What are your 10 year old DDs asking for, for Christmas?

[Udford]

I find this age so difficult to buy for! Moving away from toys but not yet old enough for other things.

What are your DDs of a similar age asking for?

Mainly craft stuff, kits like marbelling and tie dye. Nothing big has been added to the list yet so no 'main present'.

Another bloody squishmallow, probably.

Oh yeah squishmallows, I'm trying very hard to put those requests out of mind, she has eleventy billion already so I'm not adding anymore to the madness.

Nothing! And it's driving me mad, not knowing what to get her.
So far I've got a little lego set, some nice pens and some slime. I will also get her a sewing book and sim card for my old phone.
I'm wondering if an experience day is a better idea rather than a big present.

Squishmallows, a hover board 😒, an oodie, clay bead making set.

Fur lined crocs, heatless twisty things for curling hair, skincare stuff (!), pjs.

Drunk Elephant skin care stuff, ah well, she can dream! 😵‍💫

Dd is 11 so far we have got her

Giant squishmallow (thanks to the bargain thread entertainer glitch!)

Taylor swift merch - hoodie, tshirt, pin badges, slippers, cushion, hat. (Temu & Ali express).

Board games - exploding kittens expansion and disney 100 dobble.

Heartstopper novels, yearbook and colouring book - she adores the graphic novels so have bought the books (vinted)

Oodie hoodie and matching blanket from online home store. Plus will get a long hot water bottle to stop her stealing mine!!

Mario party for the switch.

Past gifts that went down well and still used alot!

Hama beads
Badge maker
Jewellery making stuff
Loom bands (might get scoobies for her stocking!)
Ipad
Wireless headphones
Baking kit
Milk frother with a selection of hot chocolates, marshmallows etc.

Another one hoping for drunk elephant or that bum bum cream stuff. Similarly, she has no chance but I've got her some facemasks and other bits of skincare. She also wants a facemask maker, clay bead set, pom pom maker, dork diary books, hoodies, a onesie, fake plants and some UGG style boots.

Agree it's a very difficult age!

DD has asked for squishmallows, a long stuffed cat pillow thing, a Stitch oodie, slime, mini verse, Dobbie Lego set, she still likes those Top Model books.

No main present - I don't think she knows what she wants herself to be honest!

Oh and a bubble tea set!

@BettyOBarley bloody hell fire...we have the same child! I have honestly bought everything on that list for my dd.

Going by this thread my DD is very generic 🤣

Similar here! Stitch stuff, anything cosy-jammies, socks, oodie, blanket type things. Has a clay bead set already but might get the gadget from amazon that strings them on. Thankfully not into skincare yet! Would probably like Ugg boots (or Ugg style) too.

what was the squishmallow glitch @SootspriteSearcher ? Assuming I’ve missed the boat on that now? I can’t keep up with the Xmas bargain thread!

Drunk elephant or bubble too…

it’s annoying but a better age than teens who ask for things like Mac books 😅

DD1 is 11 and up until a few days ago she was asking for a sewing machine and lessons for Christmas. Now it's all change! I've pretty much finished buying for my other two DC but probably won't even start with DD1 until a couple of weeks before Christmas as she changes her mind so often!

Her (current!) wishlist is...
Hand painted high top trainers
Art easel and water colour paints/brushes/paper
Dunelm teddy bear bedding set
Slime
Squishmallow

We/wider family are also getting her make-up/cosmetic storage, Hogwarts Legacy game, baking books, books.

Previous hits...
Instax mini liplay camera
Fake oodie
Tickets to Six
Posca pens and canvases/blanks
Snow Fairy set from Lush
Jewellery
Ice cream maker
Waffle maker

She’s asked for a karaoke machine 🙉 goalie gloves, tennis racquet and unsurprisingly - a giant Squishmallow 😫 so far I’ve only got as far as a gps tracker watch so she can have more freedom with her friends

Mine has also asked for skin care. I have picked up some ‘bubble’ and ‘BYOMA’ products as these ‘seem’ to be young skin friendly. She did ask for drunk elephant but she’s got no chance!!

Im struggling on things that are more ‘age appropriate’ as 10 is an awkward age. She likes her cosies so will probably get an oodie. I could do with some ideas for ‘toys’. She says she does still like dolls like omg and rainbow high so that’s an option.

She likes Squishmallows but they’re so bloody expensive.

Squishmallow... so glad we're not alone!

She has also asked for a chocolate fountain..!

Having the same thing with my 9 year old dd. On the list so far is a Guitar(recently started learning), squashmallows, some other soft toy thing and craft stuff. I guess the guitar can count as a main present? but it's only £50. Her older brother is having a Xbox Series S.

I got my niece (almost 11) a pudding plush. She is desperate for an AirUp bottle and yet more fidget toys (she is autistic). Lego dots things were popular for her 10th birthday.

@Winter42 I got some Bum Bum cream off Vinted for £8, might be worth a look, especially if it gets discarded out of beauty advent calendars!

Top of her list is a recorder
she’s also asked for craft bits, skin care, a Stanley cup ( I’ve told her that’s to much for a cup so she’s asked for one that looks like it)
slippers
books

her birthday a few months ago was more toy based. Bur she hasn’t really played with them.

A horse . She's not getting one this year! Just what feels like every item in the LeMieux catalogue, new riding boots, hair straighteners and some big Lego sets

My 9 year old (will be 10 after Christmas) has asked for roller skates. I’ll have to get her to try them on though so I need a couple of surprises. Probably a Harry Potter Lego and some books, definitely the nea Lottie Brooks one. I’m contemplating a kindle because we're running out of space for all the books she gets through.

@Bobbinsbop she’d probably love a recorder too but I’m not sure I can stand it…!
