Presents for 6 year old girl that doesn’t want anything!!

My daughter (youngest of 5) is a tricky one to buy for. She doesn’t really play with many toys. Not sure what she gets up to really 😂 we don’t get tv with adverts here so they never get inspiration from that and there is no smyths toys to take a wander around either.

I really need some help. What are other 6 year olds getting??

things to consider….
it can’t be too massive as we are overseas for Christmas (needs to fit in a suit case and be less than 23kg!)

she can’t read

she’s the youngest of 5 so we already have a garage full of sylvanians, Lego etc that she has no interest in

she has no interest in barbies,lol etc

last year she had a yoto player which she loves but we have so many cards already.

experiences are no good as we live overseas

hit me with ideas please. The others are all so easy as they do a list but she never knows what to ask for

Thanks in advance

Biggest hit for my DC last year was Kids Alexa. Beats the Yoto hands down. Nice and easy to pack too.

Love all the ideas on this thread!

An instant camera plus lots of film, or a digital camera with a printer so you can print instant pictures, and some photo frames.
A kit for making something. Candle-making, say, or jewellery, or decorating a T-shirt.
A sponsored animal at a zoo (bonus points if you can visit at some point in the future or pick one local to where you are for Christmas and go there).
Some seeds and an area of garden or some pots to grow fruits, vegetables or flowers, and time set aside so you garden together.
A day or afternoon set aside for her to choose what to cook/bake, and you do this together, and serve a special meal or snack for the family.
A tent, with the promise of a night or two of camping adventures in the garden. Maybe a sibling would do this with her. (Might have to leave that one at home and take a photo of it with you for the gift-giving part).

Last on from me! Have a look at some more alternative childrens shops like Myriad, Conscious Craft, Yes Bebe, Babipur etc for some inspiration

Have to disagree in this one 😜 we live our yotos especially the mini ones. Car rides have never been so peaceful 😂

As somebody who loves board games, I will reccomend few board games my kids loved when they were five (no reading involved).

Enchanted Tower
www.amazon.co.uk/Drei-Magier-The-Enchanted-Tower/dp/B008YAATF4

I really don't know why this one doesn't get more love, but trust me it is beautiful and 5 year olds love it.

Also Qwirkle, Kingdomino. Magic Labyrinth, Dragomino...

All suitable for kids, and parents will love them too.

I mean, six, not five.

check also Spinderella.
