I'm at a loss this year on what to get my 9 year old daughter for Christmas. I'm looking for ideas. I will ask her and have her create a list, but still want some ideas.
She's not into video games. She's artistic and loves to draw (she found a youtube channel where someone shows you how to draw and she follows it perfectly). She won't ride a bike but she loves our trampoline. She got an American Girl doll last year with clothes and other family members got her some accessories and she hasn't touched any of it in months. She has drawing supplies (though maybe she could use more). She's not into movies though she does like to read (and we bought her some books from the book fair and Amazon).
Does she have an ipad? You can buy books and download them to it. She can watch you tube channel on it wherever she goes. Cozmo he is a robot, stamina folding trampoline to use indoors, DIY fluffy slime kit, she sounds like a unique grandchild

She's my daughter.
She doesn't have an iPad as we don't have Apple products. She has a Kindle though she doesn't use it much. I had to ban slime when she was playing with it and it got stuck to the couch.
Micheal's always has a good sale on sketchbooks just before Christmas, and sometimes on the good quality art pencils, charcoal, etc. She might like some drawing books too, but she'd need to pick those out herself.
Gift card for a art supply store. Gift card for clothing store. A IOU to sign up for a art class in the future. Some communities/cities have great classes to explore art. Maybe a community college offers some community classes, drawing, painting, pottery. Maybe a pottery class where she can create, glaze and fire pottery, but let her pick what medium she would like to try.
essentially...whatever she could talk with her friends about.
my daughter 'caught the social bug' around 10.
she just had to "match" her friends until
she found a boyfriend.
way back then, my wife got her a diary.
even today, i am not allowed to look.
Does she know how to ride a bike? My youngest was very comfortable on his razor scooter, but hesitant about learning to ride a 2 wheeler. Once we finally got him onto the bike, I think that the balance that he had learned on the scoooter really helped him to quickly master the bike. So if it's that she isn't comfortable yet riding the 2 wheeler, I'd try a good scooter for her.
My nine year old and seven year old girls love it when we sign them up for some type of subscription box.
This website does a great job of listing all different types of boxes. You can sort by age or by interest. So far, my kids have enjoyed Kiwi Crate (STEM), a few different baking boxes, and a spy box.
Most of them can be recurring monthly, for a few months, or even just individual boxes.
