    Little kits are nice for girls, sewing, art ect.... Try making some of those little cards girls use to practice sewing, cut shapes (like butterflies, flowers, rainbows, ect) out of plastic (Milk cartons, bleach or laundry soap bottles) punch holes in them with a good paper punch and give shoe laces with it sew with...
    Make an art kit... with back to school sales still going on in some places you can pick them up pretty cheap.... crayons, construction paper, colored pencils, ect... (unless you are exacting some revenge on her Mother, do not give, glitter, markers, play dough or paints, these are not good for a 3 year old) Print a personalized coloring book on your computer, use a story from the child's own experiences if you can... (when she got her puppy, when she first met her little brother, her 3rd Birthday for example) a gift basket filled with little girl Foo-Foo (bubble bath, bath crayons, ect) The Foo-Foo you could make yourself, if you need recipes ask here or PM me, I'll send you some... If this is a child you spend time with, interview her and ask questions like "how do you cook a Birthday cake" "where do dolls come from" What do chickens eat" ect... Put the questions and answers or her own unique recipes in a book.... She will no doubt get lots of toys and this would be a gift long remembered by her family and later by her...... Hope this helps..

    Thank you very much for all the great ideas. I think these might also work for Christmas presents ( I am also doing homemade presents for my children for Christmas-they have TOO MANY toys) Thanks again
