What have you bought your 5 year old that's not an LOL doll??

[Tonkerbea]

I'm having last minute nerves that my DD is going to be disappointed with her present, (It's a bike, she's outgrown her old one, but it's something she needs not wants iyswim), please send inspiration!

My little pony grooming parlour like I had in the 80s. (From John Lewis).
A baby Annabell that weeps.
A sparkly dress.
Some books.
Some art stuff.

Slime! Sylvanian Family stuff. Board games.

My 5 year old is a boy, but he's getting:
A robot
Dressing up clothes
A backpack
Books
Animal slippers
Some wii games
A board game

dd has various things - a couple of sticker books, games, actual books, and few LOL bits and pieces like lip balms and an annual rather than doll as they are much cheaper. She has some Frozen stuff too.

Twisty pets, Cubby, Owleez, Lego and some Our generation dolls

A Kidi concert music player with disco lights! Thanks to these threads.
A cape for being a a superhero.
A pretend play ice-cream set that she didn't get last year but asked for again and I think this may be our last year of these kind of toys so have got that.
Two 'find the poo/unicorn poo' books

Others are getting her Orchard Games What A Performance, science (Galt) kits, Barbie Ambulance, and other puzzle books and lift the flap books that shes' asked for.

Oh and sparkly purple/blue/green glitter eyeshadow from Claire's because she asked for make-up for real make-up for her styling doll and I'm fed up of doing face-paints every week!

Thanks all- I think I'll get her a couple of games she can play with.

@LetsPlayBamboozled , DD got the What a performance game last year and it's been a massive hit

Monopoly junior, books, lego. She is also getting playmobile, Hama beads from family. And dinosaurs. No LOL dolls in sight here.

Presents from me/dh and our family this year to our just turned 6 year old:

Lego
Our Generation doll and change of clothes
Fimo
A spy set
A kids camera/video camera (£25 Amazon)
200 piece jigsaw

My DD is 6 but is getting lots of Lottie dolls this year as she loves them. If you haven't heard of them they are fab. Dolls but are based on children, and are fossil hunters, star gazers, swimmers, astronauts, superhero's, and just lovely ordinary girls in leggings and jackets! So sweet. They do books to go with them too.

My DD is 4.5 and is getting a rainbow mermaid barbie and a Playmobil doll house. I can't stand lol dolls!

My niece.is obsessed with.those.baby alive dolls that eat and poo, they're not bad for £15.

Lego set either Lego Friends or a more general set to be creative with. I loved Lego as a young girl and it's such an educational gift that often isn't thought about for girls.

Mine is getting a desk with a stack of activity books and stationary bits to go with it. Also, Buckaroo, kiddizoom camera, Barbie astronaut, Elsa and Nokk, top trumps, cookery book.

Our almost 5 year old is getting (from us and various relatives who let me know what they were getting to avoid duplication :
Lego (Friends and Creator 3-in-1 sets)
Elsa and Anna dolls
Elsa costume
Baby Annabel that cries
Twisty Pets
Glittery gel pens/art stuff

We have no LOL dolls in the house. I'm quite happy with that creepy feckers that they are
