Help please! What to buy for Christmas...  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 40/100. bonnitabelle (130) 6 years ago

My daughter is 12 years old and wants Bratz dolls for Christmas. She doesn't play with the ones that she was given last year, so I don't really want to waste the money buying them for nothing. Does anyone have any ideas as to other things that I could get for her? When I ask her, her response is the same - "I don't know". And Clothes are not an option since she will be getting all kinds of gift certificates to pick up clothes with.

Thanks everyone for your responses and Happy Holidays!

My daughter is 9 and wants Bratz for christmas also..She has tons of them already and very seldom plays with them..Bratz are very expensive and I told myself,this year..she'll only get one..I have asked her what else she would like and she gave me some clues..So,my advise is..just find something else she is interested in..I got my daughter a really nice Bratz scrapbook for her birthday..she works on it all the time.


myLot reputation of 40/100. bonnitabelle (130)  6 years ago

A scrapbook is a great idea. It's something that she can keep also in a memory box that I'm thinking about getting her. Thanks!!!


myLot reputation of 55/100. richelle19_80 (115)  6 years ago

Scrapbook=GREAT...Bratz Doll=NOT SO GREAT. Have you really looked at those dolls? They look like little hookers. Is that what you want modeled for your daughter?



myLot reputation of 97/100. deebomb (10022)  6 years ago

very good you are right Most of the clothes for young girls look like hookers

My daughter is 13, and last year I got her a digital camera. She absolutely loves it, she uses it all the time, and it is a good hobby for her. I didn't buy top of the line, just a starter digital camera, this year she wants another memory card, because she doesn't want to delete any of the pictures she took. She is really in photography now and she is getting pretty good at it. Do you think your daughter would enjoy something like that?


myLot reputation of 40/100. bonnitabelle (130)  6 years ago

That was her birthday present. She loves it. Thank you for the idea though.

I know it can be hard...my son is 14 and I had no idea what to get him...then I thought well he is growing up..so things for his room would be good....Maybe ..you could do that with your daughter...A new duvet set..or radio..or whatever you think she could use....


myLot reputation of 40/100. bonnitabelle (130)  6 years ago

That's a great idea. She was looking at a couple different bedding sets. Maybe we'll redecorate her room for Christmas.


myLot reputation of 95/100. prncesssly (708)  6 years ago

I think this is a spectacular idea. I would have never thought of it! Too bad I don't have a daughter whom i can do this for.

I'm just stuck on what to get for my husband! :-/


myLot reputation of 98/100. patgalca (6608)  6 years ago

Yeah, aren't men so difficult to buy for! My husband has enough golf balls and golf shirts. He inherited a lot of clothes from my Dad when he passed. I usually buy him a new country CD every year but now it seems like he is hooked on one CD - the only one he will listen to - Faith Hill.


myLot reputation of 75/100. ffnstuff (184)  6 years ago

looking through a few responses i like this idea. maybe a few small things she could open, then let her pick out some other stuff?


myLot reputation of 40/100. bonnitabelle (130)  6 years ago

Thank you all for the comments and ideas. I agree about the men being hard to shop for though.


myLot reputation of 94/100. sedel1027 (12989)  6 years ago

That is a great idea. Last year we redecorated my sons bath room for his birthday last year. He loved the surprise.

I think your daughter has a lot of ideal gifts in mind that she want to recieve this holidays...that's why she answers "i don't know" :) i wish i was a child again hehhe happy holidays!


myLot reputation of 40/100. bonnitabelle (130)  6 years ago

you still have time for this one but not much. Tell her she needs to make a list or you will not get her anything but a gift card. and If you don't want to try that one does she have any interest? Play an insterment? My oldest son plays the bass in a band so my family always knows he need srting and all the extras that go with it. By the way he is 14. My 13 year old son is harder to pay for he don't have any thing he is really in to other than games. I don't want to buy him games becaus of the gift card thing. H ave you started her a hope chest? I know it is an old fashtion thing but it iwll help her out so much in the long run I have one for each boy and I get them one thing for it at each gift giving time. You can try this, Just a few ideals.


enjoy

myLot reputation of 40/100. bonnitabelle (130)  6 years ago

A hope chest is something I'm looking at starting. Thank you for your idea.

Hi! How about some different crafting kits, like the bead kits for making jewelry, a kit to make her own jewelry box, a paint by number set,or even those large posters to color? They might bring out some creativity in her and she might find a hobby she really enjoys. Hope that helps! :-)


myLot reputation of 40/100. bonnitabelle (130)  6 years ago

The beads are not a good idea in my house. We are constantly picking them up off the floor. I actually picked up a jewelery box kit where you can decorate the outside of it. Thank you for your ideas.
