What are you getting your 10 year old daughter?

What are you getting your 10yr old daughter this year? She has asked for a pets alive puppy but it seems really you for her. I got the pets alive guinea pig last year with 3 babies and she has barely played with it this year. She’s not really playing with any toys now - Barbies or rainbow high dolls. Going to have a clear out in September.
I was looking at Science sets, making bath bombs and make your own chocolate sets but my DH really hates getting a toys that will make mess. So I am really stuck. I know she likes having presents to open. Ideas suggestion please?

Does she like arts and crafts? If so, maybe something like a calligraphy set, a set of paints, embroidery kit, etc?

Just had this conversation with my best friend who's daughter turns 10 next month. She's bought her posca pens and some supplies to go with. A purse with some gift cards to put in. For christmas bedroom stuff as shes requested a more grown up room, kindle, lush and she collects these silicone animals from Loulas little nursery (she watches them on tik tok)

Flubadubba · 24/08/2024 12:47

Roller skates?

NoCoco · 24/08/2024 14:13

Posca pens are a big hit
Squashmallows
Still likes Lego and always asks for a set
Books
Bath bombs
Stationary

My 10yo DDs Christmas gifts so far and lists. She’s not into popular things for girls her age although she dose love herself some YouTube trends.

Bought
Stranger Things funko pops x 2 - she already has several of these and collects them.
Stranger Things Christmas crackers
Notepad set - book, pens, ruler and tape.
Tickets to Six - Night away with 1 parent, tickets and hotel booked.
2 rubber sharks - she loves sharks
Pink soft shark
2 x demon slayer figures - has started watching this after a school friend recommended it, she likes some characters, not all.
Shark teeth game & plush shark- found in Flying tiger this week, it’s like the crocodile game that snaps but is a shark.

Wants
Switch - we’ve convinced her to wait until the new one comes out
Squish mallow Preferably a shark but anyone
Shark stuff in general
Melissa and Doug dental set - shes thinking of becoming a dentist.

Ideas
Nail tech stuff
Shark tracking bracelet
Anything Sadie Sink or Milli Bobby-Brown related

Should add other recent hits, definitely Posca pens, roller skates, art table and supplies.

@ITSSSSCHRISTMASSS I spotted Stranger things squishmallows on Smyths website. Not sure if they are out yet or about to be released. Think there were about 3 characters, not clued up on the show to say which ones.

Chocolatecakewithsprinkles · 25/08/2024 16:51

Squishmallows, Oodie, lego and an eye shadow pallet (for practicing).

ITSSSSCHRISTMASSS · 30/08/2024 12:19

Thanks @FountainofTruth i will check that out x

My 10yo dd has slightly younger tastes than some of the girls at school as far as I can tell! She still likes and asks for toys but is now actually playing with them less. Seems to veer between wanting to be younger and wanting to be more grown up.

Some ideas I've had so far:

  • Squishmallow, she usually let's me know which ones she's after!
  • Cute/kawaii style stationery
  • Books, she's started on the Harry Potter series, also likes Cathy Cassidy and anything horse related.
  • Lego set
  • Mini printer to connect to her phone.
  • Stuff from Kenji, we went to the Bullring last month and went into the Kenji store, she was in heaven and wanted to buy everything 😂
  • Hand lettering kits, she loves doing fancy handwriting styles so I think she will enjoy learning this.
  • Art or craft sets that are more grown up, not sure exactly what yet but she's very creative and crafty so something that will occupy and challenge her a bit.
  • Hair accessories, I get cheap bulk stuff online, cute or pretty designs but I don't want to buy expensive as they get lost or broken!
  • Lip balms/glosses, she doesn't really have an interest in makeup other than these just yet.

My dd is 9, she's asked for a pogo stick, a new skateboard, trampoline shoes and roller boots. I have also got her the lego simba and a new football kit.

YouG0GlenCoco · 14/09/2024 10:26

Oh also, forgot to add! I was in B&M this week and they have a few different food type things, candy floss maker, chocolate fountain, mini donut maker, crepe maker, probably more. I will choose one each for 10yo dd and 12yo ds. They were all £25 each.

FourForYouGlenCoco1 · 15/09/2024 07:07

Klutz craft sets are really good (especially the sushi one & the mini baking set).

Miniverse sets are great too.

My 10 (but soon after Xmas to be 11) year old has requested anything Harry Potter related, which is tricky as she has so much already! I’ve found a Quidditch Balls set that she’s after, so that’s good.

She loves her Sylvanian Families still, so I will get her additional bits for that.

The furry Crocs sliders (I think they’re called Cozzzy) - these are a huge hit each year, especially when I get new Jibbitz too.

FourForYouGlenCoco1 · 15/09/2024 07:08

@YouG0GlenCoco just spotted your username 👀😂

YouG0GlenCoco · 15/09/2024 09:28

@FourForYouGlenCoco1 😂 we just need a NoneforGretchenWieners to come along and complete the set!

SootspriteSearcher · 15/09/2024 09:54

If she's asked for it and it won't break the budget I would buy it.

My daughters are 12 and 16 at Christmas. Both are still very partial to a cuddly toy or figures of their favourite characters!

Other ideas that have been hits over the last few years

Harumika sets - kind of like outfit creating that doesn't involve sewing. Cheap from bargainmax last year.

Tie dye kit and white tshirts/bag/hoodie etc.

Giant squishmallow to lay on.

Oodie type hoodie, long hot water bottle and fleecy blanket (weighted was a hit with my eldest)

Books with book light and zip up book sleeve for taking out and about (taylor swift for youngest and gothic for eldest) I considered a kindle but my eldest reads manga and youngest likes a charity shop find!

Light up drawing board - great for tracing designs.

Badge maker.

Hama type beads (amazon were best as actually sorted into colour in a big plastic box) I recommend a tray of some sort to do them on if you dont have a table like us!

Big bracelet/jewellery making set. I collected supplies from shein, amazon, temu and put in a zipped up bag (supposed to be for makeup) to keep it all together.

Tickets for events. Etsy do lovely metal engraved tickets which make a great display item or bookmark after!

Make up with light up mirror.

Board games. A big hit has been the rivals ones - cluedo, monopoly and game of life. They are 2 person versions which are shorter. Also the big potato games are great. Dobble is always a favourite and you can get loads of versions!

ShoopShoopShoopShoop · 15/09/2024 09:56

I'd ask her about closer to the big day tbh.

Maybe ask again after October half term.

jakesmommy · 15/09/2024 12:03

My daughter turns 9 in November, some ideas for her include:
Stitch Pyjamas
Stitch duvet and fleece blanket
Interactive Stitch Puppet toy
Stitch 3D jigsaw
Stitch Colouring book
Stitch Lego set
Artist Colouring pens
Glitter tattoo set
Disney Bitzee
Squishmallows
Dragon Prince comic books 1-2

There is definitely a theme to what she likes
