Some items for her room that she asked for; fairy lights, some "more grown up and cool" throw blanket and pillows for her bed, art supplies(nice ones), books she asked for, logic puzzle, clothes, she REALLY wants an echo dot, I got her stage makeup to have fun with because she likes that sort of thing(making herself look like a zombie, or an old man....) She's into the dramatic arts  She also asked for a chemistry set.
She is almost 11. Maybe sports supplies, or books about a famous athlete or musician that is inspiring? Games to play together or with a sibling or on her own. POsters for room, Art work for room, Organization supplies that are "fancy", science kit? |

They are hard to get now, so I would get whatever is available for a reasonable price! I got one daughter a Remix and another that was a big OMG and came with a little sister. I'm not sure what it's called. |

Sorry for the mini-hijack, but we did this one year and our kids still love playing ukulele years later. It's a really easy instrument to learn and sound good on quickly (many chords only require one or two fingers, and the instrument is kid-sized). Books are fine, but YouTube is where it's at for learning uke! So many choices. Have her check out The Ukulele Teacher and/or Cynthia Lin for many good beginner videos, or you can search a name of a song you like on Youtube "+ukulele" and there's almost always someone who's put that song into an easy key so you can play and sing it. |

Comfortable, soft clothes
Pajamas Several books Cookbook & zoom cooking lessons with grandma Ski helmet Birthstone necklace Super soft fuzzy sock/slippers Ticket to Ride (game for family) We’ve been debating getting her a phone or a SIM card for her existing iPhone that she uses like a iPod. I think we’ve decided to wait on that (at the recommendation of her school advisor and our own feelings about smart phones and kids) but let her take the iPod to school so she can communicate with us if necessary, and feel a little more grown up. She knows she’s not allowed to use it during school and is respectful of that. She also knows we will check (and there are time limits and parental controls on everything). She claims most of her friends have phones but we know that isn’t totally the case, it’s about 50/50. She turned 11 in October and is in 6th grade. Her holiday list was 4 things, a book, clothes, giving to others and learning to make a soufflé with her grandmother, which we are doing over zoom this week. We “adopted” 5 local children in need and she picked out gifts and clothes for them. She also has helped me choose and wrap gifts for her younger siblings. Ever since we told her the “truth” about Santa and invited her to join us in being a Santa and making Christmas magic happen for others she has fully embraced it. |
