My daughter never wants anything..... it's really hard to buy for her. When she was 9, I was so short of ideas I bought her a couple of guniea pigs :green:
This year I am thinking of some kind of lizard!
Someone bought her a subscription to National Geographic Kids magazine - she loves that and when it arrives on the doorstep she's always really chuffed. Am going to get her a Jacqueline Wilson magazine subscription. (Not sure what the mags called.)
Had she got a DS? PS? Mobile phone? Ours hardly get used tbh but I normally dig out the DS for long car journeys. Portable dvd player for car journeys?
How about a day out shopping with Mum choosing stuff and nice lunch. We like Carluccio's and Pizza Express for good kids menu. Although now she's discovered Jamie's Italian
I say she doesn't want anything but when we're actually in Claires Accessories looking at lip balms, one is never enough!
Last year I got tickets for Lion King, that went down really well. Lucy is like me in that way though, she would rather have an 'experience' than a material object.
We have also done a course together at Soap School.
The reason it's so hard these days is because kids don't go without, so they're not hanging out for their birthday to get something like we were when we were kids. That's why I like to 'do' things, rather than buy things.
