Gift ideas for 6 yr old girl?

[mrsruffallo]

What are you buying yours?

what kind of things does she normally play with?
My DD is 5 and getting a really big pram that will last her (size wise) for several years. she will absolutely love it, and as she already has a very small pram it has not occured to her to ask santa for another one, so it will be a huge surprise
Although I know lots of 5/6 yr olds who have outgrown prams and dolls.

does she have a bike, a scooter, a dolls house?

6y DD is having from us:
digital piano (not really counted in budget though as pretty much a one off investment instead);
Take That tickets (suprise from FC);
a rainbow light thing (got it free with voucher in the end);
Mamma Mia DVD;
some books;
some sewing bits and pieces and probably some craft bits as stocking fillers.
We have also bought her a new outfit to wear when we go out for dinner on Christmas Day, but she has seen this.

PILs and great grandad have bought her a CD player with iPod docking station. (DH is getting new iPod for Christmas so she will get ours then).

My parents have bought her a Barbie Plane/Boat toy, plus some other bits. They also arrange for the Christmas fairy to leave a new set of PJs or nightie at their place on Christmas Eve.

My brother has bought her electronic drumsticks and a magic set.

My sister and boyf have bought her craft kits, inc a Hannah Montana one.

I think BIL and SIL are getting HSM doll.

She will also have some gifts from other relatives and also friends.

DD is an only child, only grandchild and one side and one of two the other side, and I have quite a big family who still buy.

DD turned 7 at the end of Oct.

We have bought her

MP3 player in shocking pink
Crayola Creations Illumination Station
Cordz
Bop it in pink
Downfall
Mastermind
Faraway Tree collection

New pens and stuff (she's very into drawing)
Some books to read herself as recommended by Hulababy !

She is NOT getting craft sets as her birthday is the second week of Jan and I have found from experience that that's the main thing she tends to get as party gifts from friends.

Ooh, mind you, might have to search for Dalmatian pups in a bag now!
