Ideas for a very special mummy/daughter day?

High tea would be my idea as well. My best friend took her 6 year old her mum and grandma and they all had a blast!

We did a family photo shoot with my DD & she loved it - getting her hair & 'make-up' done and changing into different outfits. You could always get a pedicure and nails done somewhere, they'd love to do your DD

SOmething at the theatre? We have Annie on at the moment down here - not sure what you have up there? Or another concert type event?? A pampering session? You could get mani's/pedi's and then go out for lunch/afternoon tea?

Maybe take her to one of those beading places and make a special necklace or whatever with good quality beads. While you're making the necklace, tell a story so each part of the necklace represents a part of the story. I did this once with my DD1 and made up a story about a queen who loved her daughter the princess so much she travelled out in the royal carriage to find some treasure. Each jewel she found said something about the princess, like the blue one was about how she speaks the truth, the red one about how loved she is, etc... Just make sure you commit the story to memory cos you will asked to tell it many times over .

Personally I would steer clear of dress up/portraity type things - too much emphasis on appearance. Choose something that shows you love your daughter for her spirit, her keen mind, her kindness, the unique person that she is.

My DD is much younger but she talks and talks and talks about anytime we go to some kind of 'show', you know a play for kids or something like that. Being school holidays perhaps something is running?
Little Big Shots is touring at the moment, it is a film festival for kids, perhaps see if there is a session that would suit?

a night in a fancy hotel?
gold class movie?
theatre show? (musical and the like)
visit to the ballet?
some kind of mum/kid class?? Cooking/craft/pottery?? (they have some down here for kids - maybe something similar up your way??)
