I love the idea of sending cards and maybe a little something. The idea of things trickling in from all over the US, Canada and beyond would give her something to look forward to!

What about things to pamper herself? lotion, a new hair brush, a little mirror, lip balm (my dd loved baby lips at that age), a head band or clips or something? Magazines, they have a few for that age range, sudoku or word searches, cute new pajama's or comfy clothes like yoga pants a cute t-shirt and new slippers.

My granddaughter is 11 and she loves art supplies. You can buy the "adult" coloring books that are much more intricate than regular coloring books. I bought her colored pencils, metallic crayons, glitter crayons, scented crayons and fluorescent crayons. She will color for hours.
She also loves Shopkins and Littlest Pet Shop toys.

Once again I thank you all for the wonderful suggestions. I will definitely check with her parents on some the items. It's her Dad that is my co-worker and he has had limited time in the office. The hospital where the daughter is is located two hours from us.
My heart is touched that you are willing to send cards. That is so very thoughtful and so very sweet. I will check on that with her parents.
My heartfelt thanks to you all. The Peas are just terrific!

My niece likes any kind of craft kit. She loves books about animals---fiction or nonfiction. that's obviously a personal preference, but you could possibly find out what subjects interest her and look for books about those topics instead.  She also likes those little shopkins things and she loves to draw or doodle, so paper and fun pens or colored pencils are always a hit with her. My 13 yr old niece likes the adult coloring books that are so popular right now. Both my nieces & nephews like the little brain teaser type puzzles that you manipulate---you know, along the lines of Rubik's cube, but they make all different 3-D puzzles so to speak. The kids that age also seem to like board and card games, so perhaps a game that is for her age bracket and doesn't take too long to play might be nice. Something she can do with someone else. |
