To ask for ideas for a starting P1 gift?

DD2 starts P1 in less than two weeks.

On DD1s first day of school I give her a copy of the first Harry Potter book with a message from me and her dad.

I want to similar for DD2 but totally stumped! We have so many books already, they both love reading/being read to and I want to give something she can keep but not anything that's going to break the bank!

She loves space/science/dinosaurs/building things - but already has some space/science/dinosaurs books.

I think I need to think outside the box but I'm struggling!

Any suggestions?

Goodnight stories for rebel girls?

It's very good!

Wonderbly personalised books are lovely

Or an atlas or encyclopaedia? My DD loves flicking through them and aren’t quickly outgrown

A cd player / alexa with audio books?

What's this for?

@WeeM I was having a look at the space encyclopaedia but she's got similar books and tbh it'll be a while until she can read them independently!

The wonderbly suggestion is great! Going to have a look now ☺️

She has an echo dot and listens to an audio book every night 🙈 (albeit usually the same one every night 🙄)

wonderbly have loads of nice choices and the personalised stuff is very cleverly weaved throughout it, my DD often picks hers up. Hers is a where’s Wally type one where you need to find things. You can put a message at the start of them too.
