What would my 11 year old like for Christmas?

Just that really . . . Three weeks to go and she's continuing to tell me there's nothing she wants (not a bad thing to be fair).

So I'm stuck - she already has an iPad, laptop & electric scooter. I was thinking a new phone because the one she has is an iPhone 8 with a smashed screen but I was hoping to keep that one up my sleeve for her birthday (and also so her 10yr old sister won't expect the same on Christmas morning).

She's isn't into make up or products just yet.

What are you buying your 11 year old girls?

Thanks in advance!

I remember me at that age and I had seen a lovely modernist silver pendant and chain, in a local jewellers, never dreaming that I'd get it and I did (turns out it is now collectable!). Still have it many many years later, but maybe an item of jewellery, silver chain and charm, might be an idea. I also thought of a jewellery box, upgrade of art materials if creative, notebooks and good quality caligraphy pen as many teenagers keep journals, dressing gown and toasty socks, hand creams and manicure items or a screen magnifier for her iphone.

What are her interests/hobbies?

My DD is 11. Her main gift is some customised high-top trainers. She's also getting an art easel with art supplies, Hogwarts Legacy game, selection of slimes, teddy bear bedding set, fluffy slippers, burrito blanket, squishmallow and books. She's also getting some nice earrings in her stocking along with a few other bits.

Would your DD be interested in any of those type of things? Or something like an Oodie, waffle maker, chocolate fountain?

Converse in her favourite colour
Lush bath bombs
Books
Crafty things like paint by numbers, sequin art etc if that's her thing
Lego set
New dressing gown and slippers (maybe not exciting but useful)
Box of fancy chocolates all for her
Hair straighteners
Stationary for school

My dd is 11 and I've got her lots of smaller things rather than a "main" gift.

Fleece blanket and long hot water bottle.
Giant squishmallow (loves them to lean on while gaming etc).
Mario party for the Nintendo switch.
Taylor swift merchandise (thanks temu & aliexpress!)

Other things that she enjoys-
crafty things like hama beads, badge maker, loom bands and jewellery making. Also tie dye kits.
Crystals.
Heartstopper books.
Playing the Nintendo switch - animal crossing, mariokart, super smash bros and legend of zelda.
Beauty things like face masks, footspa, nail varnishes & stickers, lip balms.
Cooking- loves making cakes but a milk frother for hot chocolate went down very well a few years ago.
Experiences - she loves musicals and her favourite birthday present was tickets to see one in London. You could wrap something related to the experience- I did a tshirt to wear.

For my 11 yr old daughter, we have bought a new small TV for her room (her darling twin siblings broke the last one a few months ago and she was gutted🙈 )
Also - clothes, smellies, new hair accessories, lots of cosy socks and stationery for school.
Will be getting a few gift cards for her favourite shops so she can buy things she really wants after Christmas (usually get a Costa/Greggs one for when she goes out for the day with friends)
