What are you getting your 12 year old girls?

[ChristineBaskets]

I'm really at a loss as to what to buy for dgd, we have got her some trainers that she wants but I want to get her some smaller presents too.

She is always on her phone and loves youtubers, she's starting to be interested in make up, she enjoys guides, watches Stranger Things, has been to see Little Mix, plays football, reads a variety of books. I usually try to steer clear of stereotypically girly stuff as I think the rest of her family have got that covered and because feminism but at the same time don't want to push my ideals!

What are you getting your 12 year olds please?

Not loads this year, she doesn't seem to want much. Jack wills hoodie, sprocket, few family board games (the friends game with the ball), books, calligraphy set and various art materials, chilly bottle, make up brushes and a couple of bits of makeup, usually chocolates and nice bath bombs.

Thank you all so much I've got some great ideas now!

I'm slightly agog at how much some of you are spending

Books, OG doll, chocolate, some clothes.

Theatre tickets
Book-set (his dark materials)

Some clothes (she’s not into labels so these are Primark and H&M)
Lush bath bombs
A big cuddly Cheshire Cat because she loved it when we saw it in the Disney store.

She's getting loads of clothes from Newlook, she's really into binge watching Netflix and has just finished watching Friends so she's getting a Central Perk bedding set and a friends top. I've got her Body Shop stuff and I'm considering upgrading my iPhone and giving her my iPhone 8 to replace her 6S. She hasn't really asked for specific things and is aware we can't go crazy so would be happy with anything we get her.

She's a good kid, I wish I could buy her everything.

Things I've bought that might fit the bill;
Chilli style water bottle
Journal - she likes the about me ones rather than just empty pages
Just dance 2020 for the switch
Metallic pens for her drawing
Echo dot
Harry Potter origami
Mine craft annual

Some lush stuff
Makeup
Lip balms
