8 year old girl - gift ideas

I need some ideas please for gifts for a girl turning 8 soon. Budget £15-20.

She is apparently obsessed with Barbie and Our Generation dolls but has pretty much everything. Also loves arts n crafts but again has it all. I’ve seen Posca pens mentioned but they are over budget I think plus I’d need to get an item or two for her to use them on.

She’s very girly in her interests generally, not into books or the outdoors, does like some card/board games.

*She’s very girly in her interests generally, not into books or the outdoors, does like some card/board games. *get her a "wreck this journal"? It's a book and some of it is indoor activities and some involves going outside. Might be good for her.

Lego dots? My 9 year old loves them, she’s made a sign for her bedroom door, a jewellery box and a desk organiser from kits she’s received as gifts

I’m in the same boat with DD. I’m getting her paint pens so she can paint on stones she collects on our beach walls, a science kit and a human body thing. She’s into art and the same dolls you mentioned - they have Barbie Cutie Reveal which looks cute too (DD is into all the surprise toys).

My DD is a year younger. I got her some Posca pens from Hobbycraft when they were half price but it looks like that offer has now ended.
There are lots of acrylic paint pens on Amazon though which still get decent reviews & would be cheaper- eg these which have a voucher for £7 off?
Then would leave you some budget left for items to decorate

Great ideas here. I came on to add a charm bracelet kit ( several under £20 on Amazon) , a slime kit and I'm a fan of the 3d jigsaw puzzles eg Harry Potter nightbus, globe, baseball shoe which becomes a pencil pot etc.

Sponge bag and bits and bobs to go with it (Lip balm, hair bobbles, mini shower gel, etc)?

I recommend Djeco craft kits. They are beautiful.

Barbie/Our generation wall calendar? You can design one on your own (like in Photo calendar software or via Shutterfly) and pick the pictures from the cartoons or the mose rare dolls, etc.
Also could be a collectible Barbie or a doll related to one of the Barbie movies.
