DD is 11 and so far the only thing she’s asked for is a Lush gift set.

Following with interest Smile

DD just wrote her list (subject to changes and extensions...)

DVDs - the last two Harry Potter ones
Books - the new HP screenplay
Fitbit or similar
Jewellery stand to sort out the mess in her box
Magazine subscription
Smartphone gloves

She will also get from us
Decent headphones
Red Panda experience

Family present are Cirque du Soler tickets

Thankyou so much for your ideas . It’s getting so difficult kids have so much these days .My dd’s friends are into pink clothing so expensive Shock .. So far I did buy a sweat top in the sale for Xmas but I can’t afford their prices .. I also got her a pink fluffy blanket from Dunelm and bed socks from M&S

I'm getting my 12 year old neice a 30 minute drivi g experience. Something different, sick of buying the same old smellies, make up etc.

We will get the Red Panda one at Longleat.

Bit of a story, I want to see the Koalas there next year, so the trip will be my present incl. a Red Panda experience as they are one of my favourite animals. Unfortunately they are also DD’s ones. So in order to avoid mayhem, DD and I will both get one. The Koala trip is then my birthday present, I am an early December baby.

I just ask them for a list , and get them something from the list.

What about a prepaid master card and you and she get up really early on Boxing Day and go to the sales? If she likes to shop that is.
I got my dd skullcandy women's knockout on ear headphones from amazon. They come on a little iridescent pouch. They were £90 now they're £20.
My daughter loves benefit blushers they have some lovely Christmas gift sets and makeup and brushes etc are 3 for 2 in boots at the minute.
What about a trip or a gig? I took my dd to Manchester for a night recently we saw a show and had an amazing afternoon tea in the Richmond tea rooms.
Lush is always good there will be plenty of bargains about online for Black Friday. If she's into technology there are some amazing Alexa bundles on amazon at the minute.

DD is 11. She is quite young for her age. So far I am thinking:
memory upgrade for her Smart mini7 phone
smartphone gloves
Nutcracker & 4 Realms DVD
Misty Copeland autobiography
