Useful stuff like swim kit/sports gear.

Season ticket/voucher for swimming pool, trampoline park, cinema, bowling etc.

Bedroom stuff - duvet cover, rug, poster/decals, pin board, lamp/fairy lights.

Books - Hunger Games, Maze Runner, Divergent, Ridleys Believe it or Not, Guinness Book of World Records etc

Unusual sweets, treats, baking set, wok with ingredients & recipe book.

Voucher for an experience day? Tank driving went down well with DS and DH one year.

Great ideas above. Outdoor or sporty stuff, stationery, art supplies, books.
(That might be my own wishlist!)

Swingball or stomp rocket are fun too!

Last year she got camping equipment. They are hopefully doing watersports next year, so wetsuits could be an option...

In the garden they have trampoline, 12ft pool, hammock, massive swing and netball. They have bikes, scooters, cricket set, various balls etc.

She would probably like some more seeds and pots.

She might love a Cheese kit. Especially if it makes Red Leicester.

Thanks for all suggestions. She has over indulgent grandparents so has most things she wants or needs. We moved recently and got new room stuff...

I've also had the idea for some electronics kits.

If she likes scouts, maybe a penknife/ wood whittling kit?
