KristyND Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Hi, Can anyone give me recommendations for what 10-11yr girls are interested in ? I don't know her at all. Price range would be up to $50 and ideally would be able to get a few gifts for that price. I would also like to know what book series might be good for that age range. Thanks for the help!

KarenNC Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 (edited) Suggestions from my 11.5 yo daughter: Monster High dolls if she has a DS, some games/gift certificate for a place like Game Stop gift certificates: Target, Justice or other girl store if she has an ipod or mp3 player: gift certificate to iTunes book series: Monster High Dear Dumb Diary Dork Diaries Diary of a Wimpy Kid Eva Ibbotson books (the kid ones rather than the young adult ones, says Mom ;)) Carl Hiaason books (same caveat from Mom) Edited November 14, 2011 by KarenNC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangermom Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 My 11yo girl asked for knockoff Ugg boots and a pull-up bar (the kind you stick in a doorframe). She is also getting new scriptures and a Tintin book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KristyND Posted November 14, 2011 Author Share Posted November 14, 2011 Thanks for the book series suggestions! Unfortunately I don't know if she has a DS or ipod, also can't be gift cards, has to be actual gifts. I'm shopping for someone else and I've got a handle on every other age group, but don't know anything about preteen girls.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenNC Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Stocking stuffers: lip balms and lip glosses, nail polish (the wilder, the better :)), fun bath gels, earrings (though I guess you don't know if she has pierced ears), toe socks, funky mismatched socks, manicure/pedicure set. Other ideas, based on my daughter: things with peace signs on them, art supplies, sketch books, Betty and Veronica comic books (the double digests from the grocery store), magazine subscription to People StyleWatch (since it seems to focus on fashion rather than gossip), Kiki fashion magazine (fashion mag aimed at preteens without the relationship stuff), Cobblestone press mags like Muse or Odyssey, American Girl magazine, craft kits for things like knitting/friendship bracelets/jewelry making/bath stuff making/scrapbooking. Do you know clothing/shoe sizes or do you need something more generic than that? My daughter would also like some Uggs (realistically it would have to be a knock-off;)).

ma23peas Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I have two daughters 12/13 and they just spent the weekend at a birthday party for their friend turning 13...here is what is hot for them... Books: Mandie Series Eragon series Narnia series Items: Klutz books (Doodle Diary, All About Me, etc.) Burt's Bees lip balm Personalized items...monogrammed pillows (in their favorite color), clipboards with their name monogrammed..there are several local stores here that embroider, use adhesives with their name/designs, fun stuff. Find out their favorite color and get them a sack type bag (Vera Bradley and others make them) Jewelry kits: Make your own bottle cap/bracelets/necklaces etc. ITune music card if she has an Ipod or such. HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unicorn. Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Nail Polish in assorted colors. Percy Jackson Books are big w/ this age group. My dd says: crackle effects nail polish, jewelry (necklaces, bracelets), Kane Chronicles books, The 39 Clues books, a pillow pet, and a sock monkey. ETA: dd also says hair stuff: pony tail holders, head bands, stuff like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joker Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 My dds love the Klutz books and the American Girl arts/crafts books. They also like getting travel/trial size bottles of lotion, scented hand sanitizer, funky bracelets, lip gloss, scented chap stick, calendar, and magazine subscriptions.

5Wizards Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 (edited) The Mysterious Benedict Society books The Penderwicks books Lip gloss, nail polish, peace sign clothes like pp mentioned, black boots, itunes gift card, pretty/funky bracelets/necklaces, journal, book light for reading, don't know what they're called, but they're like leg warmers for the arms Edited November 14, 2011 by 5Wizards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarlaB Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 "Babycakes" cake pop maker :) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0050JRZR2/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=0307408833&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0KQC66CJRBP181EEBCK2 I just got one at Kohls for $24.99 w/ 30% off- so excited to give it to DD & my 10yo niece at Christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Mom4 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 DD10 wants a watch and new fleece pajamas. Fuzzy bunny slippers would also be very popular here. Some sort of crafty thing is always welcome - lately she ihas been into weaving, so I will probably look for a small loom-type thing so she can make potholders, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannqn Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 KarenNC's list is a great one. My 11 year old would enjoy the lip glosses, nail polish, toe socks, and funky socks. She has a subscription to American Girl and really looks forward to each issue. She's always going on about pillow pets, too. She likes sock monkeys. She loves super soft fuzzy things like throw pillows, blankets, and fuzzy socks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
