I love the yarn tree kit below

The Yarn Tree Kit

I’m very excited about this kit. I think it’s a brilliant idea and one that I might buy my 10 year old niece this Christmas.
The idea is simple. Wrap the yarn around the wire tree in the design that you prefer. Once completed you can mould the branches however you require. It can then be used as a jewelry tree (better than a jewelry box). Or why not wrap lights around it and have it as a pretty light and ornament displayed in your bedroom.
Each tree completed will be unique as people will use different colored yarns and mould their branches differently.

Jewelry making Kits

Music Gifts

If she’s very musical this can open up a whole host of ideas. Would she appreciate a new musical instrument or would she like lessons on how to play one. Does she like listening to music. Would she like her first mp3 player. Or perhaps a music voucher from itunes.
If she loves to sing a karaoke machine is another idea.

One player says a word and the race is on for the others to sing a song containing that word.
