Gifts for a nearly-9 year old?

DM and MIL and DSIS would all like me to tell them what to get for the DCs for Christmas.

I've used up all my ideas on my presents for them already!

What are you getting your DC?

DD is 9 soon and it's her I need the most help with.

She likes Harry Potter, Minecraft, playing with her RL friends online, YouTube, singing and dancing, reading, playing the piano, poppits, board games (but we have too many!), she's obsessed with cats and her favourite colour is blue.

(DS has hobbies, it's easier to buy for him, but any suggestions for 13 year olds also appreciated!)

All ideas gratefully received!

Assuming she has access to a keyboard/piano and a tablet - Subscription to the simply piano app, teaches from beginner to advance also has a ton of virtual sheet music from classics, musicals, pop songs and Disney for all different levels.

Harry Potter Wax seal set, with parchment (parchment colour paper is cheap on amazon) and quill / fountain pen.

DD is nearly 9 and likes HP, piano, dancing, craft/photography/animation and so on. She’s getting:

Big HP Lego set
More HP bits - notebooks, T-shirt etc.
glitter LED lamp for bedroom
Gravity Maze and Blokus games
An instax camera and film
Lego dots set
Some books

I think she’ll be getting a skateboard, books, clothes and some more HP Lego from family members.

Earlier in the year she got roller blades with flashing light wheels from grandparents which were a big hit - would your DD like those?
