Present inspiration for my 9yr old dd needed please

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

    Does she like Jewellery?? i'm getting my two girls a nice but resonably priced Pandora bracelet each, it has charms on it and I thought its something they can keep, just trying to decide what charms to get them as I want them to have meaning!! Should cost me about £30 each
    WIN £2008 in 2008 £1836.31 2009 wins - £91!!! 2010 wins in Oz $ 6170.... wins 2011 aprox $2000

    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.

  • 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.

    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)

  • 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

    Helen

    PS Catherine Cassidy books [approx £4 ish from Amazon] are a HUGE hit.
