I'm soooooo stuck!

Stuck with main present, stuck with stocking fillers!

She likes music and art.

Confused

DD (11) is mad into sport and music (doesn't play but loves to listen to all sorts).

We got her a Bluetooth waterproof speaker that she can stream her music from her ipad (stored or Spotify) as her main present.

We've also got her a few things for her sailing (main sport), a couple of books (a sailing one and a fiction one), a Harry Potter fleece blanket (to curl up under when she comes in cold and tired!) and a big mug (for her hot chocolate) with the sailing flags on it (useful to learn them!).

jingle yes my dd is getting fingerling set along with her younger dsis - I know they will absolutely love them.

Great ideas here, my daughter is bang in the middle of this age range and would love most things (except the dolls/Sylvanian stuff).
She will be getting some (not all of):

Pyjamas/onesie/slippers

Sequin sweatshirts from Zara

Board games eg Pandemic

Camera

Stationery

Anything pen/ink/calligraphy related.

Possibly a laptop/tickets to a West End show

Unicorn anything.

Kawaii (Japanese cute) anything. (eg a lamp, cookbooks...)

Lush anything.

Honestly, I think this is the easiest age in the world to buy for, and there's so much she loves. It's more a question of not getting tat (eg LOL dolls) and getting stuff that will last or she will use up.

MiaowMix · 21/11/2017 12:23

She's not into labels at all yet, thank god!

MiaowMix · 21/11/2017 12:25

Plus books/book vouchers

Dd10 is getting a laptop, and she really wants thundertrax. She’s quite tomboyish. I’m also getting her some filmo clay, science set and slime kit.

RueDeWakening · 21/11/2017 22:29

DD10 is getting a shedload of Fimo, a DAB radio alarm for her room, a dinosaur excavation thingy from the Natural History Museum, Happy Potter pjs from Primark, some reversible sequin tops, books, and other bits and bobs for her stocking.

IHeartKingThistle · 21/11/2017 22:42

DD (almost 11 and very into piano) is getting a keyboard and headphones so we get some peace . She hasn't asked for anything though except the new Dork Diaries book, says she's too young and too old to know what she wants! Bless her.

Also getting lego, more books, audio books, slappie watch, mosaic making kit and HP stuff.

Titsywoo · 21/11/2017 22:48

Monthly subscription to photoshop so she can use it on her tablet (big present - we got it very cheap as we have a friend who works at Adobe)
BTS vest top (they are a Korean boyband she likes)
BTS Wristband
Demi Lovato hoodie
Set of sketching pencils

nancy75 · 21/11/2017 22:50

Dd 12is getting jinglebell ball tickets & She went to the MTV awards last week so that’s the main part of her present.
To open on the day she’s getting some cds she wants, Shawn Mendes perfume & a shower Bluetooth speaker. I’ll probably get her some new art stuff like nice colouring pens/pencils because she’s very arty ( not even a little bit interested in clothes or make up)
