Best gift for 6yo girl?

My DD’s 6th birthday is coming up and I’m stuck with what to get her. Would welcome any ideas!

For context DS’s birthday is a week before hers and we’re looking to get him either a camping tent or a family trip to a monster truck rally. They normally get one main present from us, budget around £100.

DD likes a lot of girly stuff but doesn’t actively play with a lot of the things like her doll house and she hasn’t asked for anything specific recently so I’m feeling really uninspired! She’s also been a bit short changed at Christmas because again she didn’t really want anything so any and every idea welcome.

Her main likes are colouring, reading, dancing, play shop and babies, and her friends.
Thanks ☺️

What are her favorite books? Maybe you can get her a special edition or something related to her favorite stories, like clothes, accessories, posters etc. If there are any artists she likes, you can make a photo calendar with their pictures.
Could be kids-friendly cosmetics like washable hairsprays or lip balms. Items like glittery pen set or glowing stickers could be nice additions.

Does she have a bike or a scooter already?
What about a big garden game like giant jenga?
Would she like a pamper afternoon with mummy? Go to somewhere that will paint her nails then have afternoon tea somewhere. Or a trip to see a child friendly show?

Massive box of craft stuff lots of great stuff for it in pound land. DGD loves hers at my house.
DGD 6 favourite present at Xmas was cheerleading outfit from vinted.
I have just got roller skates with safety stuff, I took her to a kids roller disco and she loved it.

Disco ball
Box of dressing up stuff
Yoto player
Scooter
Playmobil
Craft kits
Art stuff inc easel, frames to display her work etc
Baby doll with pram, cot, clothing

I appreciate the stuff above mostly isn't one big gift, but I think flexibility is the key here. But if you’ve got the space, a proper play shop like the Melissa and Doug one?

A cosy chair for reading in, or a desk?

I have a multilayered box of 72 fancy coloured pencils my 6YO is fascinated by.

Most appreciated presents around that age for mine were Sylvanians (she loves having them and setting them up rather than playing exactly) and a huge cuddly ikea dog.

Why not get a bigger tent between them or get them both a pop up tent.

Or if you decide on tickets for him, find a show she'd like.
