4. Make her a sticker book or album plus some stickers to start her collection


To make the stickers you will just need a printer and some blank printable a4 sticker sheets, that people use for making labels. Then put together some pages of cute designs from the web - we like to compile a word document full of cute free to use illustrations - or even DIY them some custom one of a kind stickers by designing your own! Then simply print them by loading the blank a4 sticker printer paper in to the printer, and set to print as normal! 

You could even make her a blank sticker book for her new sticker collection, by gathering some special wax coated pages and sewing the pages down the middle, to create the binding. Design a pretty cover and voila!





5. DIY her a Barbie themed gift box 


The cutest way to gift something inexpensive, like candy or snacks, but make them look adorable and turn them into a whole gift on their own! This is a great low cost gift option that looks so exciting to receive!

6. DIY her some Barbie themed chocolate covered Oreos 


To make these, you could melt some batches of white cooking chocolate and mix in a tiny amount of food colouring to each, before encasing them in chocolate in a special tray - layer some chocolate in each of the moulds before gently pressing an Oreo in to each, then carefully cover it with a little more chocolate until the Oreo is completely submerged, then smooth over the top and pop in the fridge to set, once each mould is filled. 

You could alternate colours for a colourful selection or even create a cool ombre effect! Another method is to dip half your Oreo cookie in to the chocolate, then let it set and then do the same with the other half. Repeat with your desired number of oreos before whipping up another bowl of melted chocolate in a different colour and doing the same using that batch. Pop them in the fridge to set, then decorate however you like! Then allow them to set again, before placing in a cute gift box or cupcake style box. 






7. Bake a bunch of Barbie flower or butterfly cookie pops

Bake the sticks in to the cookies in the oven, then ice and decorate them and arrange them in a beautiful formation, tied with a ribbon! You could try plain sugar cookies or opt for chocolate flavour - or try a mixture of both! 










8. Make some Barbie themed chocolate covered marshmallows or pops



 Why not DIY some chocolate covered marshmallows, by dipping jumbo marshmallows into melted chocolate and adding cute decorations on top. You could decorate them with different designs and dip in different types of chocolate and colour white chocolate with a few drops of food colouring. You could even ice them afterwards to make them look like different Barbie characters - or to make them pink, pretty and sparkly! You can even order some ready made here if short on time - they are adorable! 



9. Put together a playdough kit for her


This is such a fun sensory gift idea for young kids that is also low cost and easy to DIY! To make some playdough, you only need a few ingredients from your cupboard or pantry! We love this playdough tutorial here. You could even order one ready made, complete with adorable accessories, if short on time! 














10. DIY her a special Barbie themed journal


Or a beautiful diary, notebook or scrapbook! To do this, you will need some paper, scissors, glue and a needle and thread. Make the blank notebooks by folding the paper in half and stitching them together, down the middle, to create the binding. To create a beautiful cover, head to a DIY store or similar and see if they offer free wallpaper samples or fabric samples. This is an adorable no cost gift idea that she can treasure! 




12. Make her a Barbie themed cookie decorating set


Gift her a set of plain un decorated sugar cookies and make some bags of colourful icing or frosting to go with it! You could add some edible glitter to each icing bag to make it extra pretty and magical or include a little sachet of edible glitter or edible sprinkles they can use in their decorating. Cookie decorating kits make adorable gifts and are easy to DIY and are low cost to make too. You could even bake her a huge crown or tiara shaped cookie that she can decorate however she likes!

14. DIY some chocolate lego 'Barbie dreamhouse bricks'


To play with and eat! This is also a cute gift idea you can DIY and make the edible lego brick whatever colours you want - we recommend trying pink and purple bricks. To do this, melt some white chocolate in different batches (or white cooking chocolate, that is easy to melt) and stir in a little food colouring to each one - and even add a little flavouring - before pouring it in the lego brick shaped mold and leaving in the fridge to set. Once they are set, pop them in a celophane gifting bag and tie with a big pink ribbon!

18. Make her a set of dancing Barbie princess marshmallows


The most gorgeous Barbie princess inspired gift! DIY some special zephyr marshmallows, which appear in shape like meringues - one of our favourite recipes is here. Each zephyr marshmallow will be used to resemble a swirly princess skirt - you could even make them in different pretty pastel hues! Once made and ready to gift, create some Barbie princess body toppers using some cardstock, mini skewers and some printed Barbie motifs - or even use sugar cookies. For non edible paper toppers, crop each motif character at the bodice, just above where the skirt begins, then back them on to some card or cardstock and fix them to the skewers. Then insert each topper into its own marshmallow, so that the zephyr resembles the skirt flowing from the character! 




