   Any ideas? Going to coffee group b'day party next weekend and we're doing a 'secret santa' for presents. 
 
 I am not even sure yet what to get Jackson, so now I am double stuck!!!
 
 What are 2 yo girls into?

   Nat    baby/doll stuff and her little bags etc that she can carry things around in. But also loves more 'generic' things like playdough and trains and little people, and dress up. Books too go down very well :) Loves her litle teaset too, and bubbles are great. Guess it comes down to what kind of budget you've set!

   No worries - we are rather playdough'd out atm..... it's all she wants to do - which admittedly is nice because she actually sits down and stops moving for a while    The Warehouse has some good little sets.

   I have found you can't go wrong with the little tubes of Little people either!  All little girls love them!

   The Warehouse has some awesome little play irons and cake mixers and stuff, for a really decent price.  From memory they're $1O each or at the most $15.

   My DD got a massive packet of 100 hair ties..  My neighbour confessed that it came from the $2 shop..  hehehehe..
 It's great because the few hairties we had always went missing - now with 100 hair ties - we're covered for years to come..  Great inexpensive idea that would be appreciated by any mum to a girl..
 You could always team it up with book or a cheap DVD...  
 Have fun...x

   Or I bought a big plastic clearfile, decorated it and labelled it "Charlie's Art" - now he has somewhere to kep all his 'drawings'. Nice and cheap and unique.
