Pre-Tween Xmas lists

[Xmaswomble]

Based off another thread for slightly older that was really helpful, what’s on your list for your 8-11 yr olds? Looking for inspo as find this a hard age to get for!

For my DD9 so far….

• Books
• posh Sleep spray set
• Clothes - jumper and skirts
• Scrabble
• Kids against maturity game
• Jewellery box
• night time projector
• Squishmallow

That’s my thought, it’s looks fab, but potentially maybe a bit advanced for an 8 year old. Might have to save an Apple Pencil for next years list!

Barbie (she's really into Barbie movie!)
Smiggle pencil case
Manga pens
Shrek soft toy
Earrings
Hair accessories
Crystals

My 8yr old has used procreate for about a year, it’s fine. I also bought a dupe pen for £20 and it’s been decent

I've just bought a magic curl 5 in 1 hair tool (can't afford the Dyson or Shark) and they've given me a further 10 % off for you.

Slime

Dd9: so far
iPad (don't want her to have a phone yet)

Hot chocolate maker maybe one of those velvetisers

@asterel I think my DDs sound very similar to yours!

Update from my earlier post when my 8 year old didn’t want anything, she managed to make a Christmas list of 2 items - ballet shoes and mini-squishmallows.

in case it is of any help to anyone else, this is what I know she is getting this year

From Santa
ballet shoes
mini-squishmallows
lego dots pen pot
little mice Christmas decorations (she was in her first Nutcracker this year)
A little craft kit - I’ve linked, as there are 50 designs and look great as a stocking filler for crafty kids
A puzzle book
A grow bar - looks like a big bar of chocolate, but actually is compressed growing medium with seeds that can then be planted out in the spring.

From us
v tech action camera (like a cheapo low quality go pro)
Bloch warm up booties
lego dots box
ticket to see a ballet (my mum is also getting this for Christmas

From others
dance school tracksuit

10% code still works and the Glaxy projector light is now half-price. I can vouch for it - it's beautiful.
