It's my daughters 4th birthday soon and I'm not sure what to do for a present. She has everything she needs/wants. There really isn't anything I can think to get her. It was just Christmas and she got a massive outdoor playgym/set the wooden ones. She doesn't need anything inside.
I'm wondering do I
A) get some more crap to cluder my house that she really doesn't need
B) buy a something for a theme park/zoo etc either a few different one day passes or one year pass
C) get practical things (tho she really doesn't even need anything practical)
D) a little short camping holiday as we have kindy and work but could probably do a night or two.
I come from a big family so there always so many presents and they all ask what she needs/wants etc so she doesn't really need anything.
Stuck on what to do. I do have a few little things in the cupboard mini skateboard, outside throw game, etc that could be wrapped and given to her.
I thought maybe the ticket somewhere because that would be an awesome memory but I wouldn't be able to take her on her birthday unless I took time off work we'd have to go in a weekend.

Wrap the things you have and do an outing on a day near to her birthday.
I had the same problem with my son being spoilt and not needing toys. 4 is a great age when they start to realise what a birthday is and expect presents.
We did a few small presents wrapped for the day and made a chart of days that he got and could put on fridge and cross off each day until we went to the aquarium cause he loves anything marine.
He was so excited having the chart and being able to cross off a number each day until we went ( 7 days )
I think at this age and having enough toys then a day out is a gret idea, maybe a chart will help her count down to it
Same problem for me. My daughter had her 5th birthday yesterday and didn't need anything. So hard to find something to give her! I got her some new undies (character ones I normally wouldn't buy), a little pack of cute necklaces and rings from Lovisa (tiny, so won't clutter the house), a new hairbrush (which she needed anyway) and a little hand mirror that I thought she'd like. She loved it all. It wasn't much, but she got other things from family, and she was given money from some grandparents and great grandparents. We'll put some of it in her bank account but she's very excited to be going shopping to spend some if it on things of her own choice too. Hope that's given you some good ideas!
