Sorry to bother you, it's just that, well... Alice's birthday party is tomorrow and I still haven't gotten anything for her yet... I was trying to think of something she might like but... you know her a lot better than I do so I was hoping you could give me some ideas...?
Not like you to leave shit until the last second, nerd, but this is pretty easy - she's a little kid, a little *girl*, use your imagination.
Dolls and toys, obviously, are going to be a big hit. Maybe a stuffed cat - those are her favorite animals, I'm pretty sure. Candy of course is any kid's wet dream to get on any given occasion, and tea is a big one too, since she's from the West. England, if I remember right, so that shit's running through their blood as much as it is ours. Avoid tea sets, I'm sure she got a few for Christmas already, but tea leaves and bags will work, and maybe a cute tea infuser. She would LOVE that crap.
New clothes, dresses especially. I was planning to get her a sundress and some sandals, or just springtime shoes in general. Maybe a sunhat.
Lastly, a book of riddles, since she's smart as hell for her age. She likes chess, is DAMN good at it, but I've already given her a fancy set so don't bother with that. Oh, and maybe some gardening tools and starter seed bags, she said she's been wanting to get into gardening for a while, but her mom back home wouldn't let her get dirty.
Sorry! I'm getting a little desperate now... And I want to get her something she'd for sure like, not just something you could give to any kid and they'd be happy with it... Something special just for her!
Oh! I think I'll go with some gardening things... I was talking to Willow about things to grow a little while ago so that's fresh in my mind still!
Don't overthink it, Alice will like anything you give her so long as it's not bugs or something. She's a good kid.
[But he actually does appreciate that Izuku is really putting his all into making his gift for Alice particularly special. She deserves to be a little bit spoiled, especially on her birthday.]
