Gifts for 10 year old girls
Ten-year-olds want things that feel a little grown-up: an instant camera, their own headphones, a smart watch, lights for the bedroom. Crafts still win at sleepovers, so a bracelet kit or nail set is the cheaper gift that gets used.

Best gift overall
1. Instax Mini 12
Selfie lens and mirror · 54 x 86mm, credit-card size · About 5 seconds
The instant camera ten-year-olds ask for by name, printing credit-card-sized photos in about five seconds. The listing confirms automatic flash, a selfie lens and mirror, and that it takes any instax mini film. Film is the ongoing cost, so add a pack or two to the gift.

Best headphones
2. iClever BTH18 Kids Wireless Headphones
43 hours (lights off) · USB-C · 74/85dBA
Her own wireless headphones, with the volume capped at 74 or 85dBA to protect young ears. The listing gives 43 hours of playback, Bluetooth 5.3, USB-C charging and an AUX cable for wired use. The LED lights may look young to some ten-year-olds, and the 43-hour figure is with them off.

Best smart watch
3. BIGGERFIVE Brave 2 Kids Smart Watch
1.8 inch touch · Steps, heart rate and sleep · 80
A grown-up looking fitness watch for a ten-year-old who wants to compare steps with her friends. The listing confirms a 1.8-inch touch screen, heart rate and sleep tracking, 80 sports modes and IP68 waterproofing, and says it works without a phone. It has no calling or location features, so it will not tell you where she is.

Best for her room
4. Mexllex 10m LED Strip Lights
Timer and music sync · 10m · Remote and phone app
LED strip lights are how a ten-year-old makes her bedroom feel like hers. The listing confirms 10 metres of colour-changing lights, control by remote or phone app, and a built-in mic so they pulse with music. Check how they fix before they go round painted walls.

6. Style Girlz Adjustable Light-Up Roller Skates
Adjusts across 4 shoe sizes · Small 9 to 12.5, Medium 13 to 4 · Light up as she skates
Light-up roller skates for the park or a roller disco party, adjusting across four shoe sizes as she grows. The listing offers small (9 to 12.5) and medium (13 to 4) sizes with a quick-lock fastening that supports the ankle. Most ten-year-olds will need the medium, and a girl already in a size 4 will outgrow it soon.

Best for singing
7. MicQutr Wireless Karaoke Microphone with Lights
A karaoke microphone with a speaker built in, so she can sing along to songs played from a phone. The listing confirms Bluetooth, separate volume controls for the backing track and the microphone, echo control and lights. The listing calls it surprisingly loud, which is worth knowing before a sleepover.

Best craft kit
8. Galt Friendship Bracelets Craft Kit
7+ · Threads, beads, stickers and a guide
Friendship bracelets are the craft of Years 5 and 6, made at sleepovers and swapped at school. Galt's kit is marked 7+ and includes threads, beads, stickers and a guide to braiding and knotting. It is pitched at beginners, so a girl who already makes bracelets would get more from a big bead kit.

Best for artists

Chosen from what is selling on Amazon UK in each category on the day we checked, inside the price cap, and only if it was in stock. Ordered by how useful the gift is to the person it is for, then price. We have not handled these products: the write-ups rest on what each listing states. Prices and stock are checked daily.
Prices are Amazon UK and eBay UK at the time we last checked; they move daily, so confirm on the retailer's page. We earn a small commission if you buy through our links, at no cost to you. It never changes the order. More about how we work.
