A girl for 10 years old will not give an adult gift like a large amount of money. And not because she does not appreciate it, most likely, the child will simply spend them on something that, according to adults, is completely useless. A much more girl will be glad if a gift is chosen specifically for her: according to her interests, needs or hobbies.
What to consider?
A gift is not so much a thing as emotions that it gives. Spontaneous gifts are also good, but in order for the child to feel the maximum of positive emotions when receiving a presentation, it is better to take care of the choice in advance. And so that the gift really becomes a joy for the little birthday girl, you need to select it taking into account the following factors.
- Hobbies. By the age of ten, children usually have a constant hobby, they often collect something. Choosing gifts related to the specific interests of the child is always a winning option.
- Benefit. Depending on the goals, gifts can be entertaining, informative, educational, or some other. If you decide on the purpose of the gift, the search circle will narrow significantly.
- Family ties. The girl may be the giver daughter, goddaughter, girlfriend. This also determines the relevance and inappropriateness of a particular gift.
- Price. If you designate a specific budget for a gift, then you can immediately discard too fanciful options or have complete freedom to choose an expensive present.
Presentation options for daughter or granddaughter
Parents always take care of their children, even when they buy gifts for them. The main thing for any parent is the safety of the gift for his child, the benefit, and even better - practicality.Grandparents are often guided by the same criteria when choosing a presentation.
A classic gift for a 10-year-old girl is dolls. By the first anniversary, the girl has not stopped playing toys, and will be happy with such a gift. This does not have to be the most common Barbie or its equivalent. You can choose more interesting options. Now they release a series of dolls, united by one plot or based on cartoons.
If a young birthday girl loves a movie, cartoon or fairy tale, you can look for a doll depicting her beloved character. Usually such dolls are accompanied by interesting clothes and themed accessories.
By the age of ten, many children begin to love independent reading. So the best gift option for a little fairy tale lover is this is a book.
For a little girl, you can consider the following options:
- children's fantasy: “Harry Potter” by J.K. Rowling, “Arthur and Minibuses” by L. Besson, “Tanya Grotter” by D. Emets and the like;
- children's science fiction: “The Adventures of Alice” by K. Bulychev;
- children's detectives: “Calle Blumquist” A. Lindgren, “Nancy Drew” K. Keen, series “Black Kitten” or “Detective Club”;
- children's encyclopedias, collections of tips, recipes;
- "Bad" tips.
An unusual gift is not always some kind of physical thing. It may be something intangible - impressions. In recent years, the tendency to give birthdays to attending events or places has been gaining momentum. Indeed, with such a gift you can get a much greater charge of joy and happiness than from standard toys, books and sweets.
If you make sure that photographs are taken during this event, it will remain as a memory forever.
Impressions are not the worst gift option, because the child will receive a huge positive charge and will remember this gift for a long time after the celebration itself.
As an impression for a ten-year-old girl, fit:
- master classes on the interests of the child: making chocolate, baking, modeling, drawing, designing, modeling and so on;
- visiting the water park, contact zoo, museum, horseback riding;
- children's quest rooms;
- children's experiment lab for especially curious girls;
- a trip on an excursion to where the girl dreamed of visiting;
- children's photo shoot specifically for the little princess.
For sports girls, something sporty will be a good gift: equipment, clothing, accessories. The main thing is to choose a gift commensurate with the hobbies of the birthday girl. Agree that giving a figure skating fan a soccer ball is not a good idea.
A bicycle, roller skates, and even a skate will be a good gift for a girl who was born in the warm season and likes to spend time outdoors. Accordingly, a sports enthusiast who was born in the winter will use sledges, ice skates, skis or even a snowboard.
By the age of ten, children usually find themselves some kind of hobby that they try to develop. It is important to encourage the beginnings of the child. And you can do this using some thematic set:
- a lover of physics and chemistry, kits for home experiments or growing crystals at home are suitable;
- a girl who loves plants will like a home mini-garden - these may be unusually decorated succulents or other plants;
- for a technically savvy girl, do-it-yourself kits or wooden models of animals, buildings, equipment are suitable;
