11 year old girl - on TV she likes MI High, the new How to Train your Dragon series, Doctor Who, Sarah Jane Adventures, Mythbusters. No particular computer games at the moment - but likes programming with Scratch (not helpful for presents though!). Likes reading but harder to find things she hasn't read now she has access to secondary school library. Book tokens are always popular though. I assume you're looking for small presents for neices/nephews etc? She'd also like things like nice scarf / gloves / hat, christmas socks always go down well, earrings ditto.

DD is 6.3 but hasn't changed much since being 5, her main loves are lego, colouring, painting, playmobil, little character figures (Disney etc) and animals, cars, movies and cartoons

4 year old boy - mainly into fighting despite my best efforts. Likes swords, castles, tanks, armies.
Doesn't actually watch anything vaguely violent, like octonauts and baby looney toons and the smurfs! Not sure why he's so aggressive, I'm hoping it's a phase. Also big into dinosaurs.

DTisMYdoctor · 09/10/2013 19:40

Not one you specified, but 5 year old DS likes Lego, octonauts, playmobil pirates, colouring-in, imaginext toys and likes watching scooby doo and power rangers.

Not sure what almost 11 year old niece watches apart from X factor (x factor pj's went down well last year), but she mostly likes clothes (new look), iTunes vouchers so she can buy stuff for her iPad and things she needs for her dance classes. Likes things like friendship bracelets etc just now.

6 year old (just) loves sylvanian families, colouring in stuff and Lego.

DTisMYdoctor · 09/10/2013 19:40

Sorry, the almost 11 year old has iPod touch, not an iPad!

9 yr old DS likes:
Anything football related

11 yo girl

Screamer music, goth fashion and wants a bass guitar
She also wants a unicorn

I'm not sure how typical she is though

5 yo girl has asked for Monster High dolls(many, many, many times!!), Doc McStuffins and a VIP pet.

2 yo boy is getting a mega blocks building table. He really likes his cars and dolls (or his babies as he calls them) at the moment.
