Before I start; I am not buying everything on this list. Over the year, I have noted things either DD has expressed interest in or I think she will like. Obviously it's far too much and I'll get her 3 or 4(and keep a few ideas in case family ask for ideas). If people could tell me which ones they think is best or if their DC have any listed that they love/don't use, then that'd help greatly too.

DD's 'list' (in no order):

Love Diana astronaut doll
Kindi kids doll
Slime machine
Sylvanian families treehouse
Sylvanian families bunny family
George pig toy
Water pistol (has spring birthday so may wait)
Sunny bunnies toy
Daniel Tiger teddy (can't find a decent one)
Boo and Mike Disney figures (£13 Shock)
Dinosaur figures
Ryder toy from Paw Patrol
Barbie Chelsea playset
LOL baby road trip toy (she doesn't have LOL toys- yet)
Play doh
Paint your own set
Baby shark bath toy
Cabbage patch doll
Minnie Mouse figures
Little people Elsa castle

She will be getting a plate set and cutlery set, puzzles, some craft bits and books, this would be her main 'toy' gifts. If people could recommend 3 or 4 then I'd really appreciate it Smile

Going by your list it sounds like your little girl likes to play lots of imaginative play with small world characters. This is what I'd do.

Buy a generic play house and furniture. Asda do a lovely wooden set for a reasonable price

Pick one set of her favourite characters that she can use in the house. This way, when she grows out of a character, you can just replace the figures for more play value (better than throwing away big loads of bulky pink plastic)

Choose some sort of barbie size doll. She will enjoy taking the clothes on and off and this will help her with fine motor skills.

Buy something completely different like Lego, a wooden train set or a simple marble run.

DD is a very similar age to you DD and also loves imaginary play. Until a couple of months ago her favourite her favourites were her Happyland people/bus etc but now it's Playmobil and dolls.
For Christmas she's getting:
Baby Annabel doll as her main present,
Playmobil wedding set (from Santa),
Skipper babysitter doll set (from DS),
Playmobil playpark set & cafe set (got them both 2nd hand)
Playdoh BBQ set (she also adores the Playdoh dentist set and doughnut set).
I've also got a few Disney Duplo figues (second hand) to go in her stocking as she loves Duplo. DD and DS spend ages creating stuff together.

She also loves drawing so there will be crayons and stick paints in her stocking too.

Personally I'm holding off with Sylvanian Families for a while longer. I think she'll enjoy them more in a couple of years.
I'm trying to avoid going down the LOL doll route!

DD loves our box of dinosars. She also still has loads of fun with her Peppa Pig toys (she's getting the Campervan from grandparents).

Sorry for waffling on! Blush
