils for Xmas and they stole the show from every other present.
