Amazon messed up sending me the Octopod, and I'm wondering if this isn't a stroke of luck because she has sort of outgrown Octonauts. But I'd like something playset-ish like that. Her little sister is getting the Sylvanian caravan. She's not very tomboyish - without wishing to make offensive gender generalisations - she likes monsters and bugs and dinosaurs but plays with them in a very conversational way, likes animals but doesn't like pink, babies, dolls, princesses, and most playsets seem to fall into domestic or warlike. I think Sylvania is too twee for her. We already have a lot of Playmobil, which has been very successful, but I'd like to try something different because they're getting more of that for Christmas. Any ideas, anything that's worked for you?

Can't you go to a toyshop and see what takes her fancy?

You might get more response if you post this in Christmas.
