Default Suggestions please - b/day present for 11yo neice...

Not quite sure what to go for.
She has two younger brothers and many things become communal "family" stuff so would like to get something girly that the boys wouldn't be interested in.
Also something a bit more grown up maybe.
We took her shopping before for a couple of outfits and she loved getting the funkier stuff from the likes of Gap and Next, her mother dresses her like she dresses herself (frump) but she loves cooler stuff. Unfortunately, the mother wouldn't take her shopping for funky gear so vouchers are out and we don't want to be seen as spoiling her by taking her shopping too frequently.

Any suggestions up to about 50 quid that fit the bill?

(I want get ear pierce voucher but my missus doesn't want to deal with the fallout when the mother (her sister) ***** herself )

what about a watch?

Surprising how many 11 year olds still struggle with telling the time

Watch could be possible but they seem to be really cheap (and look it) or a bit fancy.

Keep em coming...

If she loved the shopping why not get your wife to take her to have a manicure or something similar, most 11 yr olds are now acting more like 16 year olds Then on the way back buy her some more clothes

A back or ankle tattoo or belly piercing? or if not you could always ask her what she'd like?
