As a parent, it can’t be easy knowing that now that your little one is entering the double digits, She’s entering her pre-teen years, which means that she’s developing her own likes, dislikes, and way of thinking. Now that your little one is getting independent, it can be tricky to try to get her something that she’ll love and that will encourage her to explore her interests.
You can get her gifts that she can enjoy alone or with her friends. It can be tough to choose something for your little girl if she is passionate about so many things or if she has too many hobbies. This is why here we’ll give you a list of gift ideas that you can select as a birthday gift for your 10-year-old daughter.
Following are birthday gift ideas for a 10-year-old:
1. Craft gifts to channel creativity.
If you have a daughter who loves arts and crafts projects, we have a couple of ideas for you. For a daughter who is obsessed with the latest tie-dye trends going around, why not get her a tie-dye craft kit that she can use for t-shirts, socks, scarves, pajama bottoms, and more?
We have other options like string art kits, finger painting kits, DIY jewelry kits, felting kits, color and crayon sets, learn-to-sew kits, and so much more. These gifts can help you bond with her—something that you can teach her and do with her together, as well as satisfy her creative curiosity.
2. Educational gift ideas
When your daughter is curious about knowledge, it can be difficult to answer all of her questions or give her the information that she wants. If she’s into science, you can choose from our collection of books and book sets that cover a variety of topics ranging from mathematics, history, general knowledge, physics, biology, research books, and more as per her requirements (beginner to advanced). If she’s a budding literature fan, we also have classics from different authors and great sets to get them started.
Get her a journaling kit or a set of diaries to get her started on writing; it also provides her with a healthy output to talk about how she feels, her experiences, and things she cannot say out loud to anyone else.
3. Jewelry gifts
A lot of little girls love to imitate their moms, wear jewelry, and act like grown-ups. So, why not get her some jewelry of her own and get her started on her own collection? There are a lot of different types of jewelry to choose from, like earrings, bracelets, pendants, rings, sets, and more.
You can choose from jewelry pieces with initials; you can even customize the pieces with her name, specific texts, or even phrases. Jewelry gifts are really sentimental for both you and her; these gifts can be preserved for a long time, and someday they might even have nostalgic value for your daughter.
4. Clothing gifts for every age
Nowadays, little girls and boys have this need to dress up well and look good. This might be a fairly new cultural change for you, as they’re your children, but you might as well help them with it. These things have become really important for your children, as they also help them explore different styles and how they feel about themselves.
At For Daughter, we have different clothing items for every age, may it be little kids, teens, or adults. You can select from options like casual wear (shirts, leggings, tops, and pajamas) and special occasion clothes (dresses, outfits, rompers, wedding outfits, and Halloween dresses).
5. Accessory gifts for her style
As a young girl, you want your daughter to look good and feel good about herself because you know she’s emotionally fragile (not mature). As an adult, you know how much of an impact what you wear has on how you feel; things like clothes, accessories, and shoes do just that. So, get her accessory pieces, no matter if they’re loud or dull, big or small. Encourage her to explore and accept her choices and her own style right from when she’s young.
Choose from hair accessories like headbands, scarves, pins, ribbons, scrunchies, and what not. For the head, accessories go for hats, caps, beanies, etc. There are also sling bags, backpacks, clutches, purses, and more in different sizes and styles that any little girl would like. Young girls love fluffy, cozy items, so fluffy sliders and socks are a must-have gift.
6. Sporty gifts for an athletic daughter
Children of this age are usually very athletic; they love to play different sports or participate in different activities, and as a parent, there’s nothing more precious than watching your little one be so passionate about something. You can gift the things that would help her, be used to her in hobbies or activities. You can choose from the following things: athletic clothes, shoes, a digital watch for timing, a personalized t-shirt, a trampoline, roller skates, customized skateboards, duffel bags, a cute helmet, knee pads, etc.
7. Cute Décor Items
Gift your daughter décor items that she wants or that she’ll like and can use in her space. Nothing says cute like cute lights and lamps that would make her space look almost magical. Choose from fairy lights, dainty lights, string lights, Disney-themed lights, and neon lights (in various shapes and sizes). Make sure that you don’t pick a light that’s too bright or a weird color; have lights with dimming or color-changing options that your daughter can change whenever. You can also pick lights with clips that she can hang polaroids (of her friends, family members, pets, etc.) on, which is a very trendy option these days.
Another good item is a groovy or lava lamp that’s calming on the eyes, something she can look at until she falls asleep. These lamps don’t get hot, so you can rest easily. One of the most popular décor gifts is plushies. No kid won’t love some cute, fluffy plushies to rest with or hug. We have various themed plushies: cartoons, Disney, animations, animals, etc. Not only are they washable, but they are also a great option if your little one is scared to sleep all by herself.
8. Fun games for every age
With the pandemic and quarantines, it’s not been easy to be a kid, especially one that has to stay in the house. This can be hard on them as well as you; for them, they feel bored easily, and for you, it’s to keep them entertained with digital devices. This is why you need games, which are the ideal gifts for both you and your daughter.
Popular games:
- Pictionary

The following things are perfect if you want to give your daughter a trendy gift: make your own slime sets, DIY nail kits, bath bomb sets, easy bake ovens, mermaid tail blankets, and light letter boards.
These gifts won’t just be trendy, but they’ll also help you gain the title of ‘cool parent’. Now, is there anything more exciting for a parent? I don’t think so.
10. Beauty-related gifts
Even as a 10-year-old, your daughter seems to be really interested in the glittery and new world of beauty products (makeup and otherwise). Instead of her playing with your expensive products, get her some products for kids!

Choose a gift that will push, interest, and inspire your 10-year-olds’ imaginations.
