DD’s 6th birthday coming up soon & I’m reeeeally struggling for pressie ideas this year. She’s not really a ‘toy’ kind of child if that makes sense...she does play with toys but she’s not one to sit there & play with barbies or dolls for ages & ages so not looking for any suggestions for those sort of bits.

Help please!

What about arts and crafts? Melissa and Doug do amazing stamp and dress your dolls set.

Blo pens? Ceramic painting? Does she like Frozen or trolls? Fancy dress. Cute little bits from Claires.

My 6 year olds love their Hama beads

Roller skates, the new v tech camera with the kids screen, dress ups (if she’s like mine, she’ll be growing out of the sizes she has), a big case of colouring pens and pencils (mine love the fact every item has its own space), books

Sorry I meant the camera with the green screen, also hula hoop.

Weekend at Alton Towers or similar? We did that for our now 26 year old who wasn’t into Barbies either and she still remembers it. We took her best friend with us and it was very special.

What’s your budget? I’m thinking of a Yoto for my DD when she turns 5, though it’s a bit spendy.

Tinks15 · 17/05/2021 21:52

Yes Blo pens was actually the only thing on my list @Idontknowanymore05

We’ve got lots of arts/crafts don’t think I could face getting anymore

Roller skates & vtech camera is a good one. She’s not really into dressing up anymore which is a shame.

Definitely get some books I always do.
