Help gift ideas for young girls

I have two nieces aged six and nearly three. I have boys and don't have a clue what presents to buy girls.

I thought about putting a box of little presents together for each or them.
Now I'm stuck.

Any ideas would be most welcome.

  • I have two girls granted they are now a lot older than your nieces, my nieces are about the same age though, I usually buy craft type gifts, like bead necklaces/braclets etc. Paint by colours, plastic food cooking stuff for the youngest, dressing up clothes & make up. Ask their mum if they have a favorite doll see if you can buy it some clothes or extra's they all seem to come with these days, hope these help a little happy shopping.

    I've just got my youngest niece a Disney princess book with her name typed into the story's very sweet. Got it from https://www.identitydirect.co.uk you can add their family & friends names to the story too.
  • I could tell you a few of the things I've bought for my 4yo dd if that would help........

    Angelina Ballerina puzzle
    Sportz Bratz doll (hate them myself :o )
    Bratz Annual
    Disney Princess purse and bubblebath
    Buckeroo Game
    Wooden Spoon puppet kit from ELC
    Skipping rope.

    Hope something on that list helps.:xmassmile

  • Have a look in your local Poundland. They have some really good stocking fillers and craft type stuff in at the moment.

    Also lots of kids videos at £1.00 too. Fifi, Titch, Balamory, Boo, Brum etc etc there are adult ones too.

    Pink and sparkly

    Sorry, that might not be a great help to you....

    puzzles, hair things, craft things (as othes have already said!), bags - anything to *put things in*, Tesco's and Asda do their own version of Barbie dolls and ELC have lots of bits under a fiver....

    I have made my goddaughter a cookery kit. I bought her a book for her birthday and I have bought her a set from Mothercare with apron, rolling pin etc, muffin cases, measuring cups, measuring spoons (easier for a 6 year old than scales) and some cake toppers. Gives her something to do with mummy too.

    I've bought craft sets before as well.
