I was thinking of getting her make up, but not sure if that's wrong for my youngest neice. I won't lie, I hardly ever get to see her and I don't have kids of my own. I do know she likes something called You and Me bears and am getting her one of those as well. If make up is acceptable then where should I get it, I've got Friday off work to do my Xmas shopping.

Really depends on the ten year old although for the most part I'd say no. A nail varnish set maybe or some perfume.

All little girls at that age love to dress up and if its childrens make up i dont see a problem with it. I have a grown up daughter who wouldve loved it. x
Me to You bears are amazing and Ducky can vouch for me on this
I wouldn't buy make-up for a 10 year old, Poolie but maybe I'm old-fashioned.
Poolie I would never consider buying a 10 yr old make up.
What about a CD or a DVD ?

Some girls at work said Make up was a no no, some said ok, I like the idea of the nail Varnish thingy, where do I get one?
Flavoured/fun lip glosses maybe but I wouldn't go for eye or face make up TBH.

Boots or Superdrug.

I think it will be fine - she'll enjoy making her face up.
I remember getting a box of purple and lilac eyeshadow and "Twilight Teaser" lipstick when I was around that age- never went out in public wearing it though.

This is sooo confusing! . Which shops do these make up nail varnish thingy's for kids her age? At least if I see them in person I can make a decision on it there and then.
Former Member
If the make up is just to play with in the house, i dont see a problem, my daughter used to have my lipstick etc. I dont like wee girls with nail polish on... get a gift voucher for HMV cant go wrong there
Former Member
If it's confusing then just get her something else
Just go to Boots or Superdrug ............I'm fairly certain they'll have a 'young' range of stuff.

Let her have her childhood
Yes.
If you`re struggling - a nice pair of pyjamas is always acceptable.

Unless she has short hair, lots of pinky things for her hair would probably make her happy.

I seem to be in the minority here, but little girls love dressing up. As long as it is in the house, i think it is ok. My daughters bedroom used to be filled with her friends dressing up , maybe different days now, She is 26 now and went thru the Spice Girls thing. Once she hit 16 and going out up town different rules!! I used to clomp around with my mums stuff on, high heels, make up etc Its just fun and part of a girls childhood IMO But as i say, certainly not for going outside
Former Member
People tend to have strong views on this kind of thing....think you should ask her mum/dad what they think of the idea Poolie
Former Member
To young for make up,best to run it past her mum if you are going down that line,try this site

Soops and Erin...............good posts/ideas
Maybe check with her parents about the make-up/nail varnish thing first?
If it's ok, then some glitter nail varnish is nice. Or find out what she likes or what colours (again, from her parents), Claire's accessories do some lovely stuff for little lassies, blingy and twinkly and all that.
If she likes Glee, then tickets to their tour might be an idea? Or the Xmas album or the other DVD they've got out? I've always thought girls were easier to buy for than boys.

You're right there. I have twop boys and a girl ...........they're grown up noe but it's the same old story ......................I could buy, buy, buy for my girlie but boys are a nightmare!
I don`t understand the dimella
If in doubt, buy something else - it`s as simple as that.

Mine are under 10 and they loved the halloween makeup they put on.
Its all down to personal choice, My youngest got some barbie glosses and varnish last year and loved it.

Sorry I've not replied earlier, nodded off. I 'll go for the glittery nail thing, seems a safe bet.

Don't make him undecided now

Mecca for girlies of this age

I thought it was worth a mention unless he knows she's a girlie girl and into that sort of stuff, it may not be well received. I would have hated it

Apart from those who hate it, like me.

I think makeup is completely wrong for a 10 year old. Someone gave my daughter makeup for her 10th birthday and I was furious; it went straight to the charity shop. Little girts don't look nice or cute covered in makeup, even if they are just playing around indoors.
I don't agree at all that all little girls love dressing up - mine certainly didn't and neither did most of her friends. I don't like things which reinforce stereotypes,but especially things which sexualise children at such a young age.

And I think nail varnish is just as bad - it is full of chemicals which will damage tender young nails, as will nail varnish remover. Plus if she wears it into school, there is every chance that they will make her remove any nail varnish with acetone which will be even harsher. I suppose as a last resort perfume is sort of acceptable for a 10 year old, but I think a DVD or something that is not gender stereotypical would be much better.

I didn't either Growly And I also don't like gender stereotype things... I had train sets, cars and lego when I was little - so much cooler than the 'girls toys'
Former Member
Yes, I had lots of toy cars and lego when I was little, and I loved my collection of little plastic cowboys and indians. But I was never allowed to have a train set I was really careful not to force girly type toys and clothes on Growly Jnr, and to let her pick what she seemed to like. My mother in law bought her a baby doll when she was about five, and was really upset when Jnr said it was horrible It got abused for a while and then went to a boot sale

Some of them are proper creepy looking though!
I had one doll when i was a kid that i was thrilled with...Tiny tears and that was only cos she pee'd herself.
My neice is 11 and my daughter is 8, i think 10 is a little old for 'play' make up but a little young for real 'grown up' make up, for my neice i have bought Cheryl Coles new album and a sparkly purse with a sparkly charm to match.
I think the nail varnish idea is good but maybe check with her mum first? You never know she may ever suggest something from her list you could get her, atleast then you know its something she wants.
Both my neice and daughter LOVE new clothes so maybe an outfit? maybe take a female friend along to help you pick one out?
