I have absolutely no idea! And she hasn’t said what she wants, when I ask she says one thing which Iv managed to get.

Help please :(

Playmobil
Lego friends
Dressing up stuff - we have astronaut and hairdresser plus the hairdresser role play belt from aldi
Polly pocket
Squishmallow
Yoto cards (would highly recommend a yoto player)

DockOTheBay · 23/11/2021 13:12

Also remember at her age (or any age?) She doesn't need piles of stuff. If you've bought the thing she has asked for and some other things, she will love it. Don't put too much pressure on yourself :)

RussianSpy101 · 23/11/2021 13:14

Nintendo switch
Lego friends
Dolls

SmallProvincial · 23/11/2021 13:24

DD didn't ask for much either (and the things she did ask for are definitely stockingable... like: a measuring tape, Post-Its, etc.).

So far we've got:

  • (Barbie) Skipper as a babysitter with two babies and assorted furniture.
  • Some games: Junior Scrabble, Junior Labrynth.
  • various arts and crafts stuff.

We haven't finished just yet - but that's where we've got to so far.

CountessOlenka · 23/11/2021 13:27

Supergirl costume
Lego (a princess stable thing and a basic starter set)
Spirograph Junior
Books (See Inside Ancient Egypt, Draw with Rob, Ottoline and the purple fox)
A Schleich unicorn
Unicorn slippers
Watercolour pencils

I had to figure it out for myself as the only thing she specifically asked for was 'sausages'.

17caterpillars1mouse · 23/11/2021 13:52

My eldest DD is 5

On her list is

  • my little pony soft toys
  • Barbie aeroplane
  • Sylvanian families
  • Lego hair salon
  • poppy troll doll

We've got her the Lego friends Andreas house and hair salon, my little pony soft toys, a designer friend doll with her unusual name, screwball scramble and Flynn and Rapunzel Barbie type dolls as her main things, then just sticker books, colouring books, books, hair accessories etc as other bits

From family she is getting
Barbie aeroplane
Sylvanian family fashion boutique and royal carriage
My little pony new figures
Gymnastics Barbie
Small Playmobil set

Silversun83 · 23/11/2021 13:57

Another one with barely anything on her list, apart from nail varnish (which I have got for her stocking!) and a Cry Baby (which I haven't got her as she already has three!).

I think the trouble is we don't actually go 'shopping' so she doesn't really know what's out there so I'm hoping I know her well enough...

Main presents

Doll bunk bed (she did actually say she wanted this a while ago and makes piles of books into bunk beds).

Our Generation doll with pet dog

Playmobil playground

Babysitting bath time Skipper

Two Disney Princess Barbie dolls

Lego Dots cupcakes

OG doll pajamas

Orchard Toys Magic Maths game

Children's encyclopedia

Find the Unicorn book

Silversun83 · 23/11/2021 13:59

Oh, she did say she wanted a science kit at one point so have asked my sister to get that and is getting a Designer Friend doll and barbie car from grandparents.

SmallProvincial · 23/11/2021 21:30

Oooh good tip on the Lego Dots Cupcakes @silversun83 - just added them to my basket.

turquoisebaby · 23/11/2021 22:01

It seems a lot written down, but DCs have no living GPs and there is no family on my side, so she won't get much else than the above.

Goneback2school · 24/11/2021 12:27

Dd is 6 and she is getting a keyboard with a kids how to play book
Roller skates and pads.
A baking board game.
A cupcake squishmallow
An amazon dot
2 books

Furry notebook and scrunchies from Claires

YahooTheMilkshake · 24/11/2021 12:34

The keyboard above is a fantastic idea!
I'm now getting the twitch to get them a keyboard and book for another joint gift. Although they already have a board game as a joint gift, wish I'd thought of this!

If you don't already have them, roller skates, skateboard, bike and scooter are all very much played with by my 5 year old

ineedaholidayandwine · 24/11/2021 12:44

So far from us she has 2 books.
From Santa she has the fancy dress version of Elsa's purple nightdress from frozen 2, got it in Sainsburys and it sings and has LED's in the skirt! plus some glitter shoes with light up heels from Asda for dressing up.
From grandparents a Rapunzel doll, Barbie Dreamtopia unicorn and a Frozen lego set.
Have no clue what else to get from us, she wants a telescope! No more Barbie as she had loads and doesn't play with it that much.
I think i need to go wander the toy shops for ideas :-(

UnLunDun · 24/11/2021 12:55

Mine asked for a Ukelele (red), this is ok as fits in the stocking and we only do stockings from FC. She’s also getting from us a Frozen fancy dress, a keyboard, Sylvanian Family narrow boat, a magic potion toy, her first Classic Lego, books, and her teenage sister is making her pink/glittery homemade play dough and giving it with some flamingo cutters, as she is Flamingo obsessed.

ShortColdandGrey · 24/11/2021 13:24

Pink rug, barbie dressing table, Bluey house, and stocking stuff. I still need to find panda teddy slippers that don't cost a bloody fortune. Her dad keeps buying her extra bits and pieces and I think I am going to have to take his bank card off him haha. I don't think he realises how much he has got her, but we can always keep some of it for her birthday.

Mine will be 5 in April and she's asked for:
