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

    i had those as a kid, with clamp boards where you could plug in resistors, transistors, switches, diodes, a spool and in later editions even simple IC’s, speakers, lamps, a potentionmeter and so on; was powered by a 9V battery and you could build a radio, flipflop’s, alarm circuits and so on; i spent countless hours with that, was called Elektro Technik by Kosmos. They still have similar stuff on https://store.thamesandkosmos.com/ from what i saw, even if there aren’t as many expansions as i had, but instead there’s more robotics stuff (which is probably more fun for kids anyways)

      Found it, this was the comment you were pointing me to right? I’ll save it and I’m going to dig through all these sites/suggestions on Friday night/ Saturday to narrow it all down. Those do look cool! Thanks
