I have a non girly 13 year old DD to buy for and have no ideas. She likes harry potter and science stuff. Not into make up etc at all.

Any thoughts? I am majorly struggling. She's just had her bday and has a new phone.

I also have a not very girly 13 year old. She has dr marten boots. Lego flowers, pjs, jellycat, rolife book book and starry nights set, leather bound sketchbook, a ring and necklace. Shower foam, fidgets and uno so far for her stocking oh and very expensive but almost free hair ties from Anthropologie with my £20 voucher 😂

My dd is a bit older but has SEN (so acts much younger). I have got her a book nook and an adult marble run thing to build. She will also be getting some art supplies, water colours, sketch books and air drying clay.

Other ideas…..tickets or a pass to their favourite place or to see a band? Clothes? Dr Marten boots? Board game? Cinema vouchers?

one of the best presents my dd got was a crisp hamper that my DM made for her, she still talks about it years after 🤣.

My dd likes collectable anime figures, band t-shirts, posters, cds and records, teddies, Switch games, craft stuff for scrapbooking

Also got her some stranger things converse and some mens jeans with a leather belt

Some body stuff like Wild which has eco friendly packaging rather than girly gift sets

Science kits
Kinetic sand
3d puzzle set
If she's into tech, could be a kid-friendly video editing software or a music composition app
Arts and crafts supplies?
Lava lamp

Raspberry pi?

If she likes Harry Potter she may like the His Dark Materials books, I read them at that age.

Does she like electronics? Mine had a proper soldering iron , some kits and bits when she was about 12.
proper Lego and/or k’nex not the ‘girlie’ stuff.

Scheepjes Colour Packs!
Knitting needles/ crochet. Definitely gets good brand like KnitPro Zing. Not the grey cheaper ones, I find they tend to bend after a while but then again I might be a tense knitter 😄
Maybe some fun crochet books or knitting . There’s a pick and mix book for people, animals, all sorts! Edward's Imaginarium. The original first book is dead easy and explanation’s/diagrams are fantastic (Edward's Menagerie)
fimo clay and fimo clay book for miniatures, animals or jewellery/beads. Possibilities are endless! Don’t get the other makes of Clay- Fimo is best
