My mistake. I'm obviously addressing the wrong age group

Is there a site for 7 year old girls? hmmgrin

Oh Rosequartz, you old cynic grin grin. Lizzi50 do you live in The UK? Just wondering... And if you joined gransnet, what age group did you imagine subscribers to be? Weird

All those replies translate as "7 is far too young to follow trends in anything." Peer pressure to have what everyone else has, whatever the cost in money or hassle to parents, will come to bear on her soon enough. If you are a gran, your role is to let her be a child while she can and ignore fashions.

Do you mean what should you get her for Christmas? That is where we grans are good at sharing ideas.

Yes..... wee ones do have trending, I.e. whatever toy or fashion item is in vogue...but I usually try and avoid these if I think they are a rip off.

I didn't see any problem with original post.....

I'm told that pogo sticks are a favourite this year but it won't be from me....thinking twisted ankles.

I've got a world globe and a microscope set for my 8 year old dgd.
Plus a goodie bag of nail polish, lippy, sharpener, sticky notes, etc.

As her birthday is a couple of weeks before Christmas, for that she is getting a horse riding hat, and a girly afternoon, just the two of us, to the local theatre panto which gives a matinee showing for £9 each.

Oh! as you are signed up to Gransnet I would have thought there was a clue there somewhere.

If you want wisdom and sense listen to us otherwise go somewhere else.

If you are going to be rude, yes, your mistake if you are going to start advertising before Christmas to get grandparents to spend their money on -- useless rubbish-- the latest gifts, yes.

Our 6 year old GD has just had a magic set and early science experiment set for Birthday presents. She was delighted! She also got a lot of Disney fairy type merchandise, pleased about that as well!

Trending ? For 7 year old girls? confused

Presumably what some adult somewhere who should think of better ways to spend their time decides, rather sad in my opinion.

Trending? What ever the shops feel they can make a fast buck on.
Those dreadful onesies were trending in fashion last year. I could not imagine a less flattering garment I wonder how much money was wasted on them for them never to be seen again.
Until some daft beggar a few years hence, who missed out on these last year, thinks this might be a good idea to make a fast buck.

Will 7 year old DGD look at me in bemusement if I ask her 'what's trending'?
confused
Is this leading to an advert?

Blimey! Do things trend for little ones? Mine were in school uniform and workaday clothes other times with toys!!!!

lizzi50 Mon 19-Oct-15 09:08:34

She's into all things feminine such as jewellery, nail polish and has lots of do-it-yourself kits. That doesn't mean to say she wouldn't enjoy something similar if it was a variation and trending at school.
