I have just bought two shamballa style bracelets for my daughter's friends who have recently turned 12.


My yr 7 daughter is quite young in her year and so not 12 til next summer but for her 11th we got her Doc Martins. For Christmas she has asked for not NHS glasses! She wants to choose her own frames. So it does seem to be all about appearance and fashion.

I got my ears pierced for my 11th birthday, which was about ten (*cough* twenty *cough*) years ago. Unless you know of specific interests, I'd go for nail varnish, books, cinema tokens, jewellery... My youngest brother (now 17) always likes Starbucks cards, as they allow him to go out with his friends.


I think a kindle is a wonderful idea, though expensive. You could load it with some books too - there are so many great books for that age group. Does she have an iPod (or other mp3 player)?

I suppose it depends on the type of girl she is. Outdoors type, then maybe a few horse riding lessons (although could turn into an expensive hobby). Girly type? Good haircut and lunch in a fancy restaurant. Bookish? Then definitely a Kindle Fire. If she gets a Fire then everyone else can get her vouchers for books and music. Pushing the boat out? Mini iPad! On second thoughts, maybe this is my wish list!


I hope she has a fabulous day! It's a very special time.

    • Farmers aren't being gifted anything; Their heirs are being gifted millions of pound worth of income generating assets by chance of birth. An estate that they have done nothing to earn. Most farms worth under £3m will still end up being passed on tax free. Those that do have to a pay inheritance tax will do so at just 20% on that part which is over the threshold (rather than the standard 40%), and they'll have 10 years to do so (usually it is payable immediately). So it is still preferential terms for those being gifted a multimillion pound estate So to repeat my previous question... Why do you think people coming into a massive, unearned windfall shouldn't pay any tax, but a nurse who works hard for everything they earn, should pay tax? ...as a result of increased energy prices. How would you like to see Reeves stem the long term decline in public services and infrastructure? Where would you raise taxes?
    • We recently used Jan at Silver Fern for some fencing and driveway works, he also built a side return shed which is now a water tight space for storage.    Would certainly recommend speaking to Jan for gardening or landscaping needs. http://www.silverfernlondon.co.uk [email protected]        
    • And the latest shocker, Inflation this morning was 2.3% up from 1.7& the previous month, a 0.6% increase in a month, that is dreadful. So Robber Reeves plan is already working (NOT). Inflation has begun to increase and will continue to do so, I predict the next set of unemployment figures will show a rise. Neither of these things can be blamed on the last Govt, it's down to the inept budget and impact it is having already.
    • Andrews and Arnold are brilliant https://www.aa.net.uk/. If there's any problems someone picks up the phone on the 2nd or 3rd ring and several times they have rung me immediately after I sent an e-mail. As they are primarily B2B, their support is excellent and there are a lot fewer miscommunications with OpenReach. Go to their website and enter your postcode which will show you exactly what type of broadband is available in your area.
