I made 4-6 costume dresses for our oldest GD and put them in a pretty storage box for her birthday. I added plastic bead necklaces and plastic high heels. She played with them a lot, some days put them in a plastic bag and hauled them along to the babysitter to play dress up with other girls. Babysitter called me to say they were a big hit at her house. Best part was: I invested only in a few trimmings because the dresses were made from old bridesmaid dresses.
