I need inspiration for a present (up to £25) for an 11 year girl. She loves bracelet making, posca / marker pens, bath bomb and lip balm making, clay dry clay and has plenty of these. She’s not huge fan of sewing or cross stitch. Any inspiration? Her birthday list is getting more to do with make up and toiletries and would to get her something to do on her birthday! Many thanks!
