    space hopper!
    Drop a brand challenge
    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    I've been Money Tipped!
    The new Lego Friends range has some good bits to build for under £20.

    If she likes jigsaws, she'll love lego.
    Who made hogs and dogs and frogs?

    Books!! My friends are all starting to have/plan families, and I figured I'll be the mad aunty who always buys them (age appropriate) books!!

    I could start with "My first words", then go onto the hungry caterpillar, and just go on from there! At 5 I would think stuff like Matilda or The Twits??

    I love the idea of a space hopper :D (nostalgia for my 70s childhood..)

    Jacks, is she a girly girl who likes pink, dolls, etc, or would she more prefer books, or sciencey toys, or art and craft things?

    Books - there are so many fantastic ones out there. My four year old loves looking at books and being read to. I have just finished reading 'The Twits' to her and she loved it.

    my 5 yr old loves her "bobbledy heads" aka littlest pet shop toys :)

    Also she loves hair sets! As in toy hairdryers, tongs, brushes etc.

    And princess dresses! If you can find her fave cartoon getting a dress up outfit would be a great gift!

    Crafts always go down well with the kids, not always so much with the parents lol

    I hate "girly" stuff but I think the Zoobles are great fun. They're a bit like a girly version of the Bakugan toys made for boys.
