Would prefer it to not be “hair” 'makeup" girlish oriented, but rather something challenging for her mind. I am her Uncle, and would like something maybe aimed at DIY outside of Lego if you know what I mean. Budget is small, maybe 39.99? Can move either way if needed

Advice, much needed as a 36 y/o male with no kids

    My favourite book when I was young was The Way Things Work.
    It might have a few outdated references, but it’s still really interesting stuff. The full adder section actually helped in the first year of my engineering degree.

      Haha, that was a top one for me, too! Also the DK visual encyclopedia and Kingfisher Science Encyclopedia.
