Thanks ladies, lots of great suggestions.

I love the scrapbooking idea miss, and my SIL would appreciate something creative rather than make up or jewelry. I will look at the Littlest Pet Shop for miss 5 a girls diary would be nice.
Looks like a trip to Kmart and the Warehouse is called for.]]> Sat, 05 May 2007 11:25:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7250&PID=140596&title=birthday-gifts-barbie-or-bratz#140596 <![CDATA[Birthday Gifts Barbie or Bratz? : Ok, did talk to a couple of 10...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7250&PID=140412&title=birthday-gifts-barbie-or-bratz#140412 Author: miss

Ok, did talk to a couple of 10 year solds - they are into scrapbooking, so they would like some cool scrapbooking stuff. Would check with the mum about that, but if they are into it, it is a cool gift - you can get decent packs for kids anywhere including the Warehouse. Will check in with more next week.]]> Fri, 04 May 2007 20:16:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7250&PID=140412&title=birthday-gifts-barbie-or-bratz#140412 <![CDATA[Birthday Gifts Barbie or Bratz? : eomachine wrote:If I was 10...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7250&PID=140408&title=birthday-gifts-barbie-or-bratz#140408 Author: Kels

Yes my girls LOVE those shops and they are really affordable

Not a fan of Bratz either.

We are Bratz fans in this house; Nyah (4) plays with them more than her Barbie. She's also got Trollz which she likes.

10year old option is jewellery and/or books or a Westfield voucher or even Glassons/Supre.... My son loves getting vouchers, would prefer them over actual presents.

Can you pop an email to their mum? Some girls are into barbies, some are into baby dolls..... I was also going to mention handbags but Janine bet me to it . What about a bead threading set to make jewellery?]]> Fri, 04 May 2007 14:22:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7250&PID=140245&title=birthday-gifts-barbie-or-bratz#140245 <![CDATA[Birthday Gifts Barbie or Bratz? : For a tenth birthday CD&#039;s...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7250&PID=140226&title=birthday-gifts-barbie-or-bratz#140226 Author: Kels

For a tenth birthday CD's are always good or clothes. Girls are so into fasion these days. My 11yr old has only wanted these the past few years now. Accessories like handbags sunnies are great too. For a 5yr old girl, they also love the accessory type stuff as well as little girly diaries and fancy pens to write in them, handbags etc...

i cant stand bratz either! who in there right mind developed that concept to give to little girls???? i sometimes think that toy companies are so out of touch with what parents want for their kids. i dont care how much the girls would nag me, if i didnt want them to have something then i wouldnt buy it for them.

we much prefer barbie in this house, as barbie is a "princess" and seeing as miss x wants to be one of those when she grows up......

for the older girl i think the idea of pretty things is a good one. or maybe some funky bath products - bubble bath, lotion etc. you can get some cool things at pharmacys now, that arent just aimed at little girls.

for the younger girl i would think barbie, or my little pony would be good. or what about the happy feet dvd? its really kewl ]]> Fri, 04 May 2007 13:54:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7250&PID=140222&title=birthday-gifts-barbie-or-bratz#140222 <![CDATA[Birthday Gifts Barbie or Bratz? : I would look at something other...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7250&PID=140199&title=birthday-gifts-barbie-or-bratz#140199 Author: miss

I would look at something other than dolls for the 10 year old. Sorry, my brain isn't working for other suggestions, but will try and ask some kids at school next week for ideas for you.

How about something like littlest pet shop or my little pony sets.

I can't stand Bratz either....far too skanky for my tastes as Peanut says many parents are anti them. If you were after something like that Barbie would be a better option. ]]> Fri, 04 May 2007 12:04:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7250&PID=140167&title=birthday-gifts-barbie-or-bratz#140167 <![CDATA[Birthday Gifts Barbie or Bratz? : mm i find them a bit too skanky,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7250&PID=140138&title=birthday-gifts-barbie-or-bratz#140138 Author: mum2paris

Just watch out with Bratz as some parents are anti them...I don't blame them, I can't stand Bratz myself!
Maybe Barbie would be a better bet as pretty classic toy and is minus the skank facto rof Bratz.]]> Fri, 04 May 2007 10:37:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7250&PID=140132&title=birthday-gifts-barbie-or-bratz#140132 <![CDATA[Birthday Gifts Barbie or Bratz? : ha ha, in that case maybe some...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7250&PID=140121&title=birthday-gifts-barbie-or-bratz#140121 Author: mum2paris

I wasn't sure if Bratz was still popular. I will have to check out the littlest petshop and my little pony. Scary i used to like my little pony, i'm sure that stuff is targetted at mums as well as daughters.

i have no idea about the older girl, but my 3 and 4 year old girls love both bratz and barbie and the littlest pet shops.

hhhm i know what my girls like and i think its pretty standard right thru at the mo.   5 yr olds.. something like barbie, bratz, polly pocket.. littlest pet shop has new teeny tiny playsets out at the mo (dammit, $16 at the warehouse righ tnow and palmy has sold out in 1 day gggrrr, paris has only been on at me for months about them)   my little pony has little playsets that have just come out too. but yeah, bratz is pretty styly.. very skanky though lol

for the 10 yr old, i'd say bratz, or something different - they kinda get out of the playing for ages with barbies at that age.. how bout those Bindeez? Kmart and spotlight have them, they are pretty styly and gives her something to do too.
Maybe some nail polish, her own bubble bath and some bigger girly stuff.. although depends on how responsible she is.. one of my 10 yr old neices is fine with that stuff, the other one her mum usually finds it hidden in her school bag or spilt on the duvet cover.. ]]> Fri, 04 May 2007 09:53:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7250&PID=140110&title=birthday-gifts-barbie-or-bratz#140110 <![CDATA[Birthday Gifts Barbie or Bratz? : I am the Auntie to Paige (10)...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7250&PID=140107&title=birthday-gifts-barbie-or-bratz#140107 Author: caliandjack
