Ok.

Main pressie is a stereo as she enjoys music. She has everything musical she needs atm and she plays 4 instruments including voice.

I am stuck for stocking fillers and under £20 presents.

No make up, glitter, nails, hair stuff as she doesn't like it.
She has a lot of craft stuff, board games, and also educational toys.

So far she has bits of chocolate (xmas stuff), a baton (to conduct)
usual undies and socks.
Now I'm stuck, help.

iTunes voucher?
Lynx do a women's smelly set now which might fall under the heading of "not too girly" (actually smells ok too surprisingly)
As a tomboy I would have loved to be given clothes that i would have chosen rather than clothes deemed suitable for a girl my age Hmm
Mug and hot chocolate with marshmallows.
YKS on Amazon have a lot of cheap scout type things, survival bracelets, fire lighters etc that DS and DH will be getting as stocking filers.
Ned's wristbands were linked to on the bargain thread I think, handmade, personalised leather wristbands which are cheap.
I feel a crusade coming on here as I was your DD at 10 and never really got relevant presents

I know you say she's got everything musical but what about this mini accordion www.johnlewis.com/john-lewis-accordion/p231303501?stop_mobi=yes. I had a go on it in the shop and it actually makes a really pleasant sound - although it's a toy it is actually a playable instrument. I'm quite musical and would love it if somebody bought me this for xmas!

Dd (9) is not really into hugely girly stuff. She has asked for a plasma lamp, a domino run and a crystal growing kit.

Wacky sox!

Wow what fantastic suggestions, thank you all very much.
I will definitely go for magic stuff, I had forgotten she likes this and joke things like whoopee cushions.
The clothes are also a good idea as so many people buy her dresses. She used to keep them for the odd party, but strictly refuses now Grin
Domino run, also fantastic.

Please somebody tell me what a slushy cup is? Is it just a plastic cup that you put slushes in, or more to it.

Slushy cup

Product description tells you how they work...
I have ordered them for my DDs for Christmas so cannot as yet vouch for how good they are.

You can get them for about £7 when they go down which is quite often on amazon!
