Gift for 6 year old girl?

[pinkxray]

My daughter started kindergarten and is going to her first birthday party for one of her classmates. The little girl is turning 6. What can I get her? I don't know her at all so I have no idea what she likes.

what does your daughter like? wouldn't that be a good place to start?
I have boys so I am no help.

My DD is turing 6 on Sunday!!! Depending on what your budget is with a 6 year old girl you can be safe with: Barbies, My Little Ponies, Littlest Pet Shop, Craft type things (markers, crayons, jewelry maker set), Hannah Montana, Zhu Zhu Pets....

We usually spend $20 - $40 on gifts for others birthdays that my DD goes too... I usually find GREAT deals on clearence items and have always had the gifts very well recv'd by the Child and the parent...

Have fun...

Zhu Zhu pets, Pixos/chixos, or Aqua Sand are big gifts around here. They don't break the bank either. I have a six and eight year old, and they would also still be happy with Littlest Pet Shops.

My usual gift for a child I didn't know well was cool jammies/slippers, or a bathing suit/flip flops or towel. My dd7 (just turned) wanted me to tell grandma she wanted Littlest Petshop (my mom asked), but since my mom (nor I ) know what ones she has, I told her I wasn't going to suggest that.

At this point, we average about 6 parties a month, so I bought a stack of $20 Target gc's and little gift bags. However, for close friends, I buy actual gifts.

I can't really go by my daughter. She always seems to be interested in boy toys. Superheroes, transformers,etc.

Zhu zhu pets ($8-10), Barbies, Disney Fairies dolls (about $10), craft kits (beads, jewelry - can get great sets with a Michael's or A C Moore coupon), Webkinz (Target has Little Kinz for 4.99 and the full size for about $10), outside toys (depending where you are), Littlest Pet Shop
