Gifts for just 9yo DD for Christmas - ideas pls!

[EmGee]

Just that really - struggling a bit. She is at that stage when she has outgrown Lego Friends but still quite 'young'. She does play with Lego Friends/Barbie stuff but much less now. She got loads of craft sets last year and some are still untouched so won't get anymore this year.

Her birthday is also the week before Christmas so will probably get her either roller blades or a riding helmet.

She has asked for things from Gap/H&M. I have already got the following:

Narnia bookset
Harry Potter illustrated book
Smiggle jewellery box + bracelet/necklace
Smiggle gel pens
Hair bobbles
Duvet set
Rubik's cube

I thought about a really nice bath towel. She is complaining that the poncho one she has is too babyish (true enough!)

Thanks for any ideas.

My younges is 16 so way out of touch with toys etc but all my girls loved blankets and cushions and still do.

Mine is the same age, but still playing with dolls house, Sylvanians, Our Generation dolls and many soft animals.

I cannot/ will not fit any more stationery in the house.

She quite likes clothes but enjoys choosing her own.

Watching your thread for ideas and will add any when I think of them.

maybe a CD player for her room, and possibly some fairy lights and cushions, so she can relax and listen to music/read?
bath stuff - maybe a nice dressing gown and bath bombs
has she got the goodnight stories for rebel girls books - theyre good for almost any age I think

My dd is 9, nearly 10 & this year she's getting:

Unicorn fingerling
Lottie doll with horse & riding outfit
Stretch Elastigirl
Pusheen duvet set & blanket
Washimals
Harry Potter wand
Mega Bloks Monster High set
Selection of small nail varnish
Heelys
2 x Our Generation dolls outfits
Funko pop keyring
Drawing pad & pens
Hoodie from her ballet school
Ballet bag
Hot water bottle
Dance themed t-shirts & socks
Dressing gown

Hope that helps

A nail dryer
A stunt scooter
Monopoly Card game

Maybe some ideas in there.
I have found shopping for her this year quite hard.

I have got my 9 soon to be 10 year old a instax Camera with an accessories pack zoella bath stuff pjs clothes a new electric toothbrush, boots smiggle stationery money In a card & I’ve planned a surprise trip to the theatre if any of this helps but with birthdays just before it’s akways a struggle x

I love you guys. Tried the eBay code which didn't work for me, but realised that I had a £10 eBay voucher waiting patiently to be used.
So Harry Potter trivial pursuit was 35p

If she likes HP, Primark have fleece blankets, cushions etc.

If she has a tablet, maybe a Bluetooth speaker.

The new Harry Potter Lego sets are very good. Brickheadz sets make good smaller sets.

Lush sets - bath bombs etc.

Karaoke machine

Science type set.

Jewellery making kits (friendship bracelets etc) - but that might be the kind of craft set you have from last year.

Thanks for these lists! I wonder about the HP Brickheadz. She has got years of HP ahead of her...!

I found some nice looking towels on the Zara website. Also very sweet blankets so that will be two nice big presents.

Think I will take her round her favourite clothes shops and make a mental note of things she likes.

Can I have a link for the blankets please?

Sorry can't link as on phone but if you go on to the Zara home website and search for Children's, then bedroom then blankets/covers that should bring them up. Quite pricey so will probably shop around first. The Zara ones do look nice quality though! I will link when I'm on my laptop tomorrow.

My dd is 9 and she is getting -

Digital camera and digital photo frame
Slime/slime making kits/putty
A variety of squishies
An our generation style jojo siwa doll

My dd will be 9 in jan, she is getting harry potter lego, spy kit, playmobil how to train your dragon set, giant penguin teddy, bathbomb making set, harry potter duvet, hp colouring and letter writing sets, hp t-shirt, penguin squishy, water science kit and books. Probably get her a kindle for her birthday.

Chemistry set, or perfume/make up set, bath bomb making kit, smyths have a make your own stress ball set too that looks good. Slime, and slime ingredients are top of my DD 8s list. Sketch book and fancy pencils.
