Hi! My DD is the only child in our family, so understandably everyone is eager to spoil her. With her third birthday coming up, lots of people are asking what she needs. What practical or useful items could I suggest?

TIA

Garden toys? Both sets of our parents were happy to buy a slide or a went in halves with each other for a trampoline when ours were a similar age. They did get use most of the year round too plus didn’t take up much space in the house!
We had all sorts, mower that blew bubbles, water table, sandbox, swing set, see saw. We did have quite a big garden though.

Bath toys might also be a useful suggestion. Pyjamas, they are cute and people like buying cute pjs!
we have huge families and I always tried to suggest things we would have needed at some point to avoid having hoardes of toys cluttering up the house. Didn’t always manage it of course 😂
