Christmas Gifts for Girls Age 11
Eleven is an exploratory age, for this reason a child's interests can include a wide range of subjects. Because of this, the gift giver is at an advantage as he is not limited to a small pool of acceptable gifts. The most important thing to consider when buying your Christmas gift is the girl's personal interests. Ask her---or her parents---what types of activities she enjoys. Does she participate in sports or clubs? Whether she enjoys reading or bike riding, you'll have a starting point for picking out an appropriate Christmas gift.

There are a number of kits that might appeal to an 11-year-old girl. Kits are all-inclusive and provide an opportunity for a girl to show her creativity and learn something new. Origami kits are loaded with supplies for folding paper in the traditional Japanese style. Jewelry making kits come with colorful materials for making bracelets and necklaces. Science kits cover everything from rock collecting to chemistry. Drawing, pottery and art kits are popular among creative 11-year-olds. Regardless of her personal interests, there will be a kit to suit the 11-year-old girl on your Christmas list. Kits are available in craft and discount stores.
Tickets
-
Eleven-year-old girls are becoming interested in teen heartthrobs. Consider buying tickets to one of their concerts. If the girl is interested in acting, take her to a professional musical performance in her area. If she is interested in astronomy, she will appreciate an outing to a planetarium. You can also put together an IOU booklet of various activities that you will finance throughout the year, such as a coupon she can present in exchange for a ticket to the movies, or a day at the amusement park. If she is interested in sports, present her with tickets to a game. If the sport is out of season, include tickets in the IOU booklet.

Lessons
-
Lessons make thoughtful Christmas gifts. Many young girls dream of being a dancer, so you may consider purchasing ballet, tap or jazz lessons. Or, for something more unconventional, give pottery, a second language, horseback riding or acting classes. Classes give 11-year-old girls a chance to learn something new and provide an outlet for socializing and making new friends.
