my 11 year old wanted an Echo Dot. (now she doesn't like it because she worries it can spy on her though)

My DD just turned 11. also wants an Alexa.

PP here. No iPod. I saw that Apple will only support IPod touches moving forward and we don't want the internet/texting capacity.

Does she have an ipod? Most are by Bluetooth. Just a basic simple ipod is needed. I think anything else like spotify would need apps from an ipod touch, tablet or a phone. Basic ipods are not too pricey (providing you have iTunes to load on them). Other mp3 players might work from a computer music library but I don't know.

In August my dd turned 11 and she wanted
slime
charms for her pandora bracelet
New cell phone and iPad case with headphones
Clothes, sneakers and chokers
Doll clothes
New room decor

My dd is 10.5.

She really likes spa stuff. Her and her friends play spa a lot. So face masks, eye covers (sleep masks), a diffuser, salts, makeup, etc.

A bose mini speaker sound dock if she doesn't have that already.

Some fun miscellaneous gift cards for a shopping spree or mall day?

I agree with a cool backpack. Mine is getting a fancy over priced backpack for Christmas because that's what she really wants.

Really good pastels or an expensive pencil or pencil crayon set if she likes art.

Yoga equipment and a dvd

Hunger Games books
Get her ears pierced (if not already)

Amazon Alexa

Monogram or name necklace. Engraved or the Scripty cut out type.
Ivivva Perfect your Practice jacket.
A designer phone case

Digital painting tablet

UE Boom speaker.
One of the cool cat backpacks at PB Teen or just google Cool cat backpack there are tons.
cute cross body bag
Fun leggings from Lucy

I'll keep thinking.

My daughter is turning 11 and (kill me now) likes to be "surprised" on her birthdays.
She doesn't want to give me a list of any sort "mom, you always buy me things I never even knew I wanted!"

Any ideas for a tween girl birthday gift?
I'm happy to buy a few smaller things or a larger gift up to $200.

Thank you for any thoughts!
