Gift ideas for almost 11 year old dd

[fayebebaby]

My dd turns 11 beg of Jan, we have bought her a new phone for her birthday. But I am struggling for a main Christmas present for her. So far I have got her DVDs, books, dressing gown and some crafty/arty stuff. She has a I pod touch we bought her last year that never leaves her side! She doesn't want an I pad or tablet, any ideas??

My dd is 12 and loves her roller blades and her bike.

She has roller blades, needs a new bike but doesn`t want one! most of her friends are getting I pads but she says she doesn't need /want one because she has her I pad

kindle?
something for her room, eg desk and chair? My DD has asked for a small sofa for her room

Speaker thingies to play music from Ipad on? can you even do that? Sorry I'm a technological dinosaur but I seem to be vaguely aware that such things exist.

she doesn't want a kindle, she did mention a desk trouble is there`s not much space in her room - may be we could move stuff round - off to get a tape measure thanks

Sorry Ipod...argh!! Is she into craft and making things? Just bought my older dd a very nice sewing machine for her birthday as she's doing gcse textiles.

she loves her I pod, and is always making little videos on it, cant see her with a sewing machine - don't know whats worse kids who want everything or kids who don't want anything, Her DB 14 is getting a lap top so I would like to get her a main present. My mothers words still ring in my head - you don't bother same with the 2nd child - I was the 2nd and that was so true in my case that I try and treat mine the same

Concert/event tickets?

I know what you mean about the ones that don't want anything being difficult. My dd1(15) is the same. She hardly asks for anything ever which is a combination of very endearing and maddeningly difficult. She had her iPod some years ago. Has used it every day since, but has looked after it. I suggested she might like a newer model now, but she looked aghast at this. 'But I like this one..' My other two are a little easier. They do have ideas but like surprises which is becoming ever more difficult to achieve. I do think girls reach an age where they just love lots of bits and bobs. Dd2 would def love tickets to a concert though but we haven't really explored that type of present yet.
