Dd birthday is 20th December she will be 7, then Christmas is 4 days later so I need lots of ideas. I have just spent all day sorting out her room and she really doesn't have that much left to play with we don't really buy toys throughout the year the odd lol doll or colouring book but not much more than that. She is into our generation and has about 8 dolls and a couple of the bigger sets, she has asked for the ice cream van and doll to go with it but that is all. So I need some ideas please, we don't have live tv so didn't seen any adverts for your to ask for. Thank you

Our generation hair salon and chair
Our generation wheelchair ( she loves them)
Our generation boy doll
Our generation unicorn outfit
Our generation bunk beds
Our generation girl doll
Barbie camper van with pool
Barbie wedding set
Baby Alive doll ( she collects these )
Make your own bath bomb set
Loads of books

LOL stuff
JoJo Siwa stuff
Craft stuff

That's what she has so far. Won't be getting much more to be honest. I can't even remember everything.

Ps we got dd the ice cream van last year and it's fab :)

OkToday · 01/12/2018 17:45

That is a lovely list Zoflorabore your daughter is a lucky little girl.
My dd has the Our Generation Hair growth doll (pearl), salon set and salon chair she has had hours of fun with it. The boy doll would be nice to add to her collection.

Not everyones cup of tea, I know but I have got DD a Sega Megadrive with 85 built in games, so no additional purchases.

It just has classics on it, such as Sonic.

She works very hard at School, dancing & swimming & I know she will love spending some time on it with me as it has 2 controllers.

That doesn't sound a lot really Confused

chickhonhoneybabe · 01/12/2018 17:58

Give your DD either an Argos or Smyths catalogue and let her to a list for Santa.

I’m on a really tight budget this year, I would have got her a kidkraft dolls house as a substitute for the lol dolls house as she is obsessed with the lol dolls, and at nearly £200 for the lol one its ridiculous! But the kid Kraft ones do look good and some are cheaper and are apparently big enough for the barbie type dolls if she’s into those too. www.argos.co.uk/browse/toys/dolls-and-playsets/dolls-houses/c:30384/brands:kidkraft/

SylvanianFrenemies · 01/12/2018 17:59

Her list:

Robochameleon
Hex Bugs
My Secret Diary
Roald Dahl books
Pokemon toys

Other stuff we are getting:
Horrible Histories books
Top Trumps
Sylvanian Families Dentist or Toy Shop
A magic set or a science set

And some other stuff, not sure what yet (hoping to get ideas here!).

SylvanianFrenemies · 01/12/2018 18:00

Mega drive is a great idea!

nocutsnobuttsnococonuts · 01/12/2018 18:04

My dd is 6 and we have also way overbought!

Shopkins lil secrets - dolls and playsets (like Polly pockets).
A couple of old Polly pockets.
Enchantimals house and dolls.
Colour your own dolls house from hobby craft and lots of pens/lol stickers etc.

Lol dolls.
Rainbocorn.
Wrapple.
Hotel Transylvania dvd and figures.
Coco and the incredibles 2 busy books.
A variety of tacky hair accessories from Claire's (5 for £5 sale over the summer).
DC Superhero high girls figures.
Hatchimals colleggtibles bundle and house.
A couple of games for her Nintendo DS. (Highly recommend dd loves hers and great for long journeys or chilling in the evenings. I sometimes play when she's in bed 😂)
Then some books, couple of cuddly toys like beanie boos and stocking fillers.

tomhazard · 01/12/2018 18:19

Well my DD is recently 6 but I have got her:
Lots of Lego friends as she loves it
A Polly pocket
A projector lamp

She loves reading to herself in bed these days so I have bought her:
The Dory Fantasmagory series
The Isadora Moon series
A joke book

Skatersbeskating · 01/12/2018 18:20

Thank you SylvanianFrenemies She wont get much else from anyone, just me & G.Ps.

I told her I wasnt buying her loads of little plastic stuff,

Shes got one big plastic thing instead Hmm

Hopefully she will like it!

wendz86 · 01/12/2018 18:32

I'm getting her a second hand wii u and strictly come dancing game.
Her dad is getting her a my generation doll and a gymnastics mat.
Other people are getting her stationary/craft stuff and trivial pursuit family.

nocutsnobuttsnococonuts · 01/12/2018 19:23

Oh and the other thing I got dd was an Anne costume from the greatest showman! Which I'm sure she will love.

She's written her list today and the extra that I hadn't got already was a big cock shaped llama she fell in love with in peacocks. Honestly it's the most unfortunate shape but she "loves it and would really like it for Christmas because it's so cute and soft"

akmum18 · 01/12/2018 19:25

Shed love the mega drive my 7 year old plays it quite often, you can get the handheld version for £20 from Argos at the moment. I’d recommend lol dolls, barbie, scruff a luv, Sylvanian families, Lego - Disney or friends, Polly pocket, shopkin lil secrets, Winnie witch book collection, slime making, squishies, little live pets, girls world

Zoflorabore · 01/12/2018 19:30

Ooh thanks for the pp who mentioned Stone Age rocks, dd is obsessed with the Stone Age since doing it in science this term :)

One last thing I've remembered we've got her is the lego friends pizza parlour and swimming pool.
Am currently doing her room and throwing so much away.

OkToday · 01/12/2018 20:43

Thank you for all the ideas, there are going to be lots of happy children Christmas day. Our Generation seems very popular a long with lol dolls and Lego Friends. Dd has a bit of a rubbish birthday being so close to Christmas it is so hard to make sure she doesn't miss out compared to her siblings as their birthdays are better spaced. The Argos and Smyths catalogue is a good idea so thank you for that to.

@Zoflorabore

My daughter is obsessed with rocks and stone and I have to take them out of pockets and bags when she is not looking ast they as weigh a fucking ton are very “precious” Confused

We almost bought her a rock tumbler but wasn’t sure if having to wait for the process to complete might have put her off...

However her Gran has bought her this and it looks really good!

DD is 7 (but 8 in March). She’s asked for paints and a sleeping bag from Santa.

From me she’ll also be getting tickets to a musical, a cooking class that we will do together, a board game (downfall), Harry Potter pjs, a calendar and some books.

I’m pretty sure her Dad is getting her a Harry Potter Lego set.

Last year, she got a new bike as her main present. A milk frother for making hot chocolates also went down well.
