It was only about £6 from ebay! I've ordered one for my 20 year old sister too 😆

@TedWilson my dd is 13 and isn’t bothered about brands like Dior and Vivienne Westwood yet, I’d rather get away with the mid brand stuff for a while longer! I was using collection 17 until I was at least 15 😁

Does anyone have a recommendation for a crystal growing set?

My experience is that unfortunately they are all equally rubbish

🤣🤣 right I'll cross that one off the list then! She does love crystals and pretty rocks though. Wonder if there's any other ideas

@Wanttobeok, I bought this mining bag for my DD for her birthday as she's a fan of rocks and gemstones too. It's basically just a bag of sand and you have to rummage around to find all the stones (a mix of raw and tumbled) and also a cute little gemstone bracelet. We got the large size and my DD got about 30 stones and the bracelet! Might be of interest...
Mining bag

Or would a rock tumbler be of interest?

Rock tumbler is a fantastic idea but I've just look and the only one close to budget has rubbish reviews.

Oh well back to the drawing board!

The mining bag looks interesting actually - would an 8 year old find it boring do you think?

I can recommend gem dig kits... my 10yo still lives them. She got this set last year...

Gifts bought for nieces:

DN13: pocket-sized watercolour set, trio of water brush-pens, pocket sized watercolour pad, pack of sigma pens,

DN11: a big potato board game, Sol de Janeiro bum bum set
+looking for a small but quality teen makeup set as well

DN10: a big potato board game, annual, silver ballet flats

My DD had a National Geographic crystal growing set last year and enjoyed it. There's not lots to do but they grew really well and she still has them on her windowsill!

This was meant to a reply to an earlier post, sorry

What about some geodes to open/break? You can get sets with everything you need

ETA like this

Anyone with 8/9yr old girl/s have a list yet? I've only bought 2 fairly small gifts so far 🙈

This is the biggest gift I've bought so far for my almost 9yr old girl. Though I feel it would suit any age and any gender tbh! Even adults https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BSP8VRLY?psc=1&ref=ppxyo2ovvdtbbproduct_details

Don't let them squeeze spots!! It leaves scars!!!!

Thanks!

Love your list OP. So organised! I also have a horsey DD but she's a bit younger (10) so she's coveting a LeMieux hobby horse with all the accessories. Also she's getting a new Le Mieux set (Atlantic) and a new Le Mieux riding coat. I'm getting her lots of little bits and pieces - some Drunk Elephant lip balm, a heated blanket for her bed, a slime set, Oodie and some Posca pens. She's so easy to buy for, I could spend a fortune so I have to be careful not to over-buy.

Think I might still be a tween girl at heart as there's a lot present ideas here I would like for myself!

Oh crikey what is it with the longchamp bag! It screams lady shopper to me but of course I’m not young and with it!

Mine doesn’t ask for anything, I ask her for a list.