- if a girl loves fashion and dressing up dolls, you can purchase sets of a young fashion designer or for making your own jewelry;
- for a needlewoman it is worth buying sets for embroidery or sewing,
- universal is a set for making soap, perfume sets, kits for making toys with your own hands.
The next gift option is jewelry. If the girl’s ears are pierced, it’s quite possible to give her a set of real “adult” earrings with reliable mounts.It can be either gold or silver with or without inserts. You can choose jewelry from special children's collections with a delicate design. But from the expensive bracelets and chains so far it is worth giving up. A ten-year-old girl can easily tear them up or lose them. So at this age it is better to give only jewelry of a similar orientation.
For a girl who wants to master some skill, a paid course will be an excellent gift. It can be acting or vocal courses, photography, wrestling.
It is important to consider that a ten-year-old girl is still a child. She can abandon a new hobby after a few lessons. This must be foreseen before the purchase and be prepared for this.
Girls can give board games. They not only contribute to the development of the child, but also carry away with their plot. Board games can always be played with friends or family in the evenings. This will give a lot of positive emotions not only on the birthday itself, but also on any other day in the process of playing and communicating with loved ones.
And of course, Not the last place in the list of gifts is children's cosmetics. By the age of ten, the girl begins to be quite actively interested in the world of fashion, beauty, including cosmetics. This usually comes from observing mom or other girls and women. You can purchase a set of baby-safe cosmetics or baby perfumes.
For many children, a pet is the perfect gift. But only parents can evaluate whether their daughter is ready for such a gift and decide whether they themselves are ready for such a gift.
It is important to explain to the child that the animal is a responsibility. The girl must understand that the animal is important to love, not to offend and take care of him.
It is unlikely that a ten-year-old girl will be able to provide the same dog with all the required care, but she can still do some of the things herself.
What can I give to my friend?
Ten-year-old girlfriends love to give each other gifts. Both the preparation process and the moment when the little friend is happy with the gift are equally enthralled by them. And it is friendly gifts that are most often as limited as possible in the budget.
The first thing that comes to the rescue is your own hands. You can make a bright card with your own hands and make your girlfriend happy with it. This is a banal decision, but even it can be beaten unusually. It is enough to search the Internet for interesting and interactive options, or purchase scrapbooking manuals with detailed instructions.
With the skill of knitting or sewing, everything is much simpler. A scarf, a stylish pillow, an interesting panama hat or a new fashionable outfit for your favorite doll - it’s worth a little thought, and you can come up with a million ideas.
And the best part is that for this idea, you will also need only hands and something from improvised materials.
If you have a small budget available, you can make a girlfriend sweet surprise. But this does not mean that you just need to present her a bunch of chocolates. Using colored paper, you can turn sweets into flowers, and collect flowers into a sweet bouquet. You can make animals out of "delicious" or make a bright poster with your girlfriend’s favorite sweets. It is enough to attach them with glue to a large sheet of paper, add decor and pleasant wishes.
A cool version of a homemade gift is a Tilda doll. Such dolls are easily sewn and look very cute and gentle. Also, Tilda can be dressed in home-made clothes, for example, repeating the image of a small birthday girl. This will make the gift doubly enjoyable.
How to congratulate my sister?

- a bedspread and pillows if, for example, a girl wants her room to look like a palace;
- own children's dressing table, like mom's;

A win-win option is jewelry, because who but the weather girls knows best what kind of jewelry to choose. Fashionable bracelets, chains, pendants - all that the girl who will give this gift will like is also available for the birthday girl.

To do this, take three quarters of a glass of salt, a glass of flour, five tablespoons of sunflower oil and a little warm water. The dough should be well molded and not stick to your hands. From such a test, you can make a full-fledged keychain or just an action figure. You can also make homemade chess: sculpt the figures from the dough, and make the board out of paper.

In addition, with your own hands you can make a stylish bezel decorated with ribbons, or a bezel with cat ears.
