I cant believe how time has flown and still no idea what to get my daughter.Last Christmas she got a load of my little pony stuff,she got a load of frozen stuff for her last birthday so this Christmas now i am stumped.I have ideas but so far just stocking fillers like some super girl stuff or sponge bob

but nothing actually as a main present she likes super hero stuff and the typical girly stuff so do i get her more dollys yet what else can i get her .I tried asking her but she ends of up going on a tangent storey about magical dinosaurs and her favourite books

Lots of books (book people do some great sets)?
Trip somewhere special / overnight stay with you there?

Large box filled with craft materials - glitters, paints, collage materials & glue, paint rollers, stencils, ink pads & stamps, sparkly stickers, shaped hole punches, different effect scissors etc. Did this last year & have had so many hours of fun with it all.

Similar idea but with baking equipment, cookie cutters etc and packet cake mixes.

Last year bought some small plastic Disney princess dolls with clip-on interchangeable dresses and some glitter play doh to make outfits for them (see YouTube).

MLP Equestria Girls movies? There are 3.

Child's clothes rack with dress up outfits & accessories?

You don't have to do a 'main present' as such. I think at that age the fun is opening them so many smaller presents is good.

But anyway

  • a special dress up outfit
  • roller skates
  • puppet theatre
  • play tent
  • dolls furniture
  • sledge
  • a playmobil set (cruise ship, camper van etc)
  • trunki


  • an item of furniture? Child's desk, rocking chair? Bean bag?


Or why not just get her her magic dinosaurs and favourite books?

A nice big lego set. Sounds like she'd like the 'elves' range which has dragons- theres magical dinosaurs for you!
