Advent calendar for a 10 year old girl

[Carrotcakeforbreakfast]

I'm stumped.

I have effectively made a rod for my own back with novelty advent.
I surprised my 2 a couple of years back with a smiggle one for my then 8 year old and a soap and glory for my then 12 year old ( and a m&s one for me )
They don't expect it but we all look forward to them.

This year she doesn't seem to be into smiggle but still loves stationary and isn't quite at the age where a soap and glory etc would hold much appeal.
Any ideas?

Not sure if it’s within budget but Paperchase have one

Was also going to suggest paper chase. Last year next, Superdrug and WHSmith had some good tween advent calendars out but I haven’t looked this year what their offerings are as I picked up the smiggle one. Worth a look though maybe

My 10 year old has moved from Smiggle to Tinc stationary and their advent calendar last year was excellent.

Also Primark are doing a stationary Harry Potter one if you can find one!

I stopped last year and we didn't really miss not having a fancy one. We went back to plain chocolate and - even worse - split one between 3 of us. Saying that, it was larger chocolate pieces I put in a felt calendar, not the tiny ones, more like Lindt teddies or similar.

I looked around this year, DD is 12 now, and I found that a lot are just filled with so many tiny things I just don't want to add to the amount of stationary DD already owns and don't use. We discovered a whole pencil case of novelty erasers recently.

I will continue with just chocolate and do a small gift each Advent Sunday I did when DD was a lot younger.

Mine have had the Good Gifts charity one for the last couple of years www.goodgifts.org/advent-calendars.

Last year Aldi had ones that are reusable for quite a good price, you can then add age appropriate gifts

Thank you everyone

Lots of ideas here.

I've got dd1 the Harry potter funko minis one for her birthday (she's 11 in november) she collects funko pop figures and plays with them all the time so worth the money for her.

DD is 11 in January & is having a lego friends calender. She had smiggle last year & asked if she could have a toy one instead this time.

There was a Harry Potter jewellery calendar in Primark I think that looked great, she's just getting into HP so might be next years choice!
