Need suggestions (What's on your 3.5/ 4 y.o. DD's Xmas List?)

I need to tell MIL something or we are sure to get junk. She is open to some guidance, and I found out yesterday that she not started shopping yet. (:cheerleader1:) I'm looking for something under $50. M&FIL have 5 gkids to buy for and are on a fixed income.

We have too many dolls, stuffed animals, Schelleg (sp? too lazy to go look) animal figurines, little people. She barely plays with the Legos she does have. She loves marbles, but she loses them so easily that I hate to give that as an option, but she really loves marbles. Are they any kids games or toys that involve marbles (or magnets)? She likes magnets too. She is also very into ballet, but she has leotards and is getting a tutu from us (via some love from a friend). ETA: I already asked SIL to give DD new ballet slippers from Target.

TIA for any help.

Do you have Hungry Hungry Hippos? It has marbles and my younger DD *loves* that game. Hi Ho Cherry-o has small, marble-sized apples.

What about things to extend/organize the toys she already has?

Target has lots of doll accessories: beds, strollers, wardrobe for clothes

My just turned 4 year old is getting:

AG matching girl/doll nightgown set
doll tea set
LLBean animal slippers
Ikea doll bed and blanket
Tinkerbell dress
a rolling suitcase
doll clothing storage wardrobe
Tiana doll
Ravensburger puzzle
Trouble
M&D folding castle (this is her big Sanata present)

Got my DD a first act discovery guitar. I think it was $29.99.

Oooo, Doll Bed! I hadn't thought of that. And the price is just right ;) Thank You! She already has a stroller, but she does like to play with her dolls. The animal slippers would be good too, from us maybe.
