What are you buying for 5 year old girls?

[Dancergirl]

I need some inspiration!

So far I have got dd:

Ballerina doll (Corolle)
Rapunzel dress up dress
Unicorn huggle buddy

Want to get a couple of other things. I was thinking maybe a Lego Friends set perhaps....?

I am definitely not shopping anymore....!

My dd 4.9 is getting:

Brave doll and horse
Brave dressing up, wig, bow and arrows
Brave book
A handful of other books
A disney torch/nightlight
A full stocking with the usual culprits - hairclips, childrens jewellery etc etc

None of it was on offer apart from the wig!

dancer dd1 got the treehouse for her fifth birthday. getting it build was a joint effort, but now she has the basic structure she is able to do alterations and improvements

Girls world head but not girls world brand coz it was cheap and nasty.
PJ's
Dress and leggings with matching headband
Books - 2nd hand set found on charity shop thank god not rainbow fairies
Lego friends set
A small my little pony
socks
Sticker dolly dressing book
Play money

Family are getting
Till
Dress up Minnie mouse (age 2 plus but this is the third year she asked for it)
My little pony stable

DD1, 5yo, is getting:

A bike and new helmet
A wooden toy cake stand
Where's wally book set with a wally bag (bargain on book people)
A playmobil Unicorn (The only thing she has picked up whilst in a shop and asked for)
A handknitted Tig (from Wolly and Tig her fav prog still)
The full collection of Peter Rabbit books (bought before she was born and been sat waiting)
The Lorax DVD
An inflatable globe (£1.99!)
A Rodger McGough poetry book (bad bad cats)
A diecast Ambulance (fascinated by ambulances at the moment)

Orchard Toys Tummy Ache game
Olivia doll

To share with her sister (from Father Christmas):

Playmobil plane (half price in Sainsburys toy sale)
A wooden Little Tikes kitchen

Dressing up box (mainly filled with costumes I bought cheap after Halloween)

Her stocking will have the obligatory chocolate, satsuma, toothbrush, magic flannel, character socks and the Olivia Rainbow doll (mascot for the Rainbow pack she belongs to)

That looks a lot but no one else buys for them and they only get presents on their birthdays and at Christmas.

Oh and the [[http://www.thebookpeople.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/qs_product_tbp?storeId=10001&catalogId=10051&langId=100&productId=197700 noisy Peter Pan book] which is beautiful and I would recommend for any childs book collection.

OohMrDarcy - What tablet did you get? I bought dd1 an innotab for her birthday and now wish I had never bothered. She ignores it and prefers to go on the laptop so I am thinking of selling it and replacing with a budget tablet - which is what I should have got in the first place.

this

I got it when it got price dropped to around £65

going to fully lock it down with parental controls etc and put some bits and bobs on ready for her

Oh lucky girls you all have.

I've bought dd some walkie talkies, a keyring and some books.

As her Xmas eve jammies from the elves, she's getting a rapunzel nightie from Disney store, the skirt bit is sort of like a tutu.

fuckwittery - Ogo Bild Pod Construction Set looks great for making dens. Have you heard good reviews about it

Thanks OohMrDarcy, that's exactly what I was thinking of. Will keep an eye on the price and hope it drops again.

My 5 year old dd is getting:

Hair slides, bobbles and hello kitty hairbrush.
Face cloth
Chocolate orange
Chocolate coins
Felt tips and colouring book
Lego
Mister men books - about 20 that she needs to complete her set.
A barbie doll
A worst witch book.
Farm Jigsaw
Shrinkies/sprinkles set - those key ring things that you put in the oven.
Jelli baff

I'm a bit worried that she has too much though- she has twice as many presents as my 2 year old. I may leave out the Lego. Plus relatives always buy her lots of stuff too.

Thanks fuckwittery My dds are also keen den builders!

Christmas name BTW!

DD1 is getting:

A bike without stabilisers
Baby Annabell
Candy your very own pony
Aquabeads (from my mum)

I have gone way over the budget I had planned this year.must stop looking at bargains Hope she likes it all!

Right I'm sorted!

I bid for an Isla bike on Ebay this weekend but the price went right up to over 165 pounds and a new one is 200.

So today I phoned Isla bikes and have ordered her a pink one! Feel a bit guilty about the money with her other presents but hopefully she will get a lot of use out of it and I can always sell it on Ebay when she outgrows it.

I'm hoping it also might inspire her can't ride, won't ride 9 year old sister!

You went for the croc then?
