My friend is having her baby this week

I'm looking for gift ideas for her older daughter - any suggestions?

she'll get loads of pressies - why not promise an afternoon at soft play or swimming or tea at yours. mum gets a break too then.

I'm tempted to say a DVD so your friend can get some peace, but maybe something like Feltkids, or magnetic sticker boards, something she can amuse herself with? I am guessing her parents will get her a baby doll or something along those lines.
