Present inspiration

So I need some inspiration for presents for my 9 and 10 year old daughters!!!! I always leave Xmas till last minute and I vow next year to start early!!
It's harder as they get older. They want a my generation doll ( which I can get) but they also want the ice cream and sweet van that goes with it and the kitchen that goes with the dolls but they are £109 each!!!! And I really don't have the £££ to spend £218 on just two presents. I can deffo get the doll they want though but what else can I get instead of the ice cream van, there is also very little room in my house for big toys and this toy looks big after looking a lot on line for pictures. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm sorry, I can't help as have 2 little boys. Just wanted to tell you that I started Christmas shopping in October (pretty early by my standards) and have seen every single thing I bought slashed in price over the last few weeks.if I'd have hung on, I reckon I could hav saved myself about a hundred quid!
Next year, I'm leaving it until now!

Could you get them a doll each and just one of the other things to share?
Or Do they do accessories or outfits for the dolls that you could get?

The kitchen is £60 - perhaps get this as a shared gift? That way it's £30 from each girls budget.
