The 10 year old that has everything...What do I get her for Christmas??
Answer:
That's a very young age to have "everything". By the sound of your list, she really does have everything. Maybe it's time to teach her to start cutting back. Remember, it's always better to give than to receive. The best thing she could do would be to take some of her things to a homeless shelter, Toys for Tots, Salvation Army or other such charity. Especially during the holidays. Show her how good it is to give instead of getting even more. Our daughter has had to go through her closet and bins every year around this time. Then, as the charity events start happening, she donates a little here or there. She's never complained and says it feels good. We always donate to the food bank this time of year so she sees us giving as well.
hint around to see what she want or buy more clothes
How about jewerly - diamond earrings or a gold or silver chain with her name printed in diamonds on a gold or silver plaque. Nowadays, kids love bling bling.
Well..there is no more to give. It looks like she gets what she wants year round. I would give something from her favorite store (like a top or sweater) and maybe in the future, cut down on year round gifts to be able to buy something special during holidays and birthdays.
Maybe it would be a great opportuntiy to spend quality time volunteering at a homeless shelter or food kitchen this Christmas.
Volunteering is an amazing, eyeopening experience for children who "have everything". A priceless life lesson.
Something to think about :)
Get her one nice piece of jewelry - gold earrings or a birthstone pendant. Then some clothes - maybe a leather jacket... What about ipod accessories?
Although, to be blunt, and it's really not my business, but if a child has "everything" - maybe they should consider giving back to the community.
How about things that aren't electronic like board games or books. My granddaughter is 11 and has two little sisters, too. I am also puzzled as to what to get her. She is really into her room right now and has asked for things for that. Cool bulletin board, shelves, pillows, sheets, that kind of stuff. Is that an option?
In the past I have gotten gift cards but have enclosed them with a small gift like a book or CD. We took her to a couple of concerts. She has expressed an interest in going to a Detroit Red Wings game.
Sports equipment for what sports she likes? New soccer ball? My granddaughter is into competitve cheer and we have gotten her items related to that.
Scouting? Things related to that.
Good luck!
I went to the store and bought a Rubbermaid tote and filled it with all kinds of clearance stuff - stickers, glue sticks, construction paper, glitter, feathers, beads, etc. We call it our "bored box" - she loves it, and she's almost 10.
If she's into sports, why not buy her tickets to one of her favorite events for just the 2 of you? I'm sure she'd love the quality time.
A lot of my daughter's friends are into scrapbooking. You could buy her some beginning supplies, maybe even lessons at an official scrapbooking store.
Or you could buy her a purse and fill it with little lip glosses and nail polishes, and throw in a gift card to her favorite store.

This list is coming from my 10 year old niece. There were numerous board games on this list as well. Hope this helps...Good luck!
why don't you just ask her what she wants for christmas. she seems to know what she likes
If she has everything that's your problem right there, none of my kids will ever say they have everything, because then there is nothing to hope for or to earn. but since the tight spot has already been created you need to think more about what she can use, not what is wanted so much as what would be useful, my daughter is picky so one year after being aggravated on what to get her, I bought 12 boxes and wrapped some of them inside each other and then in the smaller one there was a gift card, with a note that read "being picky is fine you see, so pick what you want but you'll have to use me". In another I bought a privacy net that hangs over the bed from the ceiling, since she always complained about her brothers starring at her while she was on her bed listening to her music or whatever. I got a journal to keep her thoughts in since she was now at the age where keeping your memories in a special place is cool, and also a scrapbook and camera with scrapbook materials, a few things of film and a pretty box that locked so she could keep her keepsakes in a brother proof place. Caitie was 1o last christmas and said it was the best one yet. Good luck.
Can I just relay some great advice I heard? I have three kids, so I am telling you this as a parent, not to judge you. (I'm a follower of Jesus, so I believe that I should not judge others.) Let your kids know that 'things' may make them happy, but it doesn't 'fill' them, or make them who they are. If everything they have was lost, destroyed, etc, they still need to know that they are whole human beings. . .it won't make them less of a person and it shouldn't make them feel UNhappy to not have 'everything'.
That being said, maybe some old fashioned board games is a place to start. Check out Toys R Us, they have some COOL games! And what girl doesn't love a new purse? What about scrapbooking stuff? (I, myself, am a HUGE scrapper and can't get enough!) Camera.
Good luck! :)
thats the thing if you really love someone you dont know what to get her but the best thing at least i think so is to spend time with daddy
get her a pet! i BET she dosen't have that! :) maybe you could get her some more clothes or room decor. electronics? DS, NINTENDOGS, MARIO KART DS? i'm her age, so i'll go with getting her a REALLY BIG GIFT! girls love to UNWRAP THINGS!
Maybe get her a sewing machine and a little fashion design kit for kids. If she is really into fashion, she would probably enjoy designing and making her own clothes. Since she loves to be out side if it's passable, clear a little place in your back yard and give her a little kit to start her own little flower garden or something. That way it lasts a long time and it will teach her to be responsible while doing something different. Then in the spring you could buy little butterflies and ladybugs for it.
And if she really does have "everything" try and teach her the gift of giving. That is one of the most important things any child could learn, though a lot of young kids would rather receive than give.
I tend to give "crafy gifts"...I have 3 boys so I have ALOT of fun shopping for "girl" b-days!!
You can buy crafts..make your own purses...decorate shoes.make your own candles...pottery...
Target has these in the "art" section..not toy section..or Hobby Lobby..or any craft specialty store.they are usually a big hit
A couple ideas.
Sports lover.maybe you could get her something autographed by her favorite athlete.
Since she likes to be outside, get her some camping stuff.sleeping bag, tent, etc etc etc, and take her on a camping trip this spring.
Since she has "everything," maybe you could also suggest to her getting a couple boxes of things she no longer uses and donating it to a charity. My kids like to do this during the holidays.it helps them get into the true spirit of the season.
You should probably get her tickets to a concert, because im just like that i have everything that i want and for my birthday my momma got me tickets for me and my two bestfriends to go see Omarion, Pretty Ricky, and Chingy. That was the greatest birthday present. so maybe she'll like it for a christmas present. Good Luck!!
A little brother for next Christmas.
