It is my daughters birthday at the end of February and she will be ten. The problem I have is what do you buy a ten year old girl wh has everything she wants? Now before you think she is spoilt (in having what she wants), she never asks for anything. I have just asked her what she would like for her birthday and apart from the usual reply of a horse (whatever!!!) she would like a surprise. I also asked her what she would like to do for her birthday, er yeah she also wants a surprise..
She would get a surprise if we did nothing and bought her nothing.. SURPRISE !!! How cruel..hehehe
So if anyone has any ideas or advice as to what I can get her and a special way we can celebrate her birthday I would be very grateful ( so will she as she may get nothing if it is left to me !!)

I have the same problem Sarah, C will be 9 next saturday and she really doesn't know what she wants and I am all out of ideas! Is your daughter a "girly girl"? maybe you could do little makeovers? bit of sparkly nail polish and hair braiding perhaps? Sometimes they just like something a little bit different! As for gifts, how about a book and themed things that go with it? Hope that helps!

Em's birthday is at the end of January too and at the moment the only ideas is a couple of DVDs. Jane x
is she into or could she get into crafting? there is always scrap book paper, stamps etc... or fabric and books on making toys. we got em a cheap digital camera for christmas and some scrap book paper so she can start that. i find it hard too - emily reads so i can always get her books etc....
one party we had which was sucessful was a 'Cluedo' party - everyone dressed as a character and then they played the game, ate pizza and had cake and had a fabulous time.
goodluck

How about a little sewing box of her own with some fat quarters, felt and necessary notions, maybe a little pattern or cross stitch too. I re-covered a very cheap sewing box from the charity shop for my girl for Christmas and she loves it. John Lewis have a fabulous little red sewing machine for under £50 (not sure of your budget here!). You could then do a craft at home - felt brooches for example - with some friends for the party.
Last year, for E's 11th we went to the hairdressers with 3 of her pals and they got their hair done and a little bit of make up too. Great fun for the curly to go straight and the straight to get curls for the afternoon. We had a couple of smashing updos too!
Have fun deciding and Happy New Year. Bx
I was thinking a nice sewing box, or knitting set!
Or if she is a techno girl, what about a camera or Ipod shuffle from Apple with her name engraved on the back of it.
Sorry I am stuck for anymore ideas.

I have sons so girls are a mystery to me but the camera idea is a good one. I bought my son a digital camera a few years ago and it turns out he has a great eye for photography.
Good luck
I have got my neice who will be 10 soon,a cd of the BBC reading of A Secret Garden,she has a dvd player & I think she will like listening to this :o)
what about asking her to plan her ideal day,maybe a place to go or just staying in doing exactly what she wants? Having some of her pals over for a fairy cake cooking afternoon,with lots of sprinkles & pretty cases to decorate them wiht?

Birthdays can be so tricky! I always end up buying Dot lots and lots of books - it's what she always asks for anyway! And crafty sets that I have put together always go down well too! Good luck, Lucy x
Is she interested in crafting/sewing etc? Maybe a sewing machine. I wish I had learnt to use one at that age!
I'm not very good with girls I'm afraid , my parents got me a little sewing machine off Bidup TV for £20 for christmas, books are good too or even a little jewellery making kit or if she likes helping in your garden you could get some seeds and things ?

Tricky one! My daughter is also 10 and I find it gets harder every year (boys are so much easier).
I got Jess a sewing machine for christmas which she was thrilled with and I find you can't go wrong with arty crafty bits.
As for doing something, a sleepover always goes down a treat.
I hope this helps a bit.
Take care
