what does a 12 year old girl want as a gift? approx £10

[givemeaclue]

for DH's god daughter
no idea what she is in to - needs to be something generic

oh wise mumsnetters help me out (pref something I can buy online)

could you go for a funky handbag or purse given that she's probably going out and about with friends more now. I bought my 13yr old niece a rather funky bag by anna (can't remember the surname) on amazon. It came up after a search for "pauls boutique" and was alot cheaper.

itunes voucher
New Look voucher
Top Shop voucher

cold hard cash

Vouchers as above, maybe WH Smith for stationery. One that is good that my dd has received a couple of times is a Post Office 'one for All' voucher/card. Can be used in a variety of shops, eg New Look, Smiths, Boots, Argos, and many more that I can't remember! If she is anything like my daughter, they are beginning to browse through shops, and enjoy a little bit of independence.

I know cash can feel like a cop-out, but again, at this age, they like to have their own money to spend when out and about with parents/friends, or they often are saving up for something special.

Great ideas! Thanks all - have given her vouchers the last couple of years - boots/wh smith - think I gave boots at xmas.

on my shortlist then are the purse from amazon
the post office all in one voucher
the bracelets that are all the rage
cold hard cash

thanks v much all - sorted!

A lot of DS' friends seem to like Costa / Subway vouchers so that they can treat themselves to lunch / coffee when in town shopping - a step up from the chippy / McDonalds

have to say - wouldn't mind all these gifts myself!! loving the costa suggestion too

Does she have a phone? Credit is always appreciated!
