Great gift ideas for a 4-year-old

It was Marlow’s 4th birthday last week and we had a fun-filled day celebrating the birthday girl. We woke early (jet-lagged!) and celebrated with bunting, balloons and pancakes, and we ended the day with a Mexican fiesta joined by friends here in Byron Bay.

She received a small selection of the most beautiful gifts, each one so treasured. With the holiday gift-giving season coming up, I thought I would share the gifts she received in case you’re looking for inspiration:

1. Ruby Red Shoes is a charming series of beautifully illustrated books by Australian author and artist, Kate Knapp. We discovered her books earlier this year when we were in Australia, and I knew her newest book, Ruby Red Shoes Goes to London, would appeal to Marlow who still insists London was her favourite place she travelled to this year. ; )
2. Have you seen the new collaboration between Polka Dot Club and Misha & Puff? It is every bit as perfect as you would expect. Marlow loves playing with the Mama bunny and her babies, which come with a little backpack for the mama to carry on her back. So sweet!
3. We bought Marlow this 54-piece Janod puzzle which she has now put together at least a hundred times (no joke). It is the perfect size and difficulty for her age group, and she loves the princess and chariot illustration (available in the UK here, and this circus version is cute too!)
4. A Sonny Angel because those are always a hit!
5. My friend Aimee from Little Winnie gave Marlow the new grey-striped organic cotton nightshirt from her collection and it’s so cute.
6. This Tiger Tribe Fabulous Felt dress-up set is like paper dolls but made of felt, so all the pieces stick to each other. Marlow is loving playing with all the cute outfits and dressing up the little dolls. (The only downside is the number of little felt pieces I’ve been picking up off the floor lately!) It wasn’t easy finding an online stockist for this, but I tracked it down here.
