Present ideas for 11 year old girl

Hi all, I need some help to think of gift ideas for DD for Christmas and her December birthday.

So far we have:
roller skates
personalised apron
sewing machine
animal experience in a zoo
lego

She doesn’t need any tech, likes board games, crafting, cooking and netball. She has a netball hoop, bike, Alexa and make up.

I’m not necessarily looking for expensive present ideas but things that she will like.

I think we might be getting to the vouchers/clothes stage now but I’d like to hold off for another year.

Any ideas are gratefully received.

At some stage in the Autumn Lidl usually have some lovely material squares for sewing and other bits and pieces that might go well with her sewing machine.
Also some fairy lights for her room..or that one light strip that goes right around the top of the wall and you can change colours.
Any other bits to add to her room.
Some notebooks/ nice colours/ books/ stuff for scrapbooking/ hair stuff

Azul is a brilliant board game if she likes those. It's a crossover game, real hard core gamers and social players like me enjoy it. It would help to watch a 'How to play' video before trying it but it's not too tricky - for ages 8 up but I mostly know adult players.

Does she have a glue gun? This was one of crafty Dads favourite gifts- that and a box of craft stuff like nice coloured card, decoupage stuff, pom-poms and little wooden bits to stick on things (she had teeny ladybirds and little stars IIRC) some Fimo… etc. basically hobbycraft in a box.
One year she got the three shelf trolly on wheels (plus the wooden “lid”) from IKEA with all crafty stuff in it. She still uses it now as a teenager!

Other hits - super fluffy blanket, cozy socks, bath bomb or bubble wand, a plant or fake plants, books and notebooks and stationery.

Thank you so much. There’s some wonderful ideas on here for all prices which has given me hope for when relatives start asking about presents for her birthday and Christmas.

I knew the Christmas board would not let me down!

Sol DeJaniro is a big thing for my 10 & 12yo DDs at the moment. They’ve got the genuine stuff and also bought themselves the dupe stuff from homebargins which they love just as much.
Second the fat quarters, Aldi do some good ones too.
Sewing box
Depending on your DDs level of experience, we got these for my dd when she first started out sewing and she loved them

This book on women through history is also popular in our house

Squishmellows
Oodies
fluffy socks
multipack of hot chocolates
I got my dd a hot chocolate station in homebargins a couple of years ago she loves. She refills it each year with mini candy canes, marshmallows and her favourite hot chocolates.
Christmas themed jar full of treats. My other dd dose not like hot chocolate so I filled a glass jar with Christmas theme full of her favourite sweets.
Hanging picture frames on a string for her room
Jellycat
New notebooks, pens, tape, basically anything stationary related goes down well.

Just asked my daughter who is 12 - she suggested a little hand-held mini printer that you can link to your phone? (I got her one recently and she has been using it loads to print out photos of the pets and her friends and similar - we have them stuck all over our fridge and noticeboard at home!)
