Looking for a bday gift for dd-almost 6. Problem (not really B"H) is she has a Savta who buys her and her siblings A LOT of toys! So she has special toys and dolls already. She gets terribly overwhelmed with decisions, so I don't want her to choose- I don't think there's anything she's really looking for atm. Any suggestions? Anything especially special for a 6yo girl?

She has one of those imitation American Girl dolls that she doesn't really touch- wants her to stay new. But we once read a book where a kid dressed up her doll, and that was somewhat tempting for her. I was thinking maybe some clothes or accessories for that doll. I'm in Israel- does anyone have links to that kind of thing here? Does anyone have a little girl who likes that kind of thing? Does it keep her occupied for a good amount of time? Or just changes her once and that's it for the day?

She also likes fiddling with the drawing program on my computer and playing with a computer-ish baby toy we have, so I was thinking maybe a kiddie computerish or drawing thing would be nice for her. Would have to be very simple and no internet or real computer connection necessary, as we're in a very chareidi area and don't really allow any real technology use for the kids. Any ideas? Links in Israel?

Does she have an easel? They make double sided ones that are a lot of fun - whiteboard/chalkboard plus space to store art materials..

Hmm that's a really nice idea, thank you! We have a small whiteboard that she enjoys, and an easel might make it even more appealing.

In case you or anyone else has an idea- the one issue with an easel is the space it takes up, even if foldable. Like I said, we have A LOT of toys (in a small Israeli apartment). Is there anything like this that is less bulky? Or is the bulkiness part of the excitement?
