In need of some present ideas for my youngest daughter, her birthday is only a few weeks before christmas so struggling for ideas. She didn't really have very much last birthday/christmas due to a lack of time and we didn't really celebrate them as we usually would has my mum was diagnoised with terminal cancer at beginning of December (it came out of the blue) and she needed a lot of care, I lost her shortly after christmas. It wasn't until everything went back to normal or a new type of normal, after dealing with everything that death brings with it that I realised. I feel absolutley alwful about this so please no negative comments, but don't regret for one minute the time I spent caring for mum. We did lots of extra day trips this summer to easy my guilt like our surprise weekend to Legoland resort and this christmas we're going to spoil dc to make up for it. I have plenty of ideas for dd who is 8 and ds for is 5 its dd soon to be 3 that I'm struggling with.
For her birthday so far I have bought:
- Ikea wooden kitchen (both upper and lower sections)
- 7 packs of wooden cuttable play food
- John Lewis wooden coffee machine, food mixer and toaster
- All ikea kitchen utensils
- New tea set, cuttlery set and Dinner plates
I would like to get her something that is non kitchen related to go with it.
For Christmas so far I have bought:
- Wooden dolls house for Barbie sized dolls. ( it's the one she picked)
- Singing Airel Barbie, Light up magic Cinderella Barbie, Rapunzel barbie, Tinkerbell Barbie, a couple of the basic Barbie dolls and a three pack of one mermaid barbie with 2 little sister mermaids. ( the dolls house has patio and pool)
- Lego duplo Ariel Boat Ride
- Lego Duplo Ariel Castle
- Interactive Doc McStuffin and Lambie
- John Lewis wooden till with chip and pin machine.
- John Lewis shopping basket set
- Magic colour changing bow Minnie mouse.
I would like to get her a few others playsets to go with this.
It probably looks like a lot but at the moment all she has in her toy box is 3 ELC rosies world dolls, 2 rosies world horses and rosies world car. The large Minnie mouse and Daisy with the clip on dresses, shoes and bows. And the minnie mouse polka dot areoplane and boat.
