Present ideas for DD7...please help!!

[coffeetofunction]

I'm struggling for a main christmas present for DD7... She has nothing that shes particularly "into"... She already has a tv, tablet, bike, blades, scooters x2, dolls house, numerous barbies that don't get played with, a new baby doll for birthday, baby pram, karaoke machine...any ideas??

We have a small garden but its filled with a trampoline...we have swings, see-saw, & slide that have no space :(... Really struggling with a gift this year

I am in the same boat. DD has asked for teksta kitty (groan). She also wants a pull on suitcase for traveling (good idea), a book on birds (no problem) and that's about it!

Luckily she needs a new bike, but not sure if will get for Xmas or for birthday in spring. Outgrown her rollerblades, but barely used the last time!
Thinking of a pogo stick
Will watch your thread for ideas!

Pogo stick could be good, didn't think of that...

On my saved list on amazon I also have

Girl tech Password journal (picked up from another thread)
One of those little live pets

Get the smyths toy catalogue and give her a pen?

How about an experience? Like a trip to disneyworld in Florida?
Wrap her favourite character up and announce that you will all be going for a week at Easter (or whenever)

Otherwise my DD is into loom bands (annoying).

My lovely housekeeper has got her interested in sewing, so this Christmas I'm buying her a small inexpensive one from JohnLewis.

Lego friends is always fun and she still enjoys doing sticker mosaics.

In the past she has also been given an endangered spieces "pet" - a snow leopard, and she adores receiving the updates in the post.

Finally she is really into playing board games. As an only child it's a fun way for us to spend time with each other doing something fun, and it does get wildly competitive. Uno is a great stocking filler, as are Top Trumps.

Hope a few of those suggestions are helpful!

I wish we'd thought of an experience before I bought for the eldest...maybe next year... She got a secret diary for her birthday, we often play board games, between the older 2 I think they have all the ones they'd like but I will defiantly look at them. I've got stocking fillers covered its just the "big" present I'm stuck with

Coffee does she like the secret diary? If yes, can I ask which one you got?

I can second the endangered pet, my DD got a rhino, enjoys the updates )and cuddly toy) and has allowed us to have conversations about endangered animals.

She got the secret diary not the journal one...she like it as it has a camera, can play games, has a password...guess it depends on what your DD like doing

Couldn't the experience be something smaller than a Disneyland trip though?! Something that might just be for her and not her siblings?

I'm struggling too for my DD same age. Barbies and other toys hardly played with - she likes messy play outside, building dens or colouring and drawing. There are only so many colouring books you can get!

That sounds exactly like my DD...I've always worried about her imaginative play- or lack of, but she seems happy enough...

sew cool?

Love the look of sew cool !

Getting DDs some Usbourne How to Draw books.

DD is getting a monster high doll (yuck but can't blame DH for snapping up a bargain - she will be over the moon)

Loads of lego - particularly one of the creator house sets

Not really getting a main 'big' present this year.

(Although the lego house will be about £25 so that is quite big for our budget really)
