Hello
I have got my 9yr old dd her main pressie, a HSM diary pillow, stocking fillers and am doing her a girly hamper with some toiletries, make up, cheap jewellery i found in the sales during the year etc etc and a go go hamster. I have also brought her couple jeans / top outfits from Primark.
I am now struggling what else to buy her! It is also her birthday Christmas day too (she will be 10yrs old then!) and for that i am giving her a big toiletry bag with toiletries in i brought in the boots sale in Jan with a hair dryer and hair straightner set).
I need some ideas for some £10 - £20 presents...:o
She is at the age where she doesnt play with toys really (she does occasionally get out her Sylvanian family stuff, Pony rescue stuff and play with it).
Any ideas or inspiration would really help

Thank you. She does love jewellery but does have a charm bracelet already. It is one that was brought with charms already on and was about £15 so i could def look at getting her a more grown up bracelet that i could add a charm to each year for her birthday as it will have more meaning.Member of Thrifty Gifty ~ Making money for Christmas 2010:£2 Savers club member no 40 ~ £54Amazon Vouchers BingoPort ~ £10Dooyoo Challenge Jan ~ £24.07 / £20.00 Yippee over target :j0 -
How about a movie hamper? With cinema tickets, popcorn, drinks and choccies in. I di one of these for 11 year old DD birthday last year and she said it was the best pressie she got.If you’re British in the living room, what are you in the bathroom? European!0

I forgot to say my DD9 has also asked for Bendaroos and loves anything crafty or anything Hannah Montana related (I try to stay away from that stuff though lol)“A budget is telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went.” - Dave Ramsey0

Hi
My DD is also 9 ans she has requested [on her very long list!!!] The Hannah Montana DVd [The movie one], The Saturdays new CD, Hannah Montana Magazine Maker,
Boots sell lovely Glitter Babes bath sets that are on 3 for 2 so you can get them quite cheaply
My DD is at that horrible stage where she is too young for some stuff but too old for other stuff so I sympathise

PS Catherine Cassidy books [approx £4 ish from Amazon] are a HUGE hit.Projects made for craft fair - 40

Awww fantastic. You have all hit the nail on the head and i think my dd would love all of these.
