What to give a 5-year-old
At five, children love toys, picture books, building sets and craft kits most. Balloons or a soft toy make a lovely addition. For a little princess you can order her first small bouquet — a bright summer mix — and flowers for the birthday child’s mum as a thank-you for the party.
