gift card to make meaning in bethesda - fun place to do an activity with your mom/dad/sister/neighbor

You are the nanny. An employee. Why are you competing to give this rich kid a special material object? Stick with something only you can do and leave the materialism to those with the funds.

They have American Girl crafts on Amazon that would fit into your budget. My DD is obsessed with AG and crafts and loves them. They all say 8+ but some are more simple than others.

Japanese puzzle erasers.

Paper making kit
Snap Circuits

Puzzles, card games (regular deck or Uno,e tc), Goldiblox, board games etc.

Maybe tickets to a show? Like something at Imagination Stage or Glen Echo?

Magazine subscription is great. There are lots of great ones and it's nice to get mail every month.

PP here. If you can order in time, you can get an Elsa dress for an AG doll on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/180503818/princess-elsa-dress-american-girl-doll

My 6 y/o loves this game: http://www.bellalunatoys.com/eeboo-fairytale-spinner-game/reviews

She is also into AG dolls, and the "Tooth Fairy" got her a pair of glasses for her AG doll that she loved so much.

OP here. Thanks all for the ideas!

She does already have lots of dress up stuff but that's a great thought.

As for the games, I know she has the Olaf in Trouble and Frozen Uno, but maybe not the Monopoly, I'd have to check!

The crafts are good, and sometimes my go to - because I know they are something that will be used. I got her lots of crafts for Christmas so was trying to come up with something else.

Thanks to the nanny poster, that's a good idea as well - her birthday party is going to be a tea party with AG dolls so that is spot on!

Another nanny here. If she's like one of my past charges, physical gifts aren't likely to impress, because she knows she can get whatever she wants. I would suggest an outing, with one or two friends, maybe a tea party picnic at the park, either Frozen theme or with AG dolls?

For turning 6 here are 2 crafts that little girls loved:

You should be able to get them on sale at AC Moore.

Is she into board games/card games yet? There are several (like Trouble) that have a Frozen version.

Hi! I'm a nanny to an awesome little girl who is turning 6 next month! I want to get her a great birthday gift, but am a bit stumped, as she already has tons of toys/books/art supplies/you name it. Any ideas or suggestions? She's into Frozen, American Girl, arts & crafts, reading, Hello Kitty, etc. My budget is $20-$30. Thanks!
