Yep, gift cards are great!! (Toys R Us GC is what my sister gives them for bdays & holidays!) My dd's love games- Monopoly Jr., Guess Who?, Mouse Trap, Operation, Trouble, etc. My 5 & 3yo's love Polly Pockets, My Little Ponies, Strawberry shortcake dolls, dress up clothes & shoes, and lipgloss and nailpolish, etc. My 7yo is more into computer games, Gameboy, horses, and sports stuff. I guess it would help to know if she were more of a *girly* girl or tomboy. HTH some!
