   HELP! 
 10 y/o's turning 11 in a couple week's - getting her an e-book thingy whats-it and a smiggle back pack (since she is the only one in the entire school without one and its so unfair!) but will be filling the pack with goodies.
 
 WHAT SHOULD I FILL IT WITH! She is very girly - my dilemma is that we want to get her "grown up presents" since she reminds us she is almost a teenager (ahem) but not to be toooo grown up. Already have mini nail polishes and a lockable diary, but need more ideas! Nothing too expensive as it's just little wee extras kinda thing.
 
 Please and thank you :)

   What a fab idea! You are a fun mum!Does she like having special relaxing time in the bath? Maybe a nice bubble bath? Magazine that she likes? Are her ears pierced?- you could get her some nice earrings that are cheap from Kmart/Equip...

   Something crafty?  Like some of that string stuff you use to make friendship bracelets with. Or some beads and things to make necklaces?

   OOO I like those ideas - friendship bracelets and bubbles! She would love making the bangles with her bestie that comes for sleep overs every other weekend. She doesn't currently have ears pierced as she is scared of the needle/clamp method as opposed to the gun method (no where in Nelson does gun method any more!) She loves 1 direction and Justin Beiber so was thinking of finding some of those magazines or something.

   Hey Jess, I got Jade's ears pierced for her birthday at the Wakefield chemist, they do them at the same time...its fantastic,  they have really cool 1st earring options too, so maybe she might be happy to get them done there?

   Missy I never even thought of Wakefield! She had them pierced but took them out and the holes closed over - years ago! The gun would make things a tonne easier!
