Her older sisters ended up picking out a fabulous (junky, but fabulous) set of about 2 dozen costume jewelry rings and a Belle lotion/perfume set, so similar to some things you suggested. She doesn't really have a "WOW" toy, but at this point I think she'll like all the little doo-dads better anyway! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-five-year-old-want#post-2925803 Mon, 13 Dec 2021 17:49:06 +0000 SteelerGirl 2925803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We celebrate Hanukkah so we're already done opening presents this year. My 5 year old daughter loved these gifts the most:<br /> A locket necklace with a unicorn on the front<br /> A pink Cub Coat<br /> A LOL Surprise makeup kit<br /> Bath confetti, bath color tablets, and bath fingerpaint<br /> A hoola hoop </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-five-year-old-want#post-2925750 Fri, 10 Dec 2021 12:17:49 +0000 IRunForFun 2925750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PinkElephant: 🤣 Yup we have the Spirit stable and a KidKraft mansion. LO’s birthday is end of January so maybe I’ll be able to find the Gabby’s Dollhouse for that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-five-year-old-want#post-2925748 Fri, 10 Dec 2021 11:57:56 +0000 PinkElephant 2925748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@IRunForFun: I told my older girls she could just put the figures in our (nice...huge....EXPENSIVE) wooden Hape House (or the Barbie Mansion, or the portable Barbie princess house, or the Little People Elsa palace, or the Melissa &amp; Doug Castle, or the Spirit stable...as you can see, we're SUPER short on doll buildings here) - but they were into the WOW factor, which I get and appreciate. </p> <p>Hopefully the resellers return them after Christmas, and we can all snag them on clearance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-five-year-old-want#post-2925747 Fri, 10 Dec 2021 11:56:09 +0000 PinkElephant 2925747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyPenny: Sooo much cute stuff. As the mom of three girls (9, 7, and 5), I urge you....DON'T DO IT! :) The cute stuff just keeps coming (and changes from year to year - if I would bought things a few years ago, my kids would be disappointed because instead of cute animals, unicorns, and fairies, now everything is mermaids, narwhals, and llamas). :) :) Their interests are also shockingly varied; the oldest really likes LEGO and American Girl dolls, the middle plays with only dolls with fully articulated arms and legs like OMG or Rainbow High, not Barbie because they don't bend (she's a dancer, so I guess she is really aware of how they move); the youngest is more into tiny things like cars, shopkins, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-five-year-old-want#post-2925736 Wed, 08 Dec 2021 19:40:51 +0000 IRunForFun 2925736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyLayneAZ: My 4 year old wants this dollhouse too, and yeah it’s sold out, but she also has a perfectly good dollhouse already!!! </p> <p>The thing I think she’ll be most excited about is a makeup set, she asked for one and this one seems to have it all. I hope she likes it. </p> <p>Tomons Kids Washable Makeup Kit, Fold Out Makeup Palette with Mirror, Make Up Toy Gifts for Girls - Safety Tested- Non Toxic <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08QVKYD8R/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_EF2ABDY00X83TJ28ZFQ2" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08QVKYD8R/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_EF2ABDY00X83TJ28ZFQ2</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-five-year-old-want#post-2925735 Wed, 08 Dec 2021 18:59:32 +0000 agold 2925735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyPenny: That's so funny. I didn't even really check the ages for my 3 and 5 yos. I got the tunnel, cool lite brite looking thing, a gel writing pad, a little make up purse (for the 5 yo), the make up vanity for my 10yo niece, the ear pods for my niece, and I can't think what else. I seriously love all that they had to offer. </p> <p>Just as an aside, I also really like Hape toys and I try to support Bannor Toys, a little wood company. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-five-year-old-want#post-2925732 Tue, 07 Dec 2021 20:38:54 +0000 JennyPenny 2925732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@agold: YES! I was seeing those deals and having seriously fight the urge to buy toys labeled age 8+ because they seemed so cute and were such a good deal. But I so do not need to hold onto potential presents for 5 or more years :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-five-year-old-want#post-2925731 Tue, 07 Dec 2021 17:17:47 +0000 agold 2925731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyPenny: I got a lot of fao stuff at target for the kids in my family. it is all so cute and looks like it will get the "wow" factor upon opening. Target did a buy two get one free offer not too long ago. Target is doing it again, but not with fao toys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-five-year-old-want#post-2925730 Tue, 07 Dec 2021 15:57:09 +0000 JennyPenny 2925730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD is only 1.5 but I remember feeling like the FAO Schwarz collection at Target had a TON of cute stuff for older girls, so much so that I had to hold myself back from buying it in advance. The tea set, princess play tent, pretend purses, etc all look so nice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-five-year-old-want#post-2925729 Tue, 07 Dec 2021 15:15:46 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 2925729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kayla0416: yeah, its been tough LOL her bday is in April, so not terribly far away... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-five-year-old-want#post-2925728 Tue, 07 Dec 2021 15:10:42 +0000 kayla0416 2925728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyLayneAZ: Oh, yep I'm getting that message too.