19. Make her some Barbie themed popcorn parcels 


There's nothing sweeter than pink popcorn! Make this by using a few drops of food colouring along with corn syrup and butter (follow this recipe here!) You could make multiple sets in different ombre shades of pink. Add some edible glitter and even mini marshmallows to make it extra magical!

23. Make her a Barbie themed slime play kit


This is such a fun sensory gift idea for young kids that is also low cost and easy to DIY! 

To make slime, you will need 100ml PVA white glue (children’s craft glue or CE marked glue), ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda gel food colouring,1 tsp contact lens cleaning solution and some glitter/beads/decorations. A small blob of shaving foam is optional but makes for extra fluffy slime! 

1. Squeeze the glue into a mixing bowl (look for a bottle in a 100ml size if possible so you won’t have to measure it out). Add the bicarbonate of soda and mix well.

2. Add a drop or two of your chosen gel food colouring. Less colouring gives a pastel colour; the more you add, the brighter the colour. Mix until well incorporated.

3. Add the contact lens solution and mix. The slime will begin to form, going stringy before coming away clean from the bowl into a ball.

4. Once it has formed, take it out and knead it with your hands. It will be sticky at first but after about 30 seconds you’ll have a smooth and pliable ball. Add glitter at this point, if desired, and work in with your hands. Store in a pot with a lid.

Tip! For gloopier slime, try adding less than 1 tsp contact lens solution, mixing it in drop by drop until it just goes stringy and begins to come away from the bowl. Then knead. 














24. Make her a Barbie themed snack bouquet gift


Why not put together a selection of adorable sweets or snacks, arranged in bouquet formation! You could even arrange them in a letter or number shaped gift box, for a standout display and gorgeous looking gift! 





25. Craft her a Barbie themed mug cake selection 


This is such a fun and cute low cost - or no cost - gift idea that she will love! Mug cakes are the perfect easy comforting dessert and she will love being able to make her own on a whim. Create some pink mug cake mixes (minus the milk or wet ingredient) in different flavours and varieties - you could try one with white chocolate chips or a chocolate mix with pink mini marshmallow hearts - and place each one in its own airtight container or zip lock sachet. 

Your recipient will only need to add the wet ingredient to each mixture and pop it in the microwave to create their mug cake! You could even include an adorable mug as part of the gift. You can even order ready made mixes all ready for your recipient if short on time! 







26. Make her some special Barbie chocolate bars 👈🏻 


These are super low cost and easy to make, perfect for your recipient! Just print and fasten around your chocolate bar or candy bar to give it a special Barbie inspired makeover. 




27. Bake and ice a custom Barbie portrait sugar cookie of her face


Make some sugar cookies that look exactly like your little one - life size! You could ice them some iconic Barbie sunglasses to wear. This is so much fun and makes for such a unique gift - she could even pose for a photo with her sugar cookie replica!




28. Craft a mosaic effect Barbie themed room sign for their door


A special DIY gift idea that your little one will love! You can have a lot of fun with this and can get super creative with it, it's a special, cute and thoughtful DIY gift idea for girls that is low cost too! 



29. Make her some amazing Barbie themed candy bark


Make some super pretty candy bark/chocolate slab and add some edible glitter! This is super easy to make and requires no baking and all you will need is some cooking chocolate or melting chocolate (milk chocolate or white chocolate is fine) and some sweets or candy pieces. 

You could even change the colour of your candy bark and make it pink or purple by melting down some white cooking chocolate and stirring in a few very small drops of food colouring. All you need to then is pour in to a mold and decorate with all the cutest sweets and candy of choice, with a sprinkle of edible shimmer or glitter! 



Then pop in the fridge to set and break in to pieces when cool, to arrange in a pretty bag and tie with a ribbon! There's so many ways to get creative with this and you could add a sprinkle of freeze dried raspberries or incorporate a swirl of melted milk chocolate to create a pretty pattern. Sprinkle in some jelly sweets and add some popping candy, a must have ingredient, to finish, before setting it to cool!
