are they into jewellery at that age? any good ideas i know she likes bratz but i hate them and refuse to buy them!!!
help!!!
Oh there are so many things ;) Paris got a beautiful book on Faeries for Christmas with all these little hidey holes and lift out bites (from the people who do the pirateology etc range) and she LOVES these books. Each page has a little surprise for her ;)
Paris does like Jewelry but I think its something she'll appreciate more in a few years iykwim?
High School Musical is very big atm so anything related to that would be loved I'm sure.
What do you want to spend lol?
Age appropriate activity books usually go down well with littlies and their mums.
How about a little back-pack or trolley suitcase?

moneys not really an issue well without getting rediculous here!!!.. something nice she can look at and know ok so they didnt forget me lol iykwim? books ans activity books are a good idea ive been told she loves school
I have a 6 year old step-DD and she loves drawing, colouring in, anything arty. She got money for xmas and bought herself a Doodle Bear. It was $30 and it was from Big-W. You can also get Doodle Dolls and Doodle Monsters. Basically, its a teddy bear that comes with markers and they draw or write all over them and then when they want to re-do it stick it in the washing machine and it all comes off and they start again.
Just a suggestion, something crafty as well as kid-like and fun. If not there are so many things for 6yo girls, its a really good age group to buy for I think.
Oh and the other thing she got with her money (she got $50 for birthday as well as $50 for xmas) was a My Scene doll which is remote control. Just like a remote control car but its a doll! She races it up and down the hallway with her brother who has a remote control car. From memory that was about $50 and she got it from Target.
Doodlebears are awesome! Paris got one for her birthday and loves it! She has the one with the UV marker.
dora the xplorer dvd or watch.
pyjamas
hat
school bag
lunch box
:)
I dunno about the dora explorer, whilst my daughter still likes it her tastes are growing up somewhat and it might be a little young for her. Not nit picking ;) Just something to think about.
My 6yo loves perfume (I get her the pretty flower ones, not anything trashy). She's also into music so has a few CDs (once again, age-appropriate).
IF she loves school, why not a back to school pack? crayons, lunchbox etc? maybe even a diary - perfect for a 6 year old! mine loves hers
hannah montana???
I gave my friends 7yr old (not 6) for recently for Xmas a costume jewellery silver necklace with a silver butterfly and a book on how to make all sorts of paper fairies !! .... SHE JUST LOVED "EM :heartbeat:
... Or how about a musical carosel ... Now that's something for her to keep always : )
Oh definitely hannah montanna LOL! But then I know some 29 yr olds who love it too lmao ;) Hey maddysmum ;)
What about a jewellery box? DD2 hasone and loves it, it has the musical ballerina etc in it. You could put a small piece of jewellery in it too.
I agree with cailin re Dora, my DD has just turned 8 and I teach 6 yr olds and they are too "old" for Dora!! (in their minds anyway) My class all like High school musical too, Erin got 2 dolls from that for Christmas which sing!
hi noni - Jess loves High School Musical at the moment (so do I lol- Troy is a little hottie!!) but if your friend doesn't have access to foxtel she might not know about it. Maybe a CD of groovy dance songs for kids. Lip Gloss always goes down well in our house too, and Nighties are a favourite too.
I have found even kids without foxtel know High school musical! (who knows where from) our whole school seems to be obsessed with it LOL
Yeah I would say the same with regards to high school musical. Its huge at Paris' school too!
:
LMAO!!!!!!!!:cryinglaugh::cryinglaugh: yep im a sad fan!!
wow thanks guys lots to think about lots of great suggestions on here will have to go out and look!!
High School Musical has passed us by (and we do have Austar!) My 6yo girl loves anything she can be creative or crafty with - pens, crayons, textas, paints, you could get some mixed craft stuff like feathers, litle pompoms, stickersbeads, sequins, glitter etc and a good thick pad of paper for her to use.
Another thing she has which she likes is a Disney Princess projector, it has slides which you put in and trace around on paper, then can colour in, she seems to like that a lot (MIL gave it to her which means it's probably from Big W).
There are actually some really good things about Bratz - just avoid the ****ty ones (they are getting less ****ty I have found, must be listening to feedback!). They are multiracial (unlike Barbie), emphasis is on friendship and standing by your friends, and getting out there and doing something about things you care about (whether something as shallow as fashion or saving unwanted pets). There are also Bratz Kidz which are a bit like Skipper was for Barbie.
DD still likes Dora but I agree with those who said this age group is too old, I wouldn't buy her anything Dora now. She does love ponies (of the My Little.. variety) but there are others (Bratz ponies are more like real ponies though they still have long eyelashes and eyeshadow).
