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 ?????

Watch Grease with homemade unsalted popcorn
American flag duvet set

Thank you haha ! It’s all the hampers relate to food and she isn’t allowed food so really be struggling. She has asked for an American girl doll but they are well a lot haha
She likes Roblox / minecraft
She likes watching you tube videos of chuck e cheese 🤣

To the people who comment things like “ I wouldn’t encourage this obsession “ and politics etc
She is a child America take away the politics and what we don’t agree with my self included is actually a beautiful country and has some lovely people in it to.
I’m not going to bog her down with politics etc otherwise she would also hate her own country to 🤣

Taylor swift CD
Basketball ..
Baseball cap

I was trying to think of the different states and something from each
But I have no idea
Except music type suggestions
A map of the states for her wall if she hadn’t one already

Jelly belly scented stuff - lip balm or candle etc. A book with the story set in USA or an educational one like this. A stuffed animal toy that is famously american - bear, moose, eagle, raccoon.

America has tons of admirable qualities. You only get to hear about the shit stuff abroad.

Could buy a t-shirt or a toy off the chucke geese site, they ship to the UK it says!

Yankee candles
I heart NYC tshirt
Baseball hat

How about American classic kid lit? Little Women and stuff?

Btw is she into football? How about a US football shirt?

Could you get some cash converted so she has a a dollar note and a few American coins?

Many of our National Parks have online shops with shirts, ball caps, inexpensive jewelry, stuffed animals and such. Most of them also have a 'Junior Ranger' section with books and activities geared to children. Just google ' online store'.

Also, if you put in gifts and souvenirs on the US Amazon website it will bring up various items geared to that state, so if she has a particular state she's into, you could get merch geared to that.

You could research flowers and plants native to the US that are suitable to your area and give her 'Seeds from America' to plant and watch grow. I know there are restrictions on mailing seeds and plant material so that may be a bit difficult unless you can find a nursery in your area that can help you.

Research US clothing lines and order her some things from lines not available in the UK. My kids are grown so I don't know what the 'cool' brands are, sorry.

Little House books, Caddie Woodlawn (similar to Little House), the 'Eloise' books (she lives at the Plaza Hotel in NYC).

Does she like colouring? Theres States of America/American history colouring books on Amazon

Judy blume books.

I used to love those books, so descriptive.......I was overjoyed when some of the sweets I'd read about in her books turned up over here 😂😂😂

What about a hotdog onesie or peeps merchandise ? 🤨

Amazon.com will ship to the Uk, you just need to order in advance. How about a post card Set from national Parks

www.amazon.com/NATIONAL-postcard-depicting-American-postcards/dp/B00U9ZS5LM/ref=sr_1_11?dchild=1&keywords=postcards+from+every+us+state&tag=mumsnetforu03-21&qid=1602205035&sr=8-11

Sour candy

www.amazon.com/Nerds-New-Chewy-Sours-Ounce/dp/B07KPQBW7F/ref=sr_1_23?dchild=1&crid=3OYV6WKEQ8NY&keywords=toxic+waste+sour+candy&sprefix=Sour+cans%2Caps%2C203&tag=mumsnetforu03-21&qid=1602205173&sr=8-23

US flag socks

www.amazon.com/American-Gmark-Mismatched-Independence-Assorted/dp/B07D9BKLY1/ref=sr_1_16?dchild=1&keywords=Us+flag+knee+high+socks&tag=mumsnetforu03-21&qid=1602205237&sr=8-16

Then add some oreos and other bits you can find in British stores

Primark has Minecraft hoodies and socks, they were in the boys section but they are unisex. Asda is selling Roblox shirts, again in the boys section.
Also how about Coke, Pepsi or Reese's flavoured lipbalm?
If she likes smelly stuff So...candy floss body mist smells exactly like candy floss and is only £3

@LoveEatYoga

YABU

This is not an AIBU

Why on earth would you say that? OP what can your dd eat? Maybe posters can come up with some equivalents?

Baby sitters club books

Try TKMax they sometimes have American sweets

I think the USA jigsaw puzzle is a lovely idea, you can do it together. Some American themed clothing/bedding, and a subscription to Girl's Life magazine.

Does she like Friends (TV), OP? might sound nostalgic but there's a resurgence amongst young.

Good luck.

Would she like a tiktok logo'd t shirt?

Good luck.

try a group like this on Facebook, you can get her scented items if she likes them

Can you find her an American pen pal or something similar?

Macy's stuff online?
