Thanks for the suggestions
She s not into make up nail varnish or clothes
She s sporty but doesn't need any spots stuff at the moment.

We have lots of Lego (oldsd siblings ) maybe more of that ?

Have considered tickets or instruments but on gentle suggestions there's no outstanding even she's keen to go to or would love

OP bluetooth headphones were a hit last year (got them on Amazon black Friday infact) only 30 euros I think. Maybe that would be worth considering?

DSD (12) has said she prefers the cash - she loves trainers (and shopping for herself!) and will most likely go after Christmas to buy a couple of pairs in the sales. I’d otherwise have bought her a Nike/Vans hoodie, small bottle of perfume, a couple of makeup bits, and one of those colourful karaoke microphones I keep seeing in instagram teen videos.

My DD got quite a lot of nice things for her birthday and this year overall has had phone, bike, Fitbit.

She said she would like a guitar (I am reluctant on this as she already does piano). She likes all things Japanese so I got her a lucky dip tote bag from 'tofu cute' and will get her some manga drawing pens and a how-to book for drawing manga. She likes Fortnite so maybe some vbux which I don't usually buy for her! And Nintendo switch games which she'll share with ds. Some reading books too, she's currently reading 'his dark materials' alongside watching the BBC adaptation.

Lots more suggestions thanks

Last year she got a skateboard and helmet (loved ) plus Lego

Pp who said it s a tricky age to buy for - agree, it is
