I am completely stuck with Dd. Her aunt has snaffled the light up scooter!

She’s into all the usual things - babies, dolls, dressing up etc. She already has a dolls house, baby Annabelle, Toniebox. If I ask her she says a unicorn or a yo-yo Grin

Marble Run
Something to do with the Barbies? Like the barbie plane or camper van
Walkie talkies
Usbourne sticker dolly dress up books
My 5 year old likes those books with a little piano keyboard at the bottom so that she can play little tunes
More Tonies stories
A game - orchard toys one? Or a good puzzle
We've recently got a build a bear unicorn and you can get lots of clothes and accessories for that
Or would she like a bigger doll - like the our generation ones?

lobsteroll · 01/12/2021 09:12

Oh, also, accessories for the scooter like tassels/a basket or a seat for a doll or teddy?

IamChipmunk · 01/12/2021 09:16

My dd is getting the barbie care clinic ambulance.
Also one of the bigger 'our generation' type dolls and a wardrobe of clothes for her. I actually went for the argos version 'designafriend' after recommendations on here.
Gymnastics Barbie the one with the beam because she goes to gymnastics!
Fil is getting her the baby Annabel lunch table.

Lots of smaller bits but those are the 'main' ones.

A baby doll high chair set up ready with a tiny treasures doll.

My twins are 4 and are getting a barbie Malibu playhouse for their millions of Barbies! The fold up one so hopefully won't take up too much room!
Otherwise I was going to get them the crayola art case, will probably get it for their birthday instead. They love drawing.

17caterpillars1mouse · 01/12/2021 11:46

My 5 year olds main gifts are:

Lego friends Andreas house and hair salon
Design a friend doll that shares her unusual name
Flynn and Rapunzel doll set

Thatswhathappens · 01/12/2021 12:18

My five year old has the barbie doctors camper van thing and a playmobil take along vets as her main presents, also got her a barbie dentist set and a tiny treasures doll and changing mat set.

My DD has just turned 5, she is getting the Leap Frog Leap Reader which comes with 10 books plus other bits. She is asking Santa for the Silver Cross 3in1 travel system pram from Smyths and some make up. I’d already got make up so will re-wrap in the “Santa” paper and I’ve just ordered the pram.

She does already have a pram but she’s tall and this one is the next size up plus comes with a car seat and carry cot so I feel has more legs in terms of it being used for a long time.

Ponoka7 · 01/12/2021 12:45

More Barbie bits, she specifically asked for the one on a bike, Chelsea pool/slide set, Chelsea playground and a cheaper fashion doll set in B&M with baby a pram/cot, a fashion doll princess carriage. Lip balms (she's loves them), makeup. She plays with her older sister's Lol, so she's getting the car and large Lol doll, art stuff, Fuzzikins, play dough. She has her older sister's jigsaw puzzles, board games and play vanity table.

Ponoka7 · 01/12/2021 12:47

"Leap Frog Leap Reader ", these are really good. The 6 year old got it last year and the four year old is starting to use it. We get a lot of the books from eBay.

Stompythedinosaur · 01/12/2021 12:59

Favourite presents my dds got at that age were a design-a-friend doll, lego friends disney sets, playmobil campervan, slime making sets and schleicht fairies.

FelicityBob · 01/12/2021 13:43

If she wants a unicorn and a yo-yo then get them? I don’t get the need to buy a “main present”

CanofCant · 01/12/2021 13:48

We bought DD1 a hop hop einhorn unicorn for her birthday last year and it was a big hit.

DD is getting:

a play kitchen and set of pans/utensils (from me)
a doll's pram (from Father Christmas)
a Corolle baby doll (from my parents)

Other than that it's a couple of books, Hatley pyjamas, a little coin purse and new hat & gloves.

If you know where I can get a live unicorn I’m all ears Grin

I want to buy a main present. That’s all the need that applies.
