My son has suddenly got three parties over the next couple of weekends, all for girls turning 3. I am wondering what to get in the way of small gifts for them all as my friends all have boys, or older girls so I don't really have any reference points. Any tips would be appreciated.


Thanks

I second Orchard Toys, though they seem hard to come by in ED. Online is a better bet.

Anything to do with role play:

toy babies

fancy dress costumes

doctors bags

kitchen equipment/fake food

tea set

The toy shop on the corner of Goose Green has lots and lots of stuff like this.

We've been given wooden models with magnetic clothes/shoes which have been very successful (also lots of things like this at the toyshop opposite EDT)

Books, books and books on any subject,

Sticker books seem to be a big hit - particularly the Dress-up ones with particular themes (dancers, world costumes, jobs) - Chener books on Lordship Lane has some, WHsmith's always have lots.

Colouring books and pens - you can never have enough.

And if my daughter received anything pink or to do with princesses she would be in heaven...

Think ELC has one if its 50% off sales at the moment.


My daughter is 3, 4 in January. She loves dolls, dressing them etc, any doll accessories (buggies etc), home things (tea sets /food / kitchen appliances etc) and is mad on pink and princesses?!?!? Nothing to do with me!!


She also loves the learning games / making things sets you can buy.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
