Mrs Tiggywinkle Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) She loves Little House on The Prairie and Harry Potter, but hasn’t found other books that she’s really liked. She loves everything Pokémon, and spends most of her free time creating and drawing new Pokémon and then writing their backstories. She has a ton of art supplies. She loves unique little collectible things like tiny snow globes or flipazoos. But again, she has a lot and we downsized dramatically this year. I don’t have room for extra stuff IYKWIM. The board game closet is full. She doesn’t really like clothes and has plenty anyway. Any creative ideas? I’m stumped.

MeaganS Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 My Pokémon crazy girls (all 4 of them) love t-shirts (there's a cute pikachu one at target right now that's feminine). They also love Pokémon stuffed animals and Switch games. There are also all sorts of Pokémon art/craft kits like sewing or crocheting you could do. We're making my 6yo a Pokémon themed cornhole set with pokeball bean bags for Christmas. Since she likes making stories so much, maybe one of those self-publishing book kits like this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 We got our adult Pokémon lover a Pokémon waffle maker—quirky but fun. Random ten year old favorites here: a flip book making kit that came with a light board and supplies; a “bendable” Sculpey kit for making stop motions. I would tailor these toward Pokémon, or go with some other artsy craftsy Pokémon kits. Display or “house” for the flipazoos or other collections? Any chance she likes Lego? Harry Potter Lego—so many possibilities! DD has enjoyed those but we are a Lego family anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She used to love assembling fairy gardens so these look amazing!! People come up with the most creative things. No Legos. I don’t know why. My kids are weird. I thought about a display case for the flipazoos, but she carries them around in a little drawstring bag and sorts and lines them up fairly frequently. She’s not even my autistic child, but she’s the one who is always lining up her favorite things. I did find a Pokémon book I think she’ll like, it’s one of those find the object in a picture things. She also really, really loves tacos lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Kareni This is one of my favorite book series, but I don’t know if it’s the best for a 9 yr old. It’s totally clean, so maybe…but it’s more teen and above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terabith Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 If she likes Little House of the Prairie, I'm wondering if she's read The Birchbark House series? What about Chronicles of Narnia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HomeAgain Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 What about a book kit? You can make one yourself with a box that you put everything in. Like, if you wanted to do Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, you could put in the book, a little poetry journal & pen, a pretty bar of soap, some old-timey candies, and a packet of flowers to plant. You can do it with any book, but give her a bit more interest in it (and all the better if the other things are consumable!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alte Veste Academy Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 If you think she would enjoy digital art, that’s about the age my DD got her first drawing tablet. She’s 17 now, and on an upgraded version of the same brand (Wacom). She is an amazing artist, and starting down this path helped her learn so many modern digital art skills. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanaqui Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Is that the Wrede series where she said the Americas were more wild because all the Native Americans had been killed and had not been there "preparing the land" to be settled? Major foot in mouth, and then she doubled down. (And, what, all of Afro-Eurasia had been "tamer" during the ice age? Yeah, right.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tap Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Do you know anyone who makes T-shirts? What about having her drawings of Pokemon scanned and making a shirt for her? If she likes lining things up, I would imagine she would like a grid design. The easiest way to describe what I mean, is the Brady Bunch Show grid with thier pictures. IF you think she would like it, but you aren't sure which ones to pick, you could give her the shirt for Christmas and tell her what the plan is, and let her help design it as part of her gift. For a gift....room decorations? New sheets or art work? Maybe her own but framed? Or a cluster of frames that are about the size she likes to draw, maybe a 6"x6"? And let her draw her own art work? A shelf for her room so she can organize and line up her friends, but also tuck them in her bag when she wants too? Room atomizer and essential oils or salt lamp? A new backpack or draw string bag? Does she do any sports? Fun socks for her sport like tie dye soccer socks or florescent volleyball socks? Swim suit and swimming lessons if she can't already swim? If she goes to church, a new Bible or bag for church? Fun snacks or foods you don't usually buy? Sugar cereals, gummies or candies (Trader Joes is great for this), her own bag of chips that she doesn't have to share etc. Jerky or peperoni? Sodas or fun juices? Gift cards for Starbucks in a reusable Starbucks cup feels pretty grown up at that age. Or special hot chocoalates, teas or latte powders. Gift card or cash for ice cream shops, buffalo wings, hamburger, etc... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carol in Cal. Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Another good series that might suit her is Half Magic and the following books. Or The Saturdays and the following books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanin Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 Did she read all of the Little House series? There's a "spin off" series about Laura's daughter, Rose... I can't remember the author at the moment. Maybe someone else can help. I loved those, too! I think the author of the series was a family friend of Rose. Ooh, got it! Roger MacBride. The series is called the Rose Years, and the first book is "Little House on Rocky Ridge." 🥰 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0064404781?ref_=dbs_m_mng_rwt_calw_tpbk_0&storeType=ebooks&qid=1639331599&sr=8-2 I think that Rose is about 9 in this series, at least at the beginning!
