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.

    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them 
    • Corbyn was unelectable - he got trashed by Boris who was a buffoon. It was a good job too because I would have hated to see Corbyn and his rag-tag bunch of far-left university politics backbenchers try to lead the country through Covid.  It is completely understandable why Starmer and the Labour Party want to purge Momentum from within their ranks and Cllr McAsh has fallen victim of that.
