Shauna: Anything related to her stories! Bonus points if its a character from her favourite book/film, like a character doll or toy! Either that or a comforting item that she associates with 'babies'. She won't accept a dummy if she's given one after everyone goes shopping, but if its just something thats been thrown in with her presents and therefore 'not actually for Shauna' but something she mays as well keep it so she doesn't hurt the givers feelings. (Sneaky Van!)
Jackie: Something homemade! Her parents always got her flashy things, so she doesn't have much want for that, but she loves it when someone makes something for her - like the time Robin and Lottie made her a banner with hand-drawn ponies all over it!
Nat: Music! Little baby toys that make lots of fun sounds: fisher price/little tikes musical instruments and tape recorders are her favourites. She'll play and giggle to them for hours.
Misty: Craft kits! Kids sewing kits, rock paintings, step-by-step diamond art, you name it. Her rooms covered in cute things she's proudly made!
Mari: Big, even if its not fancy! Mari likes a celebration, especially if its about her so the more things that are just covered with blankets, since paper wont fit the better! One year Van made her a dollhouse out of an old broken dresser and Mari practically lost her mind!
Lottie: Honestly she's probably one of the hardest to buy for: buying her things for when she's little is kind of impersonal since its mostly warm blankets or bottles because she's normally so young, but everyone also panics since Lottie grew up rich and they assume she wants fancy things. I think Lottie mainly likes sentimental things though, and little Lottie just likes the company that her birthdays give her! (though she would NEVER say no to another tamagotchi for the graveyard - I mean functional community... not... - that lives in her bedside drawer...)
Tai: Pretty dress-ups! This little one loves to get prettied up and play pretend, so the more dress ups she has the better - bonus points if it has kids make-up sets with it. She's the best fairy-surgeon-vet-professor-princess you've ever seen.
Van: Collectables! Vans by far the easiest to by for since they like so many things and it doesn't have to be brand new. Their favourite thing is to collect lots of VHS tapes, and its the one thing they keep organised!
Akilah: A trip to petting zoos or something musical! The petting zoo is pretty self explanatory (she just loves animals but they're pretty limited with what they can get) but she also loves music with definite beat because it grounds her so much!
Laura Lee: Pretty things! She's such a little magpie. Things like twinkly lights that she can look at, or shiny, clinking bangles are loved very much!!
Mel: She'll say whatever the others want, but actually she LOVES ponies and horses, so toys like that! I've heard she's been aching for a hobby horse but is pretty nervous the others might make fun of her...
