She doesn't own a mobile telephone, a DS wotsit, or any other gadgetry things and doesn't really show much interest in them anyway. She loves to draw, paint, create, write ( she is a brilliant, poetic writer, being a fluent reader when she was 5, her love of words is astonishing ) even at this tender age I do think writing is something that may develop and who knows I could have an aspiring author on my hands. One gift that I truly think would be perfect for her and I had I not be sent it by the team over at The Great Toy Guide for her and I to review, I would certainly would have had it on my birthday list for her.
It truly is a wonderful crafty item for any creative child, and soooooooooooo pretty to look at too. Please feel free to keep a look out on the Great Toy Guide for our review, which shall be posted shortly.
So, off to search for some more inspirations I can see me at this rate leaving it all very last minute but if you have any suggestions on what present an 8 nearly 9 year old could receive that would make her eyes shine and her face light up. A bit like shen her little brother got his tardis, boy, he could barely take it in, that he had his very own tardis to play with, he was ecstatic. And I so would love to see her face light up with joy the same way when she unwraps her gift from us.

oh I love the knitting set , the case is reminiscent of Emma Bridgewater!
ReplyDeleteI remember when I got my first knitting set and I really loved it. I think it looked a little like the one in your picture only not so fancy. I'm sure it would be a super gift for her.

How about a class of some sort? In Brighton they run classes making pottery etc for parents and children. Or a cookery class for parents and kids? Bit different and fun.
ReplyDeleteHello you ;o) How about a pretty vintage typewriter?
ReplyDeleteCan you still get ribbon for typewriters? Even better - can you get coloured ink ribbon???

ReplyDeletehhhmm my middle one is 8 as she is quite hard to buy for too. I did buy her a cd player for one birthday as she loves singing, it is pink and round and has a radio too. She is always having little parties in her room with her sister and brother.
