I'm looking for suggestions for gifts for my niece. She turns 4 in September, and we have a holiday in late August, so I need 2 separate gifts, about $30 each. (My brother and SIL don't like extravagant gifts, so I do try to respect their wishes). She is definitely a girly girl (loves dolls, dress-up and pretty clothes). I'm not, and I'm at a loss for ideas.
One thought I had was playsilks. Another was just checking clearance racks, and putting together a little collection of costume jewelry, hair clips, hats and little purses. I'm not sure what kind of dolls she's into - but I like the look of Madeline (?) - and I think there are books, too? So a doll and a couple of books. The books will be a sop on my book-loving conscience (and for my SIL's, too! :))
Is 4 too old or too young for the Robert Sabuda pop-up books? I bought The Wizard of Oz as a gift, and I wanted to keep it so badly! :) I was thinking about "Alice in Wonderland" - it is one of my favorite childhood books, and I actually had 3 different editions, including a pop-up, but it wasn't anywhere near as cool as the Sabuda version.
TIA
