Looking for gift ideas for a 12 year old girl that isn’t skincare, make-up, sprays etc (she has too much already!)
Thanks ☺️

Can we also do 9.5 years gift ideas for a girl. Ps. Not mascara. 😂
Sorry to hijack I’m clueless

My DD11 is looking for a mini projector, white over ear headphones, jellycat, football strip, football and pjs. Hope that helps!

DD12- earphones, straighteners, special foam pillow she’s asked for, Lego botanicals, new trainers, curly hair stuff, slick back hairbrush, grip socks

DD11 - phone, footy jersey, nail pens, shin guards, trainers, sports socks, Labrador cushion and fleece blanket (like our dog) for her bed, pjs

Mine is getting a chair for her room, wearable blanket, cuddle cushion, traitors game and finding book, crafts and kanoodle. For her birthday I bought new accessories for stuff she already had to regenerate her interest in those toys rather than starting new interests.

Jemma478 · 08/11/2026 19:14

Some fab ideas there, thanks so much everyone!

My 10 nearly 11 year old has Christmas and birthday close together. Things I've got clean to get

Kindle kids - big reader and she sleeps trying to pinch mine
Death note book
Death note pop figures
A dressing gown
New look 'uggs'
Gui gui slime
Moschino teddy perfume
Benefit mascara (sorry)
Bubble skincare set
Plan to get nice Colouring pens, fine liners and drawing book
Anything with highland cows on
Cuddle cushion
Hot water bottle
Monopoly and new versions of Uno card games
A jellycat
Death note hoodie
Sticker/room book
Daise jelly soap
Her birthday gift will be getting her ears pierced.
Japanese snacks sweets and noodles

We do a stocking so some of these gifts will be in the stocking and some will be from Santa (she still believes or desperately wants to!), and some from us and wider family.
She's really between wanting to play and wanting to have some grown up stuff. I've tried to get her things that will get used or align with her interests. She's asked for curlers and straighteners but I'm not doing that yet - presents for another year.
