Presents for a 10 year old?

pinknfluffy0

My daughter has her birthday before Christmas. I have her presents already for her bday but no idea what to get for Xmas.

She isn't in to any toys and very hard to buy for.

She loves acting and dancing

Does she rave about a favourite band yet?
What kind of dancing does she do/like?

No she doesn't have any favourite bands,

She does a mixture at stage school x

What about some new dancing clothes/shoes and a trip to the theatre?

She has a new kit due to growing, and my dad has booked her tickets already, should have got in there first x

Does she have a ClaireaBella bag or accessory yet? I love them, think they are very cute, and the canvas bag might come in useful for her for dance shoes/kit? -

DVDs of famous 'Shows'?
Costumes! I bet she would love dressing up (I don't mean Disney Type stuff - but perhaps stage costumes from shows - they occasionally get auctioned off or ebayed)
Who are her 'heroes'? could you perhaps get some signed photos and start an autograph album for her?

yes, thats a good idea too - I bought my DD West Side Story one Christmas, she loved it (I think she may have been 10 that year).

I have a 10yo DD and am finding it awkward cos lots of the things she is requesting I just don't believe she will be playing with by next Sept when she starts Secondary. Mine goes to drama classes and I have some ideas connected to that for her. This for when she needs to take costumes to shows

I've recently bought her a wolf onesie so it can double up as a costume for her in a part she's playing. I had to buy mine from ebay, but Primark had loads of different ones

She's also requested stompeez. Several girls on her recent yr 6 residential trip had them.

If your DD is yr 6 does she already have a phone ready for Secondary school? We are probably going to get DD a cheap payg for now and then a better one another year.

How much do you want to spend?
I teach 10 year olds and the following are some of the 'desirable' items that many of them either have or want:

mobile phone
kindle/tablet/ipad
Lamy fountain pen

The other things that spring to mind, given what you've said about your dd's likes:
Disco lights
Karaoke machine
Selection of DVDs of major musicals (or whatever type of acting/dancing she's into). The DVDs could be made into a film hamper with popcorn etc
Games that include mime
Bike/skates/scooter
Wii with a dance mat
Hair accessories
