She has a pet.
She has all the crafty stuff she wants - and many unopened sets TBH.
She has a camera.
She's got all the Lego she wants.
She isn't getting a tablet yet.
She has sat down with the Argos catalogue twice over the past 2 months and said she doesn't really want anything as she has everything she does want. She still hasn't spent her £40 Argos gift cards she got for her birthday back in July as there's nothing she really wants.
She's a reader - nothing she prefers to curling up on her bed with her e-reader.
Budget is £50-£75. Any ideas please...the 25th is looming and OH and I are stumped!

New duvet cover set and matching lamp in the characters she likes. Or a long mirror, vanity box etc.
Furniture for her bedroom.
I remember wrapping the duvet and pillow up, made a great present.
Weekend suitcase if you go away?
New lunch box.Never again will the wolf get so close to my door :eek:0 -
Maybe tickets for somewhere she'd like to go-zoo, theatre, theme park etc.
Could be a bit difficult if you have other children though.November GC- £322.43/£300. Dec - £364/£4000 -
Well if she likes reading I would go for a crazy amount of cash for books (not major crazy but as much as you would spend on her main present) I would usually say book tokens, but if she is into her e reader, could you load up an amazon card (or whatever she uses) with the proviso that it must be spent on books? I used to love getting heap of booktokens. I remember when as a kid £25 would buy you at least 5 books!! Oh for these days!! I know it sounds a bit boring and uninspired, but there is nothing more decadent for me.
If she is into it you could always take her for a "spa day" at a local salon - get a file and polish for fingers and toes then out for lunch with a mocktail - some girly time.0 -
does she play something online like moviestar planet or club penguin? DD and niece both asked for memberships as they play it together (usually with the phone attached to their ears for 3 hrs but thats another story)
clothes? DD is very into onesies at the moment, lives in the batman one!
what about starting a collection? DS when he was little got a snowglobe every year, had quite a collection by the time he grew out of them.
If shes girly, a jewellery box (was top of DD's list last year)
I shall continue to think lol, I thought I had it bad with a tomboy who has all the lego, cars, train track etc she could ever wish forSPC No 002 SPC(3) £285/£250 (4) £519.84/£500 (5) £768.32/£500 (6) £911.30/£600 (7) £913.23/£600 (8) £1184.82/£750 (9) £2864.04/£750 (10) £3846.25/£1000 (11) £1779.72/£1000 (12) £1596.55/£1000 (13) £1534.70/£1000 (14) £775.60/£1000 (15) £700.20/£1000 (16) £2081.34/£1000 (17) £1691.15/£1000 (18) £225/£10000 -

I'm flying our 6 year old to New York day after Boxing Day. She likes Madagascar (Central Park zoo) and all the New York Christmas movies so thought why not. Beats a box of beads.
Last year we flew her to see Disney on Ice in Toronto as they were running a Princess theme but she was more impressed with the helicopter ride over Niagara Falls.
