Hi
My daughters birthday is soon ( 7) she obsessed with America she may aswell be American ! 🤣
Yes she watches to much YouTube !
Anyway I wanted to put a hamper together for her birthday America related BUT she has intestinal failure so cool food hamper is out of the question.
Any other ideas ?????

Book, magazines, dvds?

YABU

This is not an AIBU

Lipsils....maybe some cool American soda flavour ones.

BB gun?

What about things with the American flag on? Or images from around America? Such as A Hair brush, socks, American Bath bombs/soap (I can only think of Bath and body works atm) maybe some merchandise from her favourite YouTuber?

There's some American dolls but I can't remember the name of them (sorry not helpful!)

Racism and shit politicians in a box? Hmmm actually that could be UK too...

Flag related products - cushion, bandana, purse, bag. I bet there’s loads on eBay if you put in Stars and Stripes.

I had a jigsaw of the states of America as a kid - I loved it and learned most of the state names and locations from it.

It wasn't this one but was similar USA Map Floor Puzzle (48 Pieces, 91cm x 61cm) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1441333339/ref=cmswwrcppapiii_yS4FFbHW2MR39

Cowboy hat?
Toy Cadillac?
US dollars?
I heart NY clothing?
Donald Trump poster?
Maga hat?
Battleflag of the confederacy?

I tried being sensible but I couldn't manage it.

A book about American history or facts about America if she enjoys reading?

How about some films on dvd/blu ray?

The name of the dolls are "American Doll" so you nailed it.

Aimed at adults but would still work I think!

What are her other interests and budget

Last Christmas Clinton's had a box of American sweets that went down very well in our house! Maybe they will have them again.

Also, I would be willing to send things from US for her.

Fun game called Scrambled States of America, helps learn the geography and random facts like state capitals.

I'm sure @LoveEatYoga has given you lots of helpful ideas already but
American flag
Statue of Liberty figurine
Lego Kits (pretty sure there is an architecture kit? Eg Empire State Building?)
Baseball glove
USA history book for kids
Mug
Craft kit themed USA
DVD of good recent and suitable film

Has she read the Little House books?

If she's a reasonably confident reader she might enjoy Little House in the Big Woods - Laura's pretty young in that one. (Or you could get it to read to her, of course.)

I'd not encourage this obsession personally.

An American Girl doll? They are extremely expensive, though.

Maybe a selection of books? There are some wonderful children's books by American writers. Depending on how well she reads, she may enjoy books by Marguerite de Angeli, Dorothy Canfield Fisher, Eleanor Estes, Doris Gates, Beverly Cleary. And many, many others.

New looks girls clothing has lots of t shirts with stuff like Brooklyn, New York, LA on. Maybe a couple of them.
Craft / paints / card in red white blue.
US flag duvet cover? I remember seeing one recently
Pom poms?
high school musical ? I’m trying to remember if that’s age appropriate?
Sesame steeet cuddlies?

Plain white t shirt and fabric paint in red white blue
(I’ve clearly got a theme!)
