Ideas & Inspiration please for b'day presents for dd1 who's 6

[Moomin]

I've gone completely blank - no idea at all.

We've decided against a bike for now. She's ahving a small picnic party for some friends and we'll do a family day out/meal type thing as well. But present from me and dh??? and grandparents will be asking for ideas too soon.

help! SHe's creative, arty... er... she loves pets but she aint getting one!

I know I'm being pathetic but this year I really don't have a clue. HELP!

bindeez - arty

wellies/umbrella set

book of craft/creative things to make

Hope that is some help.

P.S the Bindeez are fab fun
Bindeez

are bindeez just like hama beads, if so a great present.

.. but perhaps not so great, twinset, if you are receiving them !

I was after ideas yesterday for dd . Sylvanian Families seemed popular but we are trying to avoid starting any new collections. Wondering about a Furreal animal (we already have a FR kitten)

they don;t really bother me but dp is always moaning about finding little beads all over the carpet.

I like new collections, you can just go on mindlessly adding to them every Christmas Dd has a Furreal friend that I thought she'd love but after a bit of interest the first day it's never been seen again. I don't know if you can still get them but there's also a thing called Doggy Daycare which comes in various sets and sizes, she loved those too.

Isn't Doggy Daycare on the Mattel recall list ?

Yes, it is. I don't see any issue unless you have toddlers around though really- dd didn't put anything in her mouth after she was about 18 months. It's because the dogs have magnets in them to attach to the babies.

My dd, also 6, has a Furreal cat - she LOVES it. Was really reluctant to get it - I actually find it quite spooky - but for her it is a real pet substitute.

You arrange the beads in the choosen design or make your own on the supplied palate and spray with water and leave to set! takes 30-45mins then hey presto a 'thing'

Not as strong as hama beads so not good as key fobs.

tamacotchi?

My DD2 is 6 next week she has asked for a desk with a lift up lid to keep all her arty bits and bobs in.
Can't wait to give it to her and see her sitting there doing her stuff!

MatNanPlus - those bindeez things look fab! we have a wee 6 year old girl to buy gift for and I was totally uninspired (my oldest is a 4yo boy!). Can you get them in regualar shops?

Thanks for these - has set my rusty old cogs going again. The Furreal animals are spooky - there's one in the window of our local Cats Protection League and it makes me jump everytime we go past! Think she'd love it.

She also started making noises about Baby Annabel today, so I've got a few things to look at now... hurrah

we are getting for dd a watch for her 6th birthday

Tassisssss we got them from a toy shop in Cirencester, i know woolworths online do them.
