Just laid everything out and she hasn't got much compared to her brother. Any ideas welcome please. Shes very girly. She's got a camera from GP's. I've got her a couple of Barbie bits and a doll for doing hair but desperately need some ideas please! 🙏🏻

Dd loves a Polly Pocket set, they make quite a nice gift.

cheddercherry · 20/12/2023 18:12

Crafty bits like glittery pens and washi tape - if you have a kenji nearby they have very cute bits in.

Second Polly Pockets, I loved them as a kid!

Bath bombs from lush, they have a pink bubble wand.

Nail stickers.

A set or beads to make her own jewellery.

What about some cute ear muffs? I saw someone buying some yesterday they were super sweet for a girlie girl. V fluffy with a sparkly gold band.

The costumes from Meri Meri are adorable too.

This Cookeez makery oven toy looks great. My 5yr old DS would love it but I’ve finished his shopping.

Other ideas:
an easel - saw Encanto themed ones on BargainMax and Costway
squishmallow
Bluey house/set I think Asda had some in store on sale
Disney Duplo or Lego set - they do a small Duplo Disney castle. There’s a Duplo gingerbread house which is about £16 now on sale.

Has she got a Furby? Got one for my 5yo goddaughter for her birthday last month and she loves it.

Oldieandgoldie · 20/12/2023 18:26

Amazon colour your own t-shirt, with washable pens. Craft sets from the Range or Hobbycraft eg pottery, painting, weaving, knitting Nancy, Pom-Pom making, stained glass sun catchers, children’s gardening stuff, diy bird-feeder, cake/biscuit baking kit (you could even make your own) with a favourite printed cookie recipe, initial purse from Matalan or Accessorise, five year old girls are easy to buy for. Good luck!

Raid Claire’s Accessories and the Works, lots of glittery, pink, unicorn things.

MeinKraft · 20/12/2023 18:29

If you have a b&m local they have 3 for £20 on toys until Christmas, I got a few bits for 4yo DD today, craft sets, bath bomb making kits, surprise eggs etc

Curlimal
A unicorn blanket/ sleeping bag thing with a built in pillow she sleeps in over summer
Headbands. So many headbands.
Curlimal
Charm bracelet making kit (about £10 amazon)

Bath stickers - my 5 year old finds these hilarious! you can get dressing up ones or funny animals/ faces

New dressing gown/ hat/ gloves

an LCD tablet (they are about £16 and clear the drawing when you press the button)

Screwball scramble

Glitterandmud · 21/12/2023 21:12

Squishmallows are popular and a cheap way to pad out gifts, b&m had some today slightly cheaper than I have seen them elsewhere.

An oodie style thing as well, got my dc these last Christmas and they were a big hit and worn lots!

MyopicBunny · 21/12/2023 21:12

My dd has the Sylvanian families sea themed fairground ride thing and she loves that.

SkankingWombat · 21/12/2023 21:49

More detail needed OP: what sort of things does she like in addition to what you've already bought (crafting, small world, STEM etc?), what size are you trying to make up bulk-wise and what is your budget?
