10yr old neice birthday gift ideas?

[Eleoura]

Would like something a little bit special, but not much open currently. Likes hair things and craft. Max £30.

my 10yo and her friends like Smiggle, but they grow out of it fast, so could be worth checking. Stuff from Lush, cute jewellery from Etsy.

Watercolour pens or pencils with a book of proper watercolour weight paper?

Posca pens! There’s a YouTuber called Mariah Eliza who does craft / art activities and swears by these. Bought them for 11 y o for Christmas and they are brilliant. For £30 you can get a mix of thin / wide nibs.
Otherwise- artezza watercolour brush pens. Also £& but also brilliant.

House of Crafts do nice quality sets for various crafts. houseofcrafts.co.uk/ and on Amazon.

Etsy is your friend lots of unusual things on there, craft kit for her to make.

My Dds favourite presents are always the slightly out there ones, at 10 I bought her an ammonite necklace and at 11 I bought her a genuine Roman ring, she wears both everyday and both cost £15ish on etsy.

I have bought quite a few crafty girls a tie dye kit and some white t-shirts to dye. The kits are suitable for them to do with minimal supervision and not a massive long project.

We've also enjoyed Love Rock painting with posca pens.
Acrylic paints and a decent pad of paper.
Watercolour pencils.
My daughter likes playing with small toys so the air baked clay (polymer clay) has entertained her for hours making small things to use in her games.
