[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was my 11 yr old DD's list -iphone and personalized case -Bubble skincare -Swiftly tech shirt from Lululemon -Jellycats -Owala water bottle in rose quartz -Kendra Scott hot pink heart necklace and matching heart earrings -Neon name sign for bedroom -wide leg sweatpants (brand not noted on this one) -Lego botanical set -New ice skating bag and other figure skating items (she figure skates) -fancy acrylic markers -tickets to broadway shows Dream big, kiddo :) [/quote] Wow out of all of this my 11 year old has asked for the phone and Owala. She already has an Owala because I really like mine and knew she would do and there is no phone in her immediate future. I’m grateful that she is not brand obsessed (yet).[/quote] This is my 11 yr old you seems to have all figured out. She's a great kid -- she is kind and easy-going and loves/does well in school (including making it into the selective advanced math track that started this year in our district). She loves figure skating, performing in her youth theater company, and writing/illustrating stories (as you can maybe glean from the list). Those things, along with school, occupy easily 90% of her time and mental energy. She doesn't sit around thinking about her appearance all day. But she is starting to think about it a bit more (which I think is normal) ... and yeah, she included trendy items b/c that is really all she knows in the skincare/fashion arena. If it wasn't clear, it's a wish list, and she's only getting fraction of the requests. Sometimes I think these people who are all like, "my kids don't really ask for much, blah, blah, blah..." have kids who generally get most of what they want whenever throughout the year, and that's why they don't "want" anything come the holidays. We really don't buy our kids "stuff" except on their birthdays and winter holidays. [/quote]
