I need some ideas please!

Have bought dd a Kindle paperwhite, a nice case for it and Lego Friends boat.

I need a couple more things as her sisters have more presents than her!

How about something for her room? Dunelm Mill have a lovely 'teddy bear' range which includes super soft throws and cushions.

Ice watch, Headphones, camera, all seem to go down well at this age

Dancergirl · 01/12/2014 12:48

She had an Ice watch last year which she loves and wears every day.

Camera is a good suggestion but is a 'big' present and I have already got her a Kindle. We might get her a camera for her birthday early next year.

Dd is 11 and Rubiks cubes are having a comeback at her school so I've bought her one and the book for her to solve it.
I've bought her a label maker purely because it's something she will like.
Some proper art supplies rather than children's crafts.
A new satchel.
A cake pop maker.

Popcorn maker, some kernels and a DVD.

Slipper boots, nightie/PJs or onesie, hair accessories, books (fiction and/or non), fountain pen, dvd, adopt an animal, bath bombs, science kit or maths board game.

marne2 · 01/12/2014 17:44

I have got dd:

Some clothes
A wooly hat
Bath bombs
Cheap camcorder ( £20 )
Tummy stuffer
Maze runner books
Lego minecraft set
Art stuff ( pencils, sketch pad )
She has also asked for one of those 3d puzzle globes or Big Ben.

Thanks all, some good suggestions. Although she's not crafty at all and doesn't enjoy making things (or cooking!)

She's not massively into stationery and I bought her some nice pens for the start of Year 7 so not really sure what to get!

PJs are a good idea, she prefers them to onesies.

How about something like a hairdryer or curling wand?

BathshebaDarkstone · 03/12/2014 13:10

If she hasn't got her ears pierced yet, get them pierced, if she has, earrings? Smile

Dancergirl · 03/12/2014 13:13

She's a bit dyspraxic and struggles to do wash her own hair let alone do anything else to it unfortunately.

temporaryusername · 03/12/2014 16:15

I like the sound of the monkey!

Also what about one of those star projector lights for her bedroom, if she is into that kind of thing.

Dancergirl · 03/12/2014 22:31
