yes i know this is incredicbly lazy of me but i would like some inspiration-
dd1 is very arty (and therefore has mucho art equipment); likes fairies and princesses but doesn't have much access to adverts so is not aware too much of barbie/bratz/pollypocket etc so i'd like to avoid brand stuff if poss (as most is crap and a rip-off IME); loves role play and dressing up... er...
she loves playing shops and schools with her toys... i've asked her what she'd like but she's been fairly vague up to now so i guess she's open to ideas. as am i!
