idea for presents?

Dear all

My niece was my flower girl earlier this year and I want to get her a really nice present - c£40.

She has a puppy, and is 5 although as the youngest of 3 she is advanced for her age!

Any ideas?

Thanks x

Just to say this is for Christmas

Are you spending the same on the others? If they are all children I wouldn't be happy with one having a substantially bigger present than the others.

If you want to give her something "extra" could you give her a framed photo of her/you at the wedding?

What about a personalised little gift, something like a small teddy with a ribbon sash with a nice little message embroidered into it? I'm sure they can be ordered on E bay. I did this for christening gifts a while ago and they were really well accepted and kept as keepsakes.

Stop with the spamming, DomingoC. We know you're gearing up for a link to a Xmas tree website...

Its difficult to make a recommendation, not knowing what sort of thing you have in mind. When my niece is 5 (a couple of years away yet) I expect things on the list like board games (guess who, buckaroo, hungry hippos for example), jigsaw puzzles, craft kits (you could put one together yourself or get bits separately and put them all into a big craft kit), roller skates, dance mats, flashing trainers, novelty slippers, sparkly party dresses, fancy dress outfits, dolls... try and think what she'd really love, and go for that even if it doesn't come up to the price.

Personally, I'm not a big lover of sentimental, ornamental things, but for another niece's christening present, I got a single duvet cover embroidered with her name- useful but special too.
