Dd has a lovely Christmas ... she got some clothes, makeup, vouchers etc. It's her birthday next week and she would like a "main present"... trouble is there is nothing she really needs.
Thought I would shamelessly tout for ideas from you lot!

LAptop?
Phone?
Something for her hobby?

Our 11 year old got a keyboard
13 year old DD got a vintage drum kit. It's gorgeous.

Also
DD 13 got a camera for her 13th birthday.
Lightbox for phone pics
DD 11 got a Pandora bracelet for Christmas, with 2 charms. There's an offer, build a bracelet for £99

Ugh slippers are lovely, and indulgent

my dd also has a birthday just after christmas. Last year (when she turned 13) she got a phone for her birthday. This year she wants a longchamp le pilage bag (and a house party Hmm). Both years she didn't get anything big for Christmas

What about one of those printers to print photos off a smartphone? (If she has one already)

ScarlettDarling · 29/12/2018 17:16

My dd11 got some wireless beats headphones which she loves.

Thanks.. some good ideas there. She has a workable laptop.. she would like a smaller, cleverer one but accepts I am not going to spend hundreds on something that does slightly more then the one we have!

Chrome books are relatively cheap and pretty good I think.

My teens also like portable speakers and amazon echo things.....

My very nearly 12yo got a better smartphone than the cheapy ebay one she had. It's superglued to her hand atm Xmas Hmm

DD got a Fitbit style watch/fitness tracker which she wears constantly and asked for it for ages. It was around £30 and a real hit.

She needed a new not so childish watch anyway so it is a good compromise.

Other hits were Little Mix tickets and a animal experience. She did a zookeeper one in Summer and thoroughly enjoyed it, she wants to be a vet/zookeeper one day.

Dd got a sewing machine. We've already sewn some covers for the rocking chair.

incywincybitofa · 30/12/2018 01:17

Instamax camera
A projector if she has laptop/smartphone
A kindle reader
A coding robot was popular here
Tickets to a concert/show
I think it depends what she likes

Dd nearly 12 had a Mathmos lava lamp for her room and new Kindle Paperwhite.

Was going to suggest echo dot / google home type thing... but loads of great ideas here!
