............so what do we get her for Xmas?
It's her 2nd birthday on january too which makes it harder. The problem is we want to get her something as the other two, 7 and 5 will be upset that FC left her out.
Any ideas?!! Help!!!

I have just bought DD a new dolls buggy - I worried that it was only £12 (I bought the 'expensive' one on purpose!) but she won't know any difference. I have also bought her some nice bits for her bedroom as she's moving into a bed, a puzzle and have bought a till and play food for her and DS to share.

Thank you ....but.....she already has a special bear friend and doesn't play with the rest of her cuddlies.
She has her own dolly and has the use of her sisters large collection, we already have lots of puzzles, play food kitchen stuff etc.
Did I mention older 2 have been over induldged by in laws.blush
Clothes are a good idea, she likes clothes - and dressing up but we have a lot of those already blush
She's about to go into her own bedroom so room things are a good idea. Her big sis is getting a dressing table for her present , any ideas for 2 yo things for bedrooms - lots of space as only has small bed and chest of drawers to go in new room at the moment.

A very nice beanbag?
A toddler armchair?
A lovely duvet cover or quilt?
Cushions?
A bedside rug?

Not v exciting but would be a present at least in the siblings eyes:
those material bags to keep toys in with a theme that she might like
big beanbag to flop on for her room (ds1 2.5 loves his)
or those squishy chairs?
(jojomamanbebe do nice ones but they are pricey, but if that's here main presents should be ok?)

OOh I like the beanbag chair its lovely , it's about what we're psending on DS so pricewise its OK - I'll show it to DH tonight, thank you.
And if he doesn't like it......any other brilliant ideas?

how about something little and consumable-food of some sort, paper/pens etc?

does she have a torch? all children need their own torch.

How wet ? Her favourite game is shaking water out of her beaker all over the floor!

its just a pen with water so only comes out when pushed onto mat so its not very wet at all;

Too many bears to fit in her cot at the moment, although she's just starting to like the door open at might - methinks its the bears that scare her!!!

I was going to suggest a little table and chairs for her room, if you've got the space. We've just got a set for DS from Ikea and it makes the room work so much better.

A nice idea - not sure I can get Ikea before Christmas but I'll look online.

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]
For a shocked face, , type [shock]
For an angry face, , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face, , type [blush]
For a sad face, , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face, , type [envy]
For a sceptical face, , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
