Presents for DD9 - birthday on Christmas Day too!

[crazypiglady]

We always struggle as it’s all the presents at once! She’s really into gaming (Roblox, Minecraft), has lots of books already & has hit that sort of tween-stage where she’s not a little kid anymore but not a teenager…any suggestions would be much appreciated!!

Does she do any arts and crafts? Supplies or kits for that?

If she's into Minecraft, are there other games she might like? Mine is about the age of yours, we got her Untitled Goose Game a couple of years ago and she loved it.

Roller skates?

Is she interested in playing around with makeup yet? Revolution does some really fun eyeshadow palettes, oddly at the moment they have a Dr Seuss series 😐

Gifts my 9yo is getting, in case any are good for you:

A phone (I realise mn is generally against phones but it is common where I am for DC to have them at this age).
Tickets to Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
A water speaker
A neon draw on frame
A Luna Lovegood hoodie
A resin bookmark kit
Graphic markers and the rebel girls colouring book
A hairdryer
Books - Hetty Feather set and Lottie Brooks

Another recent hit has been posca pens, and her elder sister loved her skateboard at around that age.

I feel your pain, DD with a boxing day birthday here

My girls are younger but Djeco do some great crafty kids for older children

Some brilliant suggestions here thank you, she really likes gaming, is there anything I can get her related to that?

I have this same issue with DS, there is no point buying physical minecraft toys are he doesn't care.

Its the age to start moving onto more 'grown up' stuff.

My dd is exactly the same, even down to the interests. First year suddenly not into toys! She seems much more 'tween' now. She's also 9 three days before Xmas.

She's getting a sewing machine, sewing box and related accessories as she's really interested in design and sewing her own clothes. It's a bit of a wild card as she's not actually asked for it but I think she will love it. She's into gaming but has a switch, and mostly plays minecraft and then Roblox on her iPad.

I saw this great baby fox minecraft lamp which I'm going to get her (sorry for the long link) https://www.menkind.co.uk/minecraft-fox-desk-light?utmcontent=Minecraft+Baby+Fox+Desk+Lamp?&utmmsource=google&utmmedium=organic&utmmcampaign=organicshopping&gclid=CjwKCAiApvebBhAvEiwAe7mHSOVJwJTUa9n0KQGpBqi8EdiAdB4tSSpww8MyRRS8RV9m392speArcBoCNC0QAvD_BwE

I've also got her some bits from Claire's like a backpack she wanted and some other accessories (mostly frog related as that's her new thing).

Family are getting her a voucher for guitar lessons, new headphones, an Oodie style blanket hoodie and Nintendo switch sports game.
