on

Because she’s growing up, but still totally into sparkles, crafts, and squishies.


Buying for a 10-year-old girl is that sweet spot between kid and tween. She’s probably still into playful things, but also suddenly interested in making slime, filming TikToks, and redecorating her bedroom… again.


Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, friend or just someone who drew the short straw in the gift-giving department — here’s a list of 20 tried-and-tested birthday gift ideas that are sure to put a smile on her face:


🎁 Creative & Crafty

  1. DIY Jewelry Kit – Beads, charms, and hours of concentration (aka peace and quiet).
  2. Paint-by-Numbers Set – For the artsy soul who likes a little guidance.
  3. Friendship Bracelet Loom – Bonus: you might get a handmade one in return!
  4. Customised Name Crayons or Stationery Set – Because everything’s better with your name on it.
  5. Slime Making Kit – Messy, magical, and somehow never gets old.


🧸 Cute & Collectible

  1. Squishmallows – Still going strong. The softer, the better.
  2. Mini Backpack or Crossbody Bag – Bonus points if it’s shaped like an animal or sparkly.
  3. Fidget Toy Bundle – Endless pop, spin, and squish action.
  4. Cute LED Night Light – Think: mushroom, cloud, or unicorn.
  5. Personalised Water Bottle – She’s hydrated and on trend.


📱 Tech & Tween Vibes

  1. Bluetooth Karaoke Microphone – Instant bedroom concert (and chaos).
  2. LED Strip Lights – Perfect for creating that vibey TikTok-ready room.
  3. Smartwatch for Kids – Simple ones with step counts, games, and alarms.
  4. Tablet Stand or Ring Light – For budding YouTubers or Roblox queens.
  5. Cute Phone Accessories (PopSockets, phone charms, cases) – Even if she’s borrowing your phone.


📚 Chill & Cozy

  1. Book Series Starter Set – Try The Land of Stories, Dork Diaries, or Amari and the Night Brothers.
  2. Journal or Lockable Diary – With glitter. Always with glitter.
  3. Comfy Oversized Hoodie or Blanket Hoodie – Basically wearable coziness.
  4. Scented Bath Bombs or Mini Spa Set – Because self-care starts young.
  5. Lava Lamp or Jellyfish Tank Light – Mesmerising AND a guaranteed “cool room” upgrade.


Final Thoughts

At 10, she’s a whirlwind of creativity, curiosity, and big feelings. The best gifts aren’t just the ones that light up — they’re the ones that spark imagination, independence, or just a whole lot of fun.
