Gift for 6 year old tomboy?

DS was invited to his neighbour friends bday party. She is turning 6 and is very much a tomboy. She's outside constantly riding her bike and scooter and basically all of her friends are boys. DS just started playing with her sporadically over the summer so I don't know much else about her. All ideas I come up with don't feel quite right for her. Any ideas??

    Riding bikes and scooters makes her a tom boy? I gotta say your post really rubs me the wrong way. buy her what every six year old kid likes, a fun game or puzzle are my go to ideas.

    Nope, it doesn't. I mentioned that because it's the only thing for sure that I know she likes and that she does a lot of. The "tomboy" classification is based on her telling me she doesn't like "girly things" - her words, not mine. She doesn't play with dolls or like any kind of pink / princess themed stuff.


    Sorry it rubs you the wrong way though. I'm just looking for some unique toys or games that she may not already have (she has 2 older brothers).

    Books, craft kits, science kits, games, playmobil sets, legos.

    My DD has never been into pink or princesses, but she's not a tomboy either.  Her favorite toys were ones that would be appealing to both girls and boys. 

    At around age 6, we got her a playmobil set that was a big pirate treasure chest.  This has been one of our house's most played-with toys.  Playmobils are great for 6 year olds!  They have a lot of sets that aren't aimed at a particular gender.
