I have a 10yr old granddaughter, & I'm having a hard time thinking of good gift ideas for her. She's at that age that I really don't know what she's interested in anymore. At age 10, she is no longer a little child, but she's not a teen yet, either. She's a middle child (older brother is 16, younger sister is 6).
The last time she stayed with us for an extended visit we read a book to each other, & worked on some children's crafts. She'll soon be starting her 1st yr playing b-ball for her school. She is a creative & fun-loving child, but I also believe she has a inferiority complex, partly because she's a tiny bit overweight, & her little sis takes the limelight. I doubt if there's a gift out there that will help her with that though!
We're low-income, living on DH's soc. sec., so we can't spend a lot. I figure around $20-$25 is all I can afford for each of my grandchildren. I have more than 3 grandchildren to buy for, plus everyone else on my list.
Any suggestions?

I too have a 10 year old Grandaughter, middle child, brother 11 and sis 6...they are military and in Germany so I asked my daughter for a Christmas wish list from the kids to choose from. She is also a little on the heavy side so maybe this will help you a little, when I talked to her on the phone she said she listens to CD's a lot and wanted to know what was on her list her Mom sent to me. She likes Madonna, Brittiny Spears and the American Idols "06" new CD. I did buy her a Bratz doll, too...for some reason I think little girls, no matter what age, needs a doll for Christmas.

Why not start her a savings account.
Or you can go to the bank and get $25 "savings bonds" for only $12.50 for each of them !! You just cut your spending in half if you go that way!!!! : )
No time like the present to start them on the right track with putting money away!
Far to often kids get way too much crap anyway at Christmas time... It's the perfect time for you to make a change for the better.
If you can spend more next year, it would be great to get all the kids stock in a company. Some companies you can get into for as little as $50.oo and some offer "direct stock purchase" plans so you don't even need a broker!!
Be the grandma that did something for their financial future !!

So in order to find out what she IS interested in YOU need to ASK her.
