DSD is nearly 9, she doesn't seem to be into anything in particular. I will give some background so as to avoid drip-feeding or flaming!
Her mother gets her make-up, high heels, anything One Direction and everything pink and sparkly - although DSD doesn't seem to actually like most of it.
DH and I really want to gently direct her into a slightly less "girly" stereotype as we feel that it is something that is being foisted on her, sadly there is an emotionally abusive side to the maternal relationship, but that is on another thread. We want to help her see that there is more to her than a pretty face and a "sexy bum" (yes really...) rather than encouraging her to fixate on her looks. She spends a lot of time mucking in with the boys when she is here (climbing trees, trampolining, covering herself in mud), loves painting/drawing, reading and dressing up.
Any ideas of less plastic gender-stereotyped pressies that we can get her? I am at a loss as everything seems to be pink and glittery. Budget is about £50 for big pressie with the same again for stocking stuff.
