It can be overwhelming finding a good enough gift for a 10-year-old girl. Whether it’s a birthday gift for your daughter or a Christmas gift for a girl you know who’s aged 10, there’s a lot of pressure to choose something she’ll love. Of course, every child is different. But I’ve found that most girls around the age of 10 adore presents that teach them something or help them to express themselves. Look for gifts that inspire imagination and creativity as well as those that are educational.
Regardless of your budget or your relationship with her, the perfect present for you is out there! Check out this list of the top gifts for girls the age of 10 in the UK that are sure to please.

Gift to share with friends for a 10 year old girl
This gift is a fun activity for her to do with a friend. It is also a great way to teach generosity because she can make some pieces to give to others.
2. Colour Changing Bluetooth Speaker
Room decor for a 10-year-old girl
While this colour changing bluetooth speaker seems trendy, it will also help her become more responsible. In addition to playing music, it also acts as an alarm clock so she can start getting herself up in the mornings.

A wonderful gift to get a girl for her 10th birthday
Wondering what’s the best gift for a 10-year-old-girl? A hoverboard scooter, of course! These gadgets are loads of fun while also teaching poise and balance. This will definitely be the kind of gift she shows off to her friends!
This purple hoverboard is a great gift thanks to its futuristic design. But if you’d like to go for another outdoors gift that’s a little more retro, you could always opt for some good old-fashioned skates.

Trendy gift for a 10-year-old girl
Japanese culture has become very popular with kids and teens in recent years. Pair that with a gift for someone with a sweet tooth and you get a fun Japanese candy kit. The best part is that she gets to eat her project when it’s done.
