Christmas Gift For Nearly 3 Year Old Girl

Options
Hi
I'm wanting to buy a gift(s) for my friend's daughter, I would like to spend around £20, not necessarily on one gift, I would be happy to buy several smaller items. I'm really struggling and would welcome some advice.

Thanks

    Hello

    I have a 3year old.

    Here are some things that my daughter has loved ( and useful).

    drink cups - they love these. Especially fancy ones with glitter or curly straws.

    lunchboxes are always handy.

    Backpack.

    My daughter loves these dominoes

    Umbrella

    Book gift voucher? we always love going to buy books.

    Another thing mine love is bath bits and pieces - like flashing toothbrushes, children's toothpaste, those flannels that expand, bath
    toys, childrens bubble baths.

  • My daughter is around that age and is into dressing up, disney princess dresses are great or dress up shoes and handbags, she loves them. She also adores her tea set and play food. Everyday she uses them to make us breakfast, feeding her toys and is great for creative play. The play food that has velcro so it can be chopped with a toy knife is her favourite. She has lots of other toys but these are the things she plays with wothout fail everyday, she also loves her books and will sit and read them (look at the pictures) for ages.
    Comping wishlist for 2017
    1. Family holiday 2. Christmas presents :rudolf: 3. Fishing stuff

  • Does she like animals? My dd like the pet carriers with animals in (dog or cat) to take the to the vets in. 2 for £8 I think in Asda.
    For your £20 you could get 4 of the 2 for £8 items and a card and I bet she'd be well chuffed.
    1,2 & 5p: Christmas day food £9.31
    10 & 20p: misc savings £2.70
    50p: Christmas presents £3.50
    £2: holidays £2.00

    my niece has just had her 3rd birthday, among lots of other things she got a toy guitar (pink and noisy lol) a Megablocks starter set (Tesco had a huge range, colour-co-ordinated and age-sorted) £10 I think that was, and she also got a really cute Megablocks horse stable with animals (also from Tesco).

    For Christmas we've got her a Rapunzel dressing up outfit (also Tesco now I come to think of it) and a Princesses backpack. I also have a pet and garden set which I bought in January, as she loves animals (horses especially).

    My daughters have all loved baking and kitchen things at that age & still do lo. Home bargains do a chef dressing up outfit for about £5 and you could buy a nice chidrens cookery /baking book the works do loads and you could even get some glittery cup cake toppings etc

    I woud also second the books suggestion. You could even offer to take her to somewhere like waterstones to choose one and have a drink and cake whilst you had a "big girls afternoon" her mum might love that as well

  • How about this Happyland treehouse reduced to £20 from £50 at Debenhams, I believe there may be a code or two knocking around too to get it even cheaper.

    Little girls are wonderful.....and if there's any they like more than anything else, it's got to be dressing up. Safe make-up and veg based nail polish...in fact just about anything to look 'grown-up' will go down a treat. (I have 11 Gchildren...!)
    Yes, I usually tell it as I see it and respond where I see the need, but never are my comments ment to be taken personally.
