Hello


I have a couple of friends who's daughters turn 5 next month. I know I could ask them what they would like but I would really like to get them a nice gift without having to ask. I haven't a clue what 5 year old girls are into these days. My daughter is only 2. Can anyone offer any help please


Thanks

Catherine

I always buy craft kits for little girls, my daughter (just turned 6) loves that sort of thing, and it seems most of her friends do too. Beginner sewing (I love the Galt sets made from thick foam, easy for little fingers), decorate your own type kits (headbands are a favourite), beads/necklace kits. Rainbow looms are the current craze sweeping through school, my daughter was given one for her birthday last week and loves it, as does my son.
My eldest received a lovely "grow flowers in this bag" thing, but after the initial stage you had to bloody separate out the shoots and repot them into 10 separate pots (pots/soil/space to store 10 pots not provided!), or face questions about "why are you killing the shoots mumm?"! Grrr.

    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open. 
    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
