I'm pretty stoked because my neighbor just rang my doorbell offering me her granddaughter's doll house that hasn't been played with in over a year. The granddaughter actually suggested giving it to my 3 yr old! How sweet! 
My daughter is going to LOVE it!
I should get the granddaughter / grandma something to say thank you. Any thoughts? The granddaughter just turned 8.

That is so so nice of your neighbor! We don't have a dollhouse yet but we definitely will, my dad has already promised to buy her one: it has been a long-standing joke in my family that my childhood was ruined because I never had a dollhouse, lol.

my grandfather built me a doll house - very victorian with all the gingerbread trims.... It's been in my Aunts attic for a number of years and she called me a couple weeks ago to come pick it up because she wants to list her house and is cleaning it out. It will probably need a good cleaning and restoring and who knows whats left of the furnishings but It will live in our basement until LO is a little older maybe closer to 4-5 yrs old

What about a target or Toys R Us GC? When my mom's boss gave us her sons Ikea Kitchen (and all the accessories) I gifted him a lego set since that was what he was into now

Very sweet of them! I know your LO likes to cook and bake. Maybe you can make them a special treat in addition to a small gift card?
We bought LO a Hape dollhouse for his birthday this year. I wish I had toys like that when I was a kid.

Maybe a gift card to a kids clothing store. Kids that age like that and parents aren't always willing to buy them what they want. We gave LO a dollhouse at two. It is really tall so it is neat to see her grow and gain access to the different floors.

She will! My grandpa made me a dollhouse for Christmas when I was 6. It is in really rough shape and still at my parents house, but my dad said when LO is older he will fix it up for her. So happy to have something made by my grandpa and dad for her!

I have one that was mine as a child, alas I have boys. But my oldest just discovered my dollhouse and loves it.
