10 year old daughter, such a funny age...Ideas please 😊

[Loveatthe5anddime]

My daughter is 10 and a half.

I would say quite a young 10 year old as we live rurally and she spends any and all of her free time with her pony.

I think still a believer but probably very much on the cusp, her Santa list has not one single thing that isn’t for the above pony or for her to wear when riding.

What is everyone buying their daughters around about that age who aren’t interested in makeup, room decor/accessories or plastic toys oh wait that me

My same DD is getting (this is from all the extended family, not just us!)

Lego
Gardening stuff
Pyrography set
Warhammer figures
Scout camp blanket
Board games
Generic Oodie style thing
Jigsaws

Shes also getting a laptop, but its a hand down one from her grandparents for school etc, not really a present

And a book voucher. Plus books!

Dd almost 10 is getting:

Instax (photos of the pony!!)
Books
Tickets to a show
Animal encounter
Bath stuff

My 10yo is getting a Switch, harry potter lego, an oodie, colouring book and brush pens, potion light for her bedroom, a board game (Chameleon) and a resin set.

Oh, and a ticket to the Strictly Come Dancing live show.

Roller blades
Pictionary Air
Warmies Sloth
Gangsta Granny Strikes Again book
Crystal growing kit
Sharpies

You are right. Such a tricky age! Mine is getting,

An oodie
Tickets to Harry Potter and the cursed child plus an outfit for the theatre
Pictionary
Escape room games
Books

My brother is getting her the home alone Lego set too.

I also surprising her with tickets to go see the nutcracker at the royal opera house as a pre-christmas treat.

Mine is getting some of the above stuff book, switch game, lego, etc and slime from www.slimepartyuk.co.uk

My dd9 nearly 10, is getting a drawing tablet, water colour pens and posca pens. Roller skates from her Nana and some bits and bobs.

I have an 11 year old with a pony, she is getting mostly pony stuff but also:
Drawing board (just a wooden rectangular board!)
Good quality paper
Frames for photographs (of pony😂)
Soft blanket

Oh and some books

DD is almost 10. She likes antique collectables, so I've scoured vintage fairs and second-hand shops and found her a pewter box with a dragon on the lid (she loves dragons) and several little glass animals (including a dragon!) to add to her collection.

How about a book on how to draw animals (that includes ponies), some good drawing pencils and a sketch book ?

DD10 has asked for a barbie food truck.
Along with that she is getting;
A few new barbies
Friends onesie
Friends Lego set
Gym clothes
Trainers
Backpack and water bottle
Top model books and pens
Switch game
Slime kit
Tickets to the theatre

DD9 is getting (between us and her stocking):

An oodie-a-like
Roller skates
Riding gloves
A couple of books - horrible histories/an encyclopaedia of weird animals
Tickets to Six
Something from smiggle
Friendship bracelet making kit
Hot chocolate stirrers

Unstable Unicorns boardgame
Or Exploding Kittens boardgame

Lucky girls with the ponies!!

My daughter has asked for an easel and some art supplies.

Fidgets are also a massive hit with her but they bother me a bit because of the climate change and them being really just plastic junk (sorry to be a Scrooge).

Board games and oodie possible going on the list here too. And a Starbucks voucher. I think she wants that more than anything.

My DD is 11 and it does feel a tough age to buy. Not playing with toys but I know she'd like things she can do something with on Christmas Day rather than clothes and makeup.

DD 10 is getting

Adidas/Nike t-shirts, leggings and hoodies.
Skinnydip disney water bottle
Malteasers truffles
Melting snowman putty
Chromebook & case
LED lights
River Island onsie
Cluedo
New JK Rowling book about a pig
Cool Water perfume
Beanbag

Thank you for all your suggestions...

She is the youngest of 3 DD’s and I think possibly makes it trickier as there are a lot of things that we already have in the house in one shape or form ie Instax cameras, sprockets, Alexa etc and she hasn’t really shown a interest in much of it.

She likes wildlife, foraging etc, she also loves making a “potion” and did wonder about combining the two and see if I could get a book or kit on remedies/fun spells etc (not sure of that’s too out there!!)

She still loves her Maileg and keeping special things in baskets with lids, trinket boxes etc so looking for nice options there.

On a more “normal kid” 🤣 note she does love her horsey vloggers making videos on her iPad etc and did did wonder about getting a child’s vlog set, tripod etc, has anyone seen anything like that?

I know it links back to the pony a bit and you might be wanting to avoid this but it would suit the foraging angle. Lots of things I’m hedgerows etc are excellent for ponies- like cleavers (sticky willow) etc that can either be picked and fed directly or dried and added to feeds- she could make her own supplements to add to feeds that way if you get a book on it.

@Haventhadaneggsinceeaster love this idea, will check it out thank you!

My 10 year old has loads of art stuff, clothes, HP Lego, oodie and books. I may add an Apple Pencil as well.
