| The daughter of very close friends of ours is turning 6 on Saturday and we want to get a nice gift. She has grandparents that spoil her and her 2 sisters pretty hard and they seem to have more toys than I've ever seen in my life. I can't imagine that another toy is really going to be that interesting? Please let me know if you have any really great gift ideas for girls. Price under $40. |
| Give an experience rather than a physical gift. |
| Expereince gift that won't be too hard on the parents? Is there a nearby indoor trampoline park or painting place to which you could buy a class pass, studio time, or gift certificate? |
| Highlights or Ranger Rick magazine subscription. |
| Can she read? Get her a joke book and a whoopie cushion. Everyone loves those. |
| Kiwi crate box? Gift card to pick out her own clothes of books? |

Pogo Stick - my 7YO got one for Christmas and everyone wanted to use it.
Here is a link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WTDXBTI/ref=s9_hps_bw_g21_i1 Read the Reviews! Other stuff that 6YO girls love are crafts. This was the go to gift last year: http://www.amazon.com/Orb-Factory-Limited-Butterfly-Pillow/dp/B007BEJBEO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1454522051&sr=8-1&keywords=orb+factory+plush+craft |
| My latest go-to is a selection of new arts and crafts items: plain paper, stickers, variety of crayons and markers, few kinds of tape and glue. |
|
Clothing?
|
Not OP, but this would drive me crazy as a parent and wonder if you were on crack, sorry. We are already drowning in everything you mention! DROWNING! |
|
Definitely craft sets. My 6 yo girl LOVED craft sets and there are some really fun ones at the good toy stores, or even at grown-up arts stores like Plaza Arts in DTSS.

Kid-friendly museum membership, if it's not too expensive
Magazine subscription to Ranger Rick or one of the Cricket line of magazines. Books Craft kits |
| B&N gift card -- DC loves the experience of shopping and picking something out. |
Sorry, I would never allow my child to use a pogo stick. (I'm the wife of a pediatrician.) My kids do love the Orb Factory pillows, thought. Here are some other great gifts: http://www.amazon.com/Snap-Circuits-Arcade-Electronics-Discovery/dp/B00VKRK7K0/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1454523447&sr=8-7&keywords=snap+circuits http://www.amazon.com/Smithsonian-Rock-and-Gem-Dig/dp/B00200JX3I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1454523519&sr=8-1&keywords=excavation+kit+jewel microscope & slides Perplexus |
