@Jammiebammie Does your dd like crafty things? Something like an origami set could be nice - places like the works and the Book People have cheap sets or how to books - or you can pick up the right paper cheaply on ebay (or even just a cheap square memo pad from the supermarket to practice on as well as some nicer bits of paper).
It's quite relaxing and fun to do, whilst some books are childish and full of animals and water bombs (ok she might like that if she has younger siblings she can use them on!) there are some lovely more artistic ones too that you can make flowers, boxes, Japanese good luck cranes, all sorts of stuff. It's quite a fun thing to do with bits of paper too at school or uni or in later life - to turn an old wrapper into a bird or a flower or a penguin can either entertain little ones or get conversations started with older people too...
There are also things like origami with different names that are similar sorts fo things to do with paper models but different because they use scissors or more than one bit of paper and so on, all equally fun and something to do on christmas day.
If that's not of interest to her, what about a book about making simple jewellery - you can get charms and cord to make nice bracelets very cheaply on ebay, would that be something she would enjoy doing? Maybe a simple tool kit for doing some of the simple things like wire bending to add charms onto things. this is just the first thing that came up - 100 silver charms and I'm sure that if you look you'll find some of things that she is interested in or more her style - but they're cheap and cheerful, with some cord and instructions she could make nice bits and bobs.
(And if you look on ebay with more than aminute to spare, there are similar lots of christmas themed charms if anyone wants cheap decorations for adding to parcels or making christmas bracelets or necklaces for school christmas fetes or crackers or presents)
