Well, by hook or by crook, I have managed to pull together a birthday gift idea for a 10-year-old girl . . . Let’s skip the part where I am in denial that my daughter is going to be 10 years old in a few weeks, it just doesn’t seem possible?! That aside, buying presents for a ‘little girl’ was always easy: frilly skirts, baby dolls, and pretend playsets. I am finding that 10 years old is actually quite a difficult age to buy for, she is no longer in the little girl category, but she hasn’t quite made it to the teenager’s realm either?
Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids Edition
This wasn’t on my initial birthday list for Lillie, but when Albie knocked his glass of milk over last week, it went all over Lillie and Ollie’s tablets (note he managed to miss his own). Their tablets were not supposed to be on the table, mind you, but that’s a story for a different day. Now, neither of their tablets will work because the milk has been put into the charging socket.
Albie has the Amazon Fire Kids Edition, and I love all the features on it, so I think this would be the best tablet to get for Lillie now. Unfortunately, I won’t make the most of the magnificent deals they had on Amazon Prime Day, so I’m off to browse the deals at Digital Trends instead.
Gel-a-Peel Fashion Station Set
You’d have to be blind not to notice Lillie’s love of the Gel-a-Peel sets. I spotted this set whilst browsing the internet and think it would be a winner for sure. It is the perfect intersection of fashion and design. The fashion maker includes an innovative workstation to gel on fabrics and create gel fabrics easily! Gel-A-Peel allows you to express yourself through your designer creations!
Fab Lab Metallic Tattoos
When we were at my sister’s over the weekend, Lillie and her cousin had lots of fun adorning each other with these beautiful tattoos. There are a couple of festivals we are planning on attending this Summer, so these would be perfect festival attire for a young girl (and her Mummy to borrow). With four sheets full of eye-catching tattoo designs in 3-colour metallic prints (gold, silver & black) that can last up to 7 days!
Good Night Stories for Rebel Girls
Admittedly, we are a little late to the party on these books, but they have been on my radar for Lillie for a while. Lillie has bookshelves brimming with books, and I find it interesting to see the books she chooses to read night after night. A girl after my own heart, she is still a sucker for a good old Fairy Tale. These are fairy tales reinvented to inspire children with stories of 100 heroic women, from Elizabeth I to Serena Williams in book one and Nefertiti to Beyonce in book two.
I was looking over your article and found to be very useful and informative. I was very confused first what to gift to my niece on her 8th birthday. but after reading this blog I am clear now what to gift. Gifting fab lab metallic tattoos and fashion station set. I found to be very great ideas thanks for posting this stuff lots of love and happiness from India
