Ideas for an 11 year old girl

12 replies

lostlalaloopsy · 11/10/2019 07:45

My oldest dd will be 11 at Christmas and we have no idea what to get her! She got an iPad from Grandad a couple of years ago and has a Chromebook through school, so she doesn't need any more electronics. She has no interest at all in make up/hair etc. School is difficult so she would not appreciate books. I'm really stumped!!

Any ideas?

Google home? Spotify account? Roller skates... Ice skating lessons and skates... Tickets to show... Money

Mine wants an Instax mini camera, clothes, notebooks/pens, and slime ingredients.

Last year we got her a sewing machine which has been a huge success (she was already interested).

3D pen?
HD sprocket?
Merch from favourite band?
Young drivers lesson?
Bike?

Would she consider audio books? With good headphones and something cozy for her room like blanket and pillow?

Boardgames

Experiences, day out or workshops or tickets

nice handbag/tote/backpack with purse and some money to spend in the sales

watch, either standard or fitbit style, DD's was £30 last year for Christmas

big hit for her 12th birthday was a bake-kit subscription

Forgot to add she will be 12 in feb. She’s starting to find her “style”.

She wants a few “save the planet” there’s no planet b t shirts too

She saw one that says “save the chubby unicorns” that has a picture of a rhino on 😂