When I try to add it to my cart, it tells me (basically) its in high demand and to try again later lol thank you for trying though lol </p> <p>@PinkElephant: @Miss Ariel: I've seen it listed for like $250 on Amazon (resold I'm sure) and eBay, but, no I'm not going to over pay by that much for something that should be $60ish! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-five-year-old-want#post-2925726 Tue, 07 Dec 2021 15:02:48 +0000 kayla0416 2925726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyLayneAZ: Is this what you're talking about?

So ridiculous. I wound up just settling on a Gabby doll instead. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-five-year-old-want#post-2925724 Tue, 07 Dec 2021 14:53:34 +0000 PinkElephant 2925724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JennyLayneAZ: solidarity. It’s literally the only thing her sisters want to buy her. I have been looking since Sept/Oct to no avail; so many order pickups cancelled. I’ve got the figures, but no house. </p> <p>@catgirl: @kayla0416: thank you! Those are some good idea. And yes, Scribble Scrubbies saved my life when the big sisters were doing Zoom School during the beginning of the pandemic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-five-year-old-want#post-2925723 Tue, 07 Dec 2021 14:35:10 +0000 catgirl 2925723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, when my DD was 5 she asked Santa for kid size reusable shopping bags :silly: (which she got and loved).</p> <p>But some other ideas:</p> <p>Jewelry Box<br /> Canopy for her room - could go over a bed or set up in a corner for a reading nook. Add fairy lights to make it magical.<br /> Hanging pod/tent swing - could be for inside or outside<br /> Star projector light<br /> A coding robot (we have botley 2.0 because we wanted one that didn't need a tablet to use)<br /> Camera - either a kids one or a basic digital camera<br /> Crazy fort set </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-five-year-old-want#post-2925722 Tue, 07 Dec 2021 13:40:14 +0000 JennyLayneAZ 2925722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh. The ONLY thing she'll talk about is a Gabby's Dollhouse Purrfect Dollhouse, which, of course, I can't find. :crying: </p> <p>So, we got her some arts &amp; crafts stuff, a unicorn nightlight, a watch, new jammies, a bunch of new movies, some pretend play jewelry... I dunno. I'm sad I can't get here the one thing she's asked for, but it'll be on the list to get her for her birthday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-does-your-five-year-old-want#post-2925717 Tue, 07 Dec 2021 11:04:09 +0000 kayla0416 2925717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also have 3 girls!

She's the third girl, and while we don't buy our kids toys outside of birthdays or holidays....with three girls all within 4.5 years of each other, they have plenty of building toys, dolls, art supplies, hair accessories....she doesn't need a new scooter or bicycle because the next size is always waiting for her from one of her sisters.</p> <p>After a lot of talking, we finally made a list for Santa, but there is no real "WOW" item on there that she desperately wants or will be thrilled by...her sisters both have these things, either by request or sure-to-be-a-hit surprises, and I just don't want the five year old to be disappointed. If she is, Christmas morning will not be pretty!! The things she's getting are a Barbie Babysitters Inc. set, an OMG Doll (totally copying her sister, but whatever), and a little battery powered surprise pet of some sort. </p> <p>Anyone have interesting and unique gift ideas for the preK/K set? </p> <p>Thanks! </p>
