Present ideas for DD aged 8

[Raptorrethy]

Anything to get her away from the interactive farting minion idea - please PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about tbh!

BUT at that age my dds liked:
sketch books and good sketching pencils, pastels etc

secret diaries with locks

we got them both a little silver locket at around that age, which went down well

PJs always well received, especially if there were fluffy socks alongside!

Anything to do with dressing up - pieces of velvet, sari fabric, face paints etc

origami paper from Muji

she saw a toy minion, from the film Despicable Me 2. It looks pointless...you tilt its head and it makes a farting sound which apparently is the funniest thing ever

Thank you, really good ideas esp silver locket and origami paper.

Dd is 7 soon to be 8 and is getting the following

Password journal
Roller skates
Sylvanian families fish & chip van
Lego friends high school

Kidz Lab crystal mining kit

Rainbow Loom

Just get her the farting minion and then get her a few craft sets so when you get fed up with the minion you can distract her with something else. My dd2 is almost 8 and is getting the moshi mall (even though its tat and it will break its the only thing she has really asked for), have also got her a chocolate making kit, desk top drum kit, moxie girlz doll and some craft sets.

Dd 8 and getting lego friends, furby, top models craft sets, karaoke machine, frozen movie fancy dress, stompeez and craft sets.

Thank you! Crystal mining set looks great and just her kind of thing. Password diary - I'd forgotten she'd asked for this ages ago as well. She loves Moshi Monsters too but I think she's now settled on Lego Lord of the Rings for her 'big' present and not the yellow plastic tat farting minion - phew!!

I'm going my dd 8 the National Geographic book on rocks to go with it.

Does your dd like Harry Potter?

My dd is also hoping for the SF village store.

She ADORES Harry Potter! Gryffindor scarf already bought

She has the whole Hermione outfit already plus wand from Harry Potter at Universal Studios and Hedwig...can you recommend anything else?

farting minion

FAB - ordered HP Page to Screen plus HP pop-up book for DS.
RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie my username is a not-very-well-hidden anagram of HP we are huge fans!

Thank you Retropear - got snitch, boxed set of films and the three library books already
Have ordered the pop-up book - thanks!

:) For somebody who loves words, I am absolutely awful at anagrams and would never have noticed that!

Thank you for the link - I thought it sounded like a fun, silly, stocking filler for DS but not at that price!

There's a lovely Harry Potter pop up book on amazon for around £12.
