looking for one large ($150ish) gift idea for my 5 yo dd

does anyone have any ideas for her, for christmas? she's into princesses, barbies, highschool musical, etc. but she has way too many toys, so i want to get something substancial for her rather than multiple toys.

 

Does she have any interest in the American Girl Dolls? They are pretty pricey. I think my DD was 7 before she got one, but at 9 - she still loves it. I almost hate to see the catalogs come in the mail, because they have the CUTEST collections!

not yet. i'm not sure i want to turn her onto it!

 

Does she have a large doll house? That's what we got DD when she was about 5. Her and her brothers still get in there and play with it. She wants her updated to one that looks like this TRU Doll house, but her's looks almost the same.

 

Maybe a swing set or a bike.

 

We are getting my 5yo DD a large dollhouse this year. She has so many little things, it should work out well.

 

Not sure if you are for video games, but we got my oldest son a Nintendo Gameboy when he was 4 1/2. Then he got a Nintento DS for his 6th birhtday. He loves it. They make them in pink and also have barbie games and stuff for them. He also has a Leapster that plays learning games.

 

How about a MyTwinn doll? http://www.mytwinn.com/ You customize the hair color and style, eye color, face shape, skin color....they're sooo cool. I'd get one for Ally if I could convince dh to let me spend $130 on a doll.

If you decide to get the doll, you can get a better deal on QVC than on the mytwinn website: http://www.qvc.com/qic/qvcapp.aspx/app.detail
