Clueless...

I doubt anyone here will have a clue, but I’ll ask anyway:

What do discerning little girls like for presents on their third birthday in this day and age?

This is not the sort of thing that a bachelor knows automatically.

Edited to add: With one honourable exception, you're a rotten lot. You know that, don't you?

Depending on how much you want to spend.

Firstly - check with their mum - she will have far more of an idea which kiddie-craze they're into.

Good bets are

Bratz: a range of teenage dolls with far too big heads and feet that come off.

Tweenies: TV tie in

Probably just getting out of the Tellietubbie range, but it's possible. If thats the case, there are Tellietubbie and Tweenie DVDs available.

I got my niece a wooden stool from Oxfam with letters and numbers carved into the top of it when she was that age(1 - 10 and A-Z before you're wondering) - she loved it and my sister was very approving.

Other successful presents have been brightly coloured hooded tops from Camden (there's a great kiddies clothes shop there, which has Che Guevara and Sid Vicious tee-shirts for the under-5s.)

You're a star.

Oh, stay away from the Bratz, please! You don't need to teach kids that young to dress scantily and act like brats, as the name implies.

Now see, I'd never heard of bratz. They do sound odd.
