Ten-year-old girls are a difficult age when it comes to giving gifts. They are still kids who love to play and have fun, but also prefer being treated like they are older. They have attitudes like teenagers one moment, and want to babied the next. Knowing what to get a 10-year-old girl for Christmas can be challenging, but with some effort and attention you can get her something she will truly enjoy. - Choose something that goes along with the child's current interests or hobby. This shows her that you are paying attention and want to help and be involved in what she loves. For example, a 10-year-old soccer player might love to get tickets to a big game or a workshop taught by well-known players. She might also like new equipment or her favorite team's jersey. This could apply to any sport that your daughter plays. For the dancer, you could buy tickets to a show or install a dance bar and mirrors in the house. The point is to look at what she likes to do and select things that involve her interests.
- Who doesn't like to be pampered? Treat your 10-year-old daughter to a day at a spa and make her feel like the young lady she is becoming. Give her a manicure and a facial and then take her on a shopping spree. Afterward, take her to dinner in one of her new outfits. To give this as a Christmas gift, make up a little card detailing the event and put a card from the spa in the box. Set it up for no more than a few days after Christmas so that it still feels like a Christmas present.
- Ten-year-old girls want to be treated as older kids, but they still cling to some of their old loves as well. Most of them still love stuffed animals. You usually can't go wrong if you give her one, especially if it is new and gets a lot of television advertising, such as the pillow pets in 2010.
- Electronics are big with 10-year-olds and include everything from laptops and netbook computers to music storage devices and cell phones. Your daughter will dote on you for quite a while if you get her the latest electronic device that allows her to connect with her friends or listen to music. And if the device comes with a built-in camera, you'll really score big. As of 2010, popular products include Apple iPods and iPhones. Before giving these gifts, however, make sure your daughter understands the implications and knows how to use the items safely.
- Don't forget the girly stuff. Any girl would love a real make up set at the age of 10. You could also set her up with every hair bow and hair accessory known to man in a storage box with a new brush. Or, create an accessories box with hats, gloves, belts and other items that she can use when she is getting dressed.
