Hi,

Does anyone have very cool gift ideas for a 6 year old girl. She's very laid back and one of my daughter's good friends at school but I don't personally know her very well. Would love to be able to get her something she would really appreciate. Not a clue what to look for though!

What about something arty - my daughter had a set of Sharpies and she loves them (also not a girly princess sort of kid)
Swimming goggles (she will be learning to swim at 6) and a fun swimming cap
Board game

Lego

Does your daughter have any ideas?

Space light projector for their bedroom. Gem digging kit. Interesting book- / fact book. Science set. Personalised mug. Acrylic pens (some of the above are dependent on how keen the parents are on crafty things in the house!). Projector clock.
loom band kit

Science kits are class. My neighbours kid at this age wasn't a girly girl and played regularly with my son. They had matching remote control stunt cars from b&m I think...hers was in pink & purple, his was green and blue!

This is a big hit with all ages
