New Auntie needs some advice

[AuntieN]

Hello!

I am new here! I have just become and Auntie for the first time. I don't have children myself, but want to be a good Aunt to my new niece.

First off, I would like to spoil my niece at Christmas, although she will only be six months old come December! I have no idea what to buy her, and I don't want to clutter my brother's house up with useless stuff. Can some one advise me where to look for suitable gifts? I know nothing about little ones at all, so this will be a real learning curve for me as much as my brother and his wife.

Incidentially, is there an area on these boards for Aunts and Uncles?
