I literally just bought her new clothes that she really needed including 4 hoodies. I’m thinking more smaller items though. Like fluffy socks etc

Get her a couple of paperback books.
Look at the section for her age group.

Are the any teams she supports or artists she likes? You can get her something from their official store(s) or make a custom desk calendar with their pictures. Maybe a scarf or cute mittens as well if you want to do clothing items that aren't too big.

FcukBreastCancer · 06/11/2025 08:10

Jellycat toys
Crafting . (Crochet in our case). Clay set
Sol de janioro spray
Voucher. Gregs. Roblox in our case.
Books

Pin badges and stickers
Croc charms (also jellycat)
Fluffy cushion

Some of the above will be given by family.

FcukBreastCancer · 06/11/2025 08:13

Lanaige is a good shout and nike socks.

Has she tried some different books? Lottie brooks and the Holly Jackson murder series is good for that age

There you go.

fluffy socks
bath bombs
slippers
lip balm
toiletries bag
smellies
candles

Easier to buy smaller novelty gifts imo than find the bigger ones!

Sports socks
hair stuff like bobbles or a detabgler
a deodoriser for her sports bag
a nano Lego set or the Lego flowers/cactus set

That is an insane amount of money to spend on junk for a child that she doesn’t need. You’re literally buying stuff for the sake of having stuff to wrap up.

It’s not junk…200 is the ninja creamie, the necklace and bracelet was 80, the sports kit and bag was 90. The Victoria secrets spray was 25.
That’s practically 400 already.

I said my budget was 600-700. I didn’t say I was going to spend it all…

I’ve just bought leggings and bobbles that was 40quid
there’s a panda Lego set I saw that she would LOVE! That’s 30
so taking that into account it’s already at 440ish

she NEEDS
fluffy socks
nail Files
a new water bottle.
white Nike socks (she wears black Nike socks for school so doesn’t like to wear them as casual!)
I will go to primary to see if anything cute catches my eye.

I don’t buy tat…and I also don’t buy my dc an anything throughout the year unless it’s clothing.Or unless it’s for their birthday.

Delighted with the bits I got today! Thank you all for the suggestions and tips. She needed some of these things too, nearly there for dd.
went with new balance socks because I’m fed up of seeing Nike on her tbh 😂

Have you got her the Nike Flex hair ties? Those are excellent for sporty types and don't snag! You can also get some really snazzy looking glass nail files which are better for your nails - there's some on Amazon that come with little colourful cases so you can keep them in your bag without scratching up everything else in there.

Hope she has a lovely Christmas!

LoudPlumDog · 08/11/2025 16:01

Hair wrap
Satin pillowcases
Electric toothbrush
Adult colouring in book
Wallet

I love the idea of the custom desk calendar! Creative and useful!

Laiste · 08/11/2025 16:04

£600/£700 ?!? 😳

Sorry. I know we're all different but blimey that's a lot!

RosesAndHellebores · 08/11/2025 16:06

She won't read if she isn't encouraged to. Do you read?
