Hey everyone! As some of you may know, I am a mummy to a 6 year old girl and every year on her birthday I do lots of research on what presents to get for her. So I am going to save you guys the hassle and provide you with the best birthday gift ideas for a 6 year old in no particular order. I have kept my list short and sweet so its easy for you to decide what to get because I have been in that situation plenty of times where there is so much choice available, that its easy to get confused.
Best Activity Gift Idea: Heelys
These shoes with wheels are all the hype with kids of all ages. My daughter has wanted them since she was 5 but because she was too young for them, I had to hold her off until this year! They are available in different sizes and colours. Some come with two wheels and some with one. If you are a beginner, two wheels provide more stability instead of one. They are available from various places but I found them cheapest on Amazon here

Best Pretend Play Gift Idea : Karaoke Machine
A karaoke machine is such a fun gift. If your kids enjoy pretend play, singing, acting like a rockstar then this one is for them. It was a hit with kids all ages and even adults. This one comes with one microphone but we bought another one too. It has Bluetooth so you can connect it to your phones and play the songs. Its wired and battery operated but we plug it in to save us buying a gazillion batteries. Just gear up for lots of noise in your house, but as long as the kids are happy and busy the noise is bearable. This set is £49.98, comes in two colours and its available from Amazon here

Best Creative Gift Idea : Slime kit
The parents hate it but kids love it and any chance to get their hands on the gooey slime is always a hit. My Daughter was so obsessed with slime and all the slime youtube videos that she had a slime birthday party which was amazing fun for all the kids.There are various kits available very easily and in different price ranges too. It keeps the kids busy for ages and one of these kits is a fab idea for play dates too.
Best Educational Gift Idea : Personalised Book
A personalised book is educational and something that will last for ages. I personally love educational gifts. There are various options available for personalised books if you do a quick search online. I recently came across Snap Dragon books and guys this book is absolutely amazing. Its a little bit on the pricey side but its totally worth it. When you first place your order, you can send a picture and some details but it does not end there. After I placed my order, I received an email from them asking for other little details about my daughter, so things like her favourite food, hobbies, names of her friends, favourite sport of her or her parents, where she lives etc.When I gave all these details, I was very unsure about how the book would turn out. However when the book arrived, it was spectacular!
The story is so interesting and the way they used all the details to personalise it, is just magical. Trust me on this, you will not regret this purchase at all. Its money well spent! The book is catchy, easy to read, beautifully illustrated and has the most beautiful personalised touch to it. Its genuinely the best book I have ever purchased. Its available here and it retails for £39 plus free delivery in the UK.
