Stuck for ideas DD 4th birthday

AM really stuck for ideas . DD1 will be 4 and she isn't into anything special she plays with just about anything. She likes arty things ( stickers, colouring,painting) but after going through 11 pages on Amazon nothing grabbed me ! At Christmas she got a bike and a scooter ( from MIL). As she is having quite a big party then dh and I just want to get her a few smallish things. She doesn't really show a huge interest in dolls she has some but hasn't shown an interest in Barbie just yet so want to avoid that tack!
Anybody got any suggestions please ?

Leapster hand held game (and cartridges). We had one that dd could play with all she wanted when she first got it. It was then put away, and became her 'travel toy' - so reappeared when we were making long journeys. I'd often get her a new game for the journeys too.

Start a collection of Sylvanian Family toys, and give her one of the 'houses' to start with. You can then give her a 'new' family every birthday/Christmas.

Traditional Doll's house

Start a collection of Schleich animals. DD must have over 100 now, and they have been her absolute favourites for imaginative play - can be played with in the bath, car, house, airplane, train, etc.

Ooh thanks some of those I have never heard of.
Lego we have and she likes it but its not OTT hence I haven't gone down the playmobile route plus here ( Italy) it is very expensive!

How about a craft box for storing all her arty things in along with some more PVA glue shiny paper, googly eyes etc. to kit it out? Something like this: www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/0219884/c_1/1%7Ccategory_root%7CGifts%20and%20hobbies%7C14 417351/c2/3%7C15701076%7CArt%20and%20crafts%7C14417376/c3/4%7Ccat_14417376%7CPaper%20craft%7C14417 396.htm?engine=froogle&keyword=4+Litre+Clear+Craft+Box+With+2+Removable+Trays&_${ja}=tsid:11527%7Ccc:% 7Cprd:0219884%7Ccat:Gifts+%26+Hobbies+%3E+Art+And+Crafts+%3E+Paper+Craft

The chicken socks kits by Klutz are good too if she's in to arty things: www.klutz.com/chicken-socks My DD has enjoyed the handbags one and we've given the monsters one to various friends for their birthdays too.
