My girls are all grown up, and I have two lovely little 6 and 8 year olds coming to stay who I'd like to buy small gifts for.

Please give me any recommendations if you have girls this age - up to about £25 each, but flexible on budget.

Mini Jellycat plush
Anything with capybaras on it
Potion making kit
Slimes
Cute stationery set
Proper art supplies. Doesn't have to be expensive as lots of discount stores carry art stuff but it has to be "good" supplies for adults and not from the kids section
Mini wallet
LUSH bath bombs

Thank you! I’m sure I can find some things from that list 😊.

Jellycat amuseables or the keyring versions (which are still quite big!)

Craft kits, small lego set, fidget toys, I second potion kits and slime also. Puzzles, activity books with words earaches, mazes etc.

I feel like you have read my 7 year olds Xmas list haha ! What is the obsession with capybaras ? I thought it was just my daughter lol

Le Mieux mini pony or dog, found these to be very popular with my own and other children and lots of accessories you can go onto buy for further gifts. Best of all they’re mess free. Sorry many of the ideas given, slime and potion kits are my most hated presents as as parent (usually put straight in the bin at the first opportunity) and usually receive countless sets at parties (probably regifted from other equally un delighted parents)

Sticker Dolly books. There are masses of themes like mermaids, pets, seasons. Mine love them!

Anything Squishmallow themed! My two are also obsessed with gem art. These keyrings have kept them entertained for hours this week Gem art keyring kit
