2 Granddaughters - help!

[TheNagsHead]

My Granddaughters are sisters, 1 is 9 and 1 is 4.

For reference in the past I've bought them a kids Kindle each, or expensive clothes, or when they were younger keepsake jewellery (expensive).

Our budget is £150 each but we'll go to more.

When I ask DD what they want she usually reels off a list of the latest toys but they've got lots of family and they're the only Grandchildren on either side so they'll get the toys anyway.

The 9 year old is very bright and fiercely studious, the 4 year old is arty and physical.

I'd like to get them something nice, maybe a telescope for the 9 year old? I'm lost for her little sister. I'll get some small bits too. Any and all ideas appreciated.

Thank you 😊

With my dc’s hobbies they always seem to have their eye on something related and expensive that I wouldn’t normally consider buying - a particular brand of sportswear (I buy Primark) or a particular dance gear bag that’s all the rage and is eyewateringly expensive.

They are coming out with a new kids kindle for reading with access to books it's about £100 but will last them many years:

Thought I'd responded but hadn't.

Thank you, there are some excellent suggestions here.
I'll put them to DD and see what she says...

What about a trip to a pantomime?

I would go small like pyjamas, a nice outfit, annual, a joint game or dvd and then as people said theatre tickets or a zoo pass if one locally. Maybe a pottery place or a cooking session.
