What are your 8/9 year old girls getting for Christmas?

[marne2]

Really struggling for ideas for dd2, I don't want piles of tat, have just had a big clear out and I'm enjoying not drowning in toys.

I have bought her a few small things including a light up cushion, a Shopkins set and a couple moshi monster books but I would like to buy her a main gift, something around £50, something that won't take up much space but will feel her occupied. Dd2 has ASD and tends to break things easily, although she loves most things that other 8 year olds do it's not always possible to let her have them as she puts things in her mouth, breaks things and doesn't really look after anything. She wants a electric guitar but already has a acoustic one which she does not look after so I refuse to get her one. She has a iPad, a trampoline and a ton of lego.

I have pretty much bought her sisters presents and would like them to have roughly the same amount, dd1 is getting the new HUDL 2, a case for the hudl, a Pickachu hoody, a game for her 3ds, a tummy stuffer and some books ( and maybe a few smaller thing such as bath bombs and sweets ).

I need ideas for dd2?

This is the robotics kit www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00N9315YU?pc_redir=1414603643&robot_redir=1

Money really tight this year so feel a little glum seeing these lists ( as small family too so not many extras)

DD would like roller skates - are we better to get quads as a novice?
Also going to adopt a penguin as she is obsessed with them.
Plus pjs, books and hopefully a penguin hot water bottle if I can find one.
And maybe a lolo ball.

She has a vetch secret diary and absolutely loves it.

Thanks girls this thread had been a lifesaver for me :-)

Thanks HowToTrain! Looks vv interesting

Amazon do hair chalks from £5 for pack of 12 which are fab

Inline skates are easier to balance on than quads believe it or not!
