Something different for 8 year old girl

I want to get something special for my dd. She is such a good girl and last week gave some of her clothes, toys, coats and scarves to homeless children. She chose what she wanted to give herself and I am so proud of her.
Has anyone any ideas please?

Depends what she likes really. Would she like a Robert Sabuda pop up book? These are rather special.

mawi · 04/12/2016 21:28

Oh those books are so pretty. I have never seen them before.
She is very imaginative, creative and enthusiastic about everything she does. She likes science, cars, reading, art, teddies, fairies, clothes and music.
I am in Ireland so delivery can be a problem.
Thank you

Look up junior geo. They do really nice crystal and geode gift sets.

Google 'Slot Together Victorian Dolls House' - its a lovely historically accurate house with furniture etc. And not girly/pink etc

Or how about a musical instrument, assuming she can take lessons somewhere?

What would she really like? Has she written a letter to Santa that you can peek at?

stock animation kit?

Ottoline books by chris riddle? Lemony Snicket series of unfortunate events are excellent..day out - theatre trip..and lunch somewhere lovely...

Djeco kits are beautiful too....all sorts of art and creative kits.

This is a very cute idea - we got one from an Irish relative. You stick it to the skirting board and you can send letters to your fairy.

Some lovely ideas here. Thank you all. She already has the fairy door Elenorr and loves it.
Will spend the morning googling and showing DH to see what he thinks. I love the Victorian dolls house but cannot find one in stock around here.
