Three year old toy - lots of caveats

[Anonymous]

DD2 is turning 3. DD1 is 7 and was the only grandchild on both sides until sister was born. I feel like we have EVERYTHING. Normally would ask for experience gift (tickets to Disney on ice, gymnastics classes, museum membership). We have an infant and although I understand risk is low, I am not comfortable with indoor with the kids yet, so experience gifts are out - already have membership to zoo.

Need a "big ticket" gift from grandparents. Contribution to 529 is not what they will do, so that is out. They like the razzle of the open. It is what it is.

We have bikes, scooter, trike, animal play center, bounce house, swing set, multiple pop up play tents, fort maker, play kitchen, doll house, baby dolls and all the things (crib, stroller, carrier....), Kiddie pool, water table.

Any ideas? I am dreading being asked. If I say "markers" because that is what she needs, I will either get a 2,000 marker set or just markers and other random stuff.

Would love any cool ideas I haven't thought of

I understand the nonsense of this post, but please help anyway.

One of those miniature cars that actually drive? Robot puppy? A chest full of new dress up clothes? iPad? Her own Dyson stick vacuum (my 3yo would like this lol)?

Dress up clothes in a nice chest?

Play house

Toy instruments (my kids about that age LOVE the Quercetti set of trumpet, sax, clarinet… they sounds ok too)

Nice markers plus some more expensive crafts like Aquarellum, paint your own dino/unicorn, etc.

Digital microscope that you can take on hikes or binoculars for kids

I know you said no experience gifts, but what about pick your own berries and make jam with grandma after? My 3 year old would have loved that
