What will you get for your 10 year old DD this year?

[Noofly]

DD doesn't want anything for Christmas! I'm really struggling for ideas. So far I'm thinking that I'll get her a bunch of books that I loved at that age (American, so not as popular over her) and some "credit" for those ipad games she loves to play but we never let her spend money on.

She likes horses and her dog. She never wants "things" so I'm thinking about possibly doing a nice day out with her, but it's not really the same as opening a present.

DS is easy. He loves things and has a never ending wish list!

What does your DD want?

A onesie and a Harry Potter calendar is all she wants. I'm thinking tickets for a musical, she loves going to the theatre.

Oh, a onesie and calendar are good ideas!

It's such a hard age. Not hit the teenage years yet, but getting too old for kiddie toys...

I have fimo, zoella books, nice water colouring pencils, teddy blanket and v pillow from dunelm mill and sims 4 headphones for one DD, and the other like MLP stuff, latest now cd, strictly tickets.
And then some primark socks, lipgloss, cheap stocking fillers!

We have 10th birthday today. Surrounded by smiggle, books, nice colouring things, converse, lots of clothes and suprisibgly popular a jigsaw. That might give some ideas.

Xmas is so far a playmobil set and a rc helicopter. I may get a Christmas Lego set. I'd love to find a nice quality blanket, having just got rid of a drawer of old character ones that she's clearly grown out of, no luck finding one so far though!!

Arthur how about a photo blanket?

We're getting dsd 10 a popcorn machine, pyjamas, tickets to a musical, frozen bath fizz, gymnastics ribbon and straws with connectors.

Dd (almost 10) has asked for
A pop corn maker

So far

I will probably get the norse mythology book to go with that and some really nice colouring in pens and arty stuff.

My DD has a couple of good mythology books Brandnew.

I was wondering about Smiggle stuff, they were all crazy for it before the schools broke up this summer, but the craze seems to have passed in our house. I do usually get a few nice stationary bits, the DCs and I spend ages browsing in Paperchase on Saturday.

Paperchase vouchers great extra.

whoknows the second one you linked is the one I've got for dd! Glad to know it's a good one and I'll have a look at the beast one thanks.

Oo what's paperchase?

Posh expensive stationery chain. Most naice high streets have one. Or online.

Popcorn maker was a big hit here. My DD wants stuff for her room - mood lamp, fibre optic lamp etc. She also wants a metal detector but not sure if the cheap ones are any good. I just bought a make your own felt tips set from Tesco ( half price) which I think she will love. I am wondering about a geocaching kit?

Thanks sassy

The new illustrated Harry Potter is a lovely book. We have gone for stationary and cuddly toys in this house.

DH and I had a popcorn maker years ago, it was great fun but we decluttered it to save space when we realised it was just as easy to do in a big pyrex bowl in the microwave with a plate over it. Might get some of those cinema style reusable popcorn holders though.

agility stuff for the dog/garden

Lego Elsa palace
Minecraft stuff
Book of Life poster (and a figure of La Muerte)
Harry Potter illustrated book
Harry Potter colouring book
Matilda theatre tickets
Smelly colouring pens

Mine wants an iPod. Last year they had X factor tickets which thrilled them

A subscription to a favourite magazine?

Disney's Descendants is HUGE with 10 year old girls in this part of SW London, so any related merchandising is likely to be a hit IMHO!

Mine was 11 in the Summer, but some stuff on the possible list for her:

Candy floss maker + flavoured sugars from Ebay
DS games - Happy Home Designer, Hatsune Miku
Twilight DVDs
Disney Infinity 3
Stitch stuff : onesie, plush, mug
Kawaii box subscription for 3 months
Lush goodies
Books: Zoella's new one, new Jacqueline Wilson
Primark socks
Smiggle stuff - maybe Build A Light, maybe the star projector light
Edible stuff - Lucky Charms pot, sweets, chocs

I've already bought her some emoji cushions and a light up star cushion.

I've seen polaroid printers recommended for this age group but they're not cheap. I'd be tempted if they were

I forgot about Smiggle, both dd's love Smiggle.

Dd would love pop tarts for Christmas as I always refuse to buy them ( too expensive and to much sugar ).

Dd1 (11) is getting a laptop so won't be getting much else other than small silly things or things she needs, my parents are buying her a microscope and her dad is getting her a printer, she has asked for Lego technics ( will have to wait for her birthday ), she will be getting a onesie, underwear, lush bath bombs and some books.
