anyone have any ideas for my kids? they haven't made lists yet

[oneinamillieon]

girl (16, year 11) into reading and older music, sort of alternative?

girl (14, year 10) very girly and into makeup and football

boy (14, year 10) into video games and "nerdy" stuff

girl (12, year 7) into ballet and reading, cooking

boy (8, year 4) likes skateboarding and dancing, that slightly stupid kind of humour most boys that age have

girl (8, year 4) interested in football, majorette and cheerleading, and art

girl (5, year 1) likes my little pony and football

preferably not overly expensive considering how many of them there are

I think it might be best to ask them for ideas. Perhaps your five year old won’t be sure but I expect the others will.
All those who no longer believe in Father Christmas are old enough for you to discuss a budget with.

For my 7 and 6 year old girls I've managed to get lots of our generation stuff in great condition second hand on gumtree or marketplace. Worth a look.
Switch game console for the family or younger ones at least and then just smaller things for stocking.

Nano blocks for the teenage boy 'nerdy'. My nerdy husband loved them and lego.

My 16 yr old DD is getting some Japanese brush pens, socks, clothes if I can find anything I think she will like. Limited myself to 2 books as she has a huge unread pile - but she likes the new edition paperbacks of classic books with lovely covers. I bought her the Great Gatsby and the Prime of Miss Jean Brodie last year. Cold Comfort Farm this year.
Sushi or Christmas Jellycat toys.
Got a slightly older girl some acrylic pens and bottle lights and command strip hooks for lights or such-like.
I've also seen necklace that's a sort of ombre cord I think she will like.
Cooking girl - how about a rolling pin with embossed design, so it creates a pattern as you roll.
