Presents for a 7year old who loves big cats

[Theduchy]

Bit niche I know. She wants to be a zookeeper when she grows up. I've bought her a zoo experience but obviously it's not much to unwrap. She already has tons of cuddlies and I've got her a calendar and books. Just wondered if anyone had stumbled across anything?

Can you sponsor a lion or tiger? Perhaps at a zoo local to you?

Lego do a tiger creator set .

Someone on here suggested Fahlo and it has lions to track

A kitten...

Am sure you already have but check the experience purchased includes her age group. Some are very restrictive for ages who can participate.

As for other gift ideas

A cushion with her name on and her favourite big cat

Crazy about cats book by Owen Davey

Something like this zoo lanyard

Thank you everyone

Yes, @Justhereforthechristmasthreads it definitely includes her age group. We're having to travel a few hours away for it as our local zoo doesn't do experiences for kids but South Lakes Zoo does.

@SleepyRooster absolutely no chance 😂

@onemoretine thank you for suggesting that! I've never heard of it. That's a great suggestion.

There’s a great Ravensburger jigsaw with big cats on. It doesn’t have a lot of pieces so would probably be suitable for a 7yo.

I’ve also seen these cute hair clips www.crafts4kids.co.uk/rex-london-wild-wonders-leopard-hair clips and there are matching hair bands available too.

Dd8 loves Big cats and would love to be a big cat vet alongside horses. She collects the Schleich figures, I get her any big cat she doesn’t have, this year baby jaguar.

Lots of big cat books non fiction & fiction. Zoe’s Rescue zoo has lots of big cat stories along with Holly Webb ones, it’s Star this year and Butterfly Lion by Michael Morpurgo.

Big Cat mug with a mug cake sachet/hot chocolate.
I found a tiger necklace a few weeks ago in Claire’s Accessories.
I also got a cat anatomy colouring book a while ago, it’s quite detailed but she’ll love it and pick up some of the details.
For her birthday she has a Maneki -Neko, the lucky cat with a moving paw. I think she’ll love it on her desk.

Would she be interested in Lego, Playmobil or Sylvanian Families? My 7yo enjoys these

Shleich are great. Lots of scope there.

Maybe for the longer term supporting a charity who help preserve habitat? That's their biggest threat in the wild (tigers at least).

Hope she has an amazing Christmas!

The wildlife playmobil might suit?

@EcoCustard thank you so much for all those ideas! Especially the boom titles. And the reminder about Schleich. She has some and they're well played with.

@Glitterbaby17 @Alltheyearround @Hibernatalie thank you all! Really appreciate all the ideas. Given me loads!

We bought DD something like this when she was about 8. It's still in her bedroom 20 off years later.

We have this book, which is lovely.

A tiger or leopard onesie?

Big cat diaries dvds are great
My eldest actually wore his out!

Top Trumps do a predator pack that looks like it features big cats.

@Theduchy The range had some nice big cat stationery when I popped in the other day, felt covered cheetah notebooks, pencils & notepads.
