Present ideas for 10yo

[tellybear]

DD is turning 10 very soon.

She's asked for Barbies and a colouring book.

I want to get her something a bit special to celebrate the double-digits.

Any ideas for a gift no more that £80.

If she likes Barbie stuff what about a playhouse?

This one is great and has the advantage of folding up so it doesn’t take up lots of space:

Does she have a Ken or any of the Barbies friends dolls?

What else does she like? Crafts? Sports? Reading?

She got handed down the Barbie house!

Not into craft at all.

Likes reading. Drama. Dance.

What are the Polaroid cameras like these days?

What about a new dance bag/leotard/ warm up gear etc (do her school have branded goods?)

Theatre tickets?

Don’t know about Polaroid’s, my D.C. have a waterproof digital camera which has been pretty useful and well used.

Is she into baking at all? My DD is 10 and had a food mixer for Christmas.

Absolutely no craft or cooking 😣
Which is a shame as I love both passionately.

Going to look at theater tickets. She quite easy joyed the play gone wrong when it was in at Christmas, I wonder if that's on anywhere.

My DN of same age loves this m.johnlewis.com/furreal-friends-makers-proto-max-interactive-pup/p3307023 She's also just got her first watch and she feels very grown up wearing it!
Lots of theatres do backstage tours. I've been on a couple in London (National Theatre and the Royal Opera House). They were both brilliant; we got to see the scenery being painted, rehearsals, costume department etc... We got a special deal when we did the Royal Opera House one with afternoon tea aswell.

If she has an iPod or iPad or similar, how about a wireless speaker so she can listen to music (or as my 10 year old DD would say - have dance parties ) in her room
