Frivolous clothes and a major phone upgrade

Plus I bought the earrings her brothers gave her

I am in the same boat, requests include a gym bag and a necklace.

My daughter is 12 in a few months and wants either a BMX or a laptop. The other will probably be her christmas gift.

For christmas last year she got Beats headphones which have been used every day since as well as iTunes vouchers.

I got my goddaughter new look vouchers for her 12th so she could feel independent going and choosing/buying her own clothes.

I know it's not the same as a main gift to your own child but thought I'd comment anyway incase it's helpful

Mine is 12 in a few weeks.

She is getting some sports equipment which she will be happy with, but it doesn't feel like a 'main' present.

Will watch this thread for ideas.

Thank you all for your ideas, much appreciated. She has actually mentioned a laptop a few months ago for homework but I'm not sure how expensive they are x

How about an instax mini camera?

My DD was 12 last year. She got a camera and one of those spider/octopus/tripody things. This year she would like stuff for her computer.

Drawing tablet

How about doing an activity together instead? We are taking DSD on a day trip of her choice as she couldn’t think of anything she wanted and didn’t want us to just buy “stuff” for the sake of it

My DD was 12 last week. From us she got clothes (mainly Adidas and New Look), a Pandora ring and earrings and an Echo Dot for her room.
