FAQ

What do 10 year olds want for their birthday?

Anything and everything, not a helpful answer I get it but it really depends on the child. If you know them, you’ll probably have a good idea of their interest and can base your choice on that (using our handy guide). If not my top recommendations are craft or creating present, pencils, Lego or anything they can make and do.

How much money should a 10-year-old get for their birthday?

This one differs for everyone but a good rule of thumb is $20-30. Unless you are a relative in which case you may want to increase it to up to $50, don’t feel pressured to it's entirely up to you.

Is the 10th birthday a milestone?

10 is a bit of a special birthday. The first double-digit birthday. Which while a bit off to grown-up is so exciting as a kid, for the first time you get to write two numbers for your age. 10 is the start of “grown-up” for lots of kids.
