Help - Xmas pressie ideas for distant 10 y-o niece in US

[Twitchet]

My brother died several years ago and since she's in the US I don't really see her very much and so don't know her very well. Any help ideas at all would be brill. She's not sporty, but is a total tween and is quite "crafty" ie making things not Angelica-Rugrat like! Budget is somewhere between £15 and £30 and ideally not gigantic/bulky because of post.

Please help!

They have some good reductions at the moment on do crafts art stock.
The Papermania Starter Scrap Book Set is good value at £29.99, its been reduced by £10.

Wow, thanks Jayzmummy. Have just started to look and it seems amazing. Will have a good rifle through the site over the next few days.

Argos do some nice craft starter kits. And I bet they don't have them in the US

Many thanks to all. Given all your expertise, are there any online specialist craft shops that you trust/recommend.

TwitchetI am here in the US and I have a DD aged 11. My DD loves scrapbooking and crafts, along with clothes, lip glosses, mystery novels (for teens). She adores british candy and would go crazy for a lot of Woolworth's PIC and MIX those big gooey snakes and the fried eggs and jelly babies--all of those candies delight her. Good luck whatever you decide, I am sure she will love receiving a gift from you!

Thanks sunchowder, partic for pic n mix idea, inspired!

Design & paint your own T shirt kit (nicked that idea from some one who bought one today to post to US! - Nice & light - from M&S)

Early Learning do a fab fab scrapbook starter set too, a tenner. I want one myself!

Both great ideas as well. Think I'll try and get one of those two done thank you very much ladies with a pic n mix as an extra. There's an ELC opp an M&S on Ken High - purfick.

I have 2 neices this age and I always shop at gap.com for them. £30 is what about $50 these days? You could get something for that I would think.
