Still stuck for 10 year old dd who is not asking for anything.

[Carrotsandcelery]

Budget is about £70 but might go higher if it is something brilliant.

It can't be: camera, ds, ipod, sewing machine, kindle, ipod dock, cd player, Playmobil...

We are totally stumped.

She is swinging between a child and a mini teenager so still playing with Playmobil but also doing her hair constantly.

Her stocking is organised but we need the one bigger gift from us for under the tree.

She is into ponies, animals in general, art, gymnastics, craft...

LittleLucifer thanks for the link - that looks a lot more appropriate for her age group.

girlywhirly we do a lot of animal charity giving and rehoming already. I wholeheartedly agree with the concept though. Dd also gave her birthday money to Alzheimer's Scotland which I was very impressed by. I will let any extra giving come from her if she gets any money at Christmas as she has proved herself in that category.

Someone please tell me it gets a bit easier when they are properly teenagers.

What a kind little girl!

I was thinking more about buying gifts from their catalogues.

Oh girly I misunderstood. I am sorry I will have a browse once dd is in bed as she likes to read over my shoulder when I am on the laptop

My 12yo DD is very into horses as well - for christmas she is getting some chaps and a new hat silk and a lead rope for when she is helping at the yard at weekends. A couple of years ago we got her something like this. Hope that helped!

upatdawn I need that too! Our mission is for dd to grow big enough for us to share a horse. I can't see us ever managing to afford one but a girl can dream!

Whenever DD askes for a horse I always say that having lessons is far better as you get to have run riding without all of the hard work :o

that should be have fun
