My recently turned 10 year old likes all the things on this list, but she also LOVES lego friends and still regularly plays with Barbies! She asked for a certain Barbie for her 10th birthday. I think this ENTIRELY depends on the 10 year old!

Omg the squish mallows. My kids have over a hundred stuffed animals already. |
+1 My DD8 would also be really disappointed with anything Taylor Swift. Unless you know the kids are fans please skip. |
I'm a 10 year old and we love this type of stuff keep at it good moms! ![]() |
Squishmallows or Palm Pals
Sanrio stuff Big sweatshirts, whatever their size is, buy 2-3 up Crocs and Jibbitz Art supplies The Creme Sanrio lip balms at Ulta Claw clips Owala water bottle Graphic novels - Babysitters Club, Reina Telgemeier, Goddess Girls series |
My soon to be 9 year old has asked for:
Craft supplies (nice pens/markers, journals, adult coloring books, bookmark making supplies) Ear muffs, Earrings, bracelet making accessories Accessories to decorate her room/bed area like a clip on reading lamp in a cute color, a floating shelf for decorations, posters. A skateboard Accessories for her dance class. |
My 8 year old would like all of these. My 10 year old would like all of them except the craft supplies (she's not much of a crafter) and already owns a skateboard. |
Finding this thread so helpful! If people have more book recs that would be great! |
For 9-10? Wingfeather Saga series Wrinkle in Time series (not for the very sensitive reader, though) Tuesdays at the Castle series Sophie Quire and the Last Storyguard Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes The Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place series anything Andrew Clements Alcatraz versus the Evil Librarians series Peter and the Starcatchers series Ella Enchanted Princess Academy series (some romance in there if your kid hates that) The Penderwicks series The Vanderbeekers series The Light Princess |
I love all these ideas now i know what to get my daughter for christmas |
Another idea is a Buddha Board. Took a risk on it last year (it’s $30) and my 9 yo daughter really likes it. It’s really cool. We’ve also had fun with a clay tool set from Amazon. My daughters have loved a neon sign in their name that companies on Amazon do custom. All her friends ask us to get it for them for their bdays. You have to order early, because it’s always a bit later arriving than they say. And they’re pricey, depending on how long the name is ($30-$50). My friend bought my girls Bogg copycat bags and they use them all the time. A UMBRA jewelry stand was a great gift that my daughter received that has been invaluable. Cool bookmarks or little lanterns/lights. Last summer, my girls and the neighbors (we have a pool) spent the entire summer playing in cheap mermaid tail bathing suits from Amazon. They also liked plastic mermaid tail flippers. They also love little Bluetooth speakers that they can dance and sing to. They also pretended they were waitresses in a restaurant they owned with little order pads and aprons that I got from Amazon that are for real waitresses. They enjoy crafts, so blank canvasses, fabric paints, etc. were all used. |
Lots of good ideas here, adding sewing/ crochet/ knitting kits as lots of her friends seem to be in to those activities lately. |
They would like squishys no Barbies or dolls but America American dolls |
I am a 10 year old and I am into skincare and makeup and softball and anything preppy. |
