Totally stuck for dd2. Need a gadgety present for an 11 year old girl? Not a...

[sadsometimes]

... Kindle, camera or phone (she has those)
... Laptop or anything that gives Internet access

Furby?

Bird feeder / nesting box with CCTV?

Raspberry Pi?

Not a furby , shudder

Raspberry pi not a bad idea, she loves technology

Also loves art

What about that Crayola glow book? And some other arty or gadety bits. Don't know what it's like but looks cool.

Telescope or binoculars
Pebble tumbler (for polishing pebbles)
Spirograph
Crystal growing kit
The Works has a fab looking Volcano and Earthquake kit

A John Lewis Mini Sewing Machine £50. Excellent reviews. Saving it up as DD's next birthday present.

why no Internet access?

Clip on kindle light? New kindle cover. New phone case/laptop bag? Extend the art theme to e.g. Card making kit. Does she like baking? Cupcake or cake pop making stuff?

Nice speakers for music? Or just itunes vouchers

oh gawd there's so many lovely suggestions here but nothing that's right. Trouble is she has an older sister so already has a lot of techy stuff.

She'd probably like one quite grown up gadgety thing and a lego set

She's quite sophisticated really.

NO internet access as she is addicted to minecraft as it is

Did you know that you can buy origami style minecraft kits for building creations out of cardboard blocks?

Mrscakes can you post a link to the origanmi minecraft kits pleas? Sounds like something dd would love.

What about an ipod and docking station?

Does she enjoy faffing with her hair? Saw thing on TV that you feed strips of your hair into and tah dah, comes out as ringlets!!

My dd is 11 today I bought her an ice watch and a sewing machine she loves them both also got her a few other bits.
She also wanted a pogo stick and a superdry hoodie which she can buy with her birthday money.

I'm pretty sure DDs raspberry pi allowed internet access... not sure whether you actually need it to download stuff onto it.

If she's into technology, there are lots of kits for building robots etc. Maplin is a good place to look and get advice. My DD's presents when she was 11 included her own soldering iron and kits that needed soldering.

If she likes lego, does she have k'nex - they do some really good kits including ones with motors to build vehicles - I think its better than lego in some ways.

She is getting a hair dryer for Christmas

Thought of you while shopping today. I saw Tetris Lights and also this quite attractive animation kit marked 'for use with your camera and phone'.

My DD is getting an ice watch too - she needed something waterproof with a second hand for sailing. Looks good....bright green!

We gave DD(11) an Electronics set from Maplin last Christmas and DS1 electronic engineer is giving DD some easy electronic board sets, for this Christmas.

or maybe a sewing machine/baking stuff with cookbook.

What's your budget? Makes a big difference!

Here's a link to minecraft paper craft as requested by insanity. Sorry for the delay in replying.

Keyboard or guitar

Wow thank you MrsCakes dd would love the animal set. I'll see what's left of the budget though first as they are quite expensive aren't they?

iPod touch
