Misc Play room project

Wow!! You guys are awesome thanks for all the love, this was done indoors on top of a couch. I used one alien bee with a small shoot through umbrella, could easily be done with a small flash. I used a small piece of fake grass I had lying about. The animal shot was a bit difficult because I was getting some bad reflections from the cymbals but I just played with the angles till it wasn't a problem.

Really cute gift for your daughter, & sure to be treasured.
My mom did tabletop photography... glassware mostly, but also little figurines. Maybe you have some stuff around the house that could be set up for some still life photos? Macros showing little bits of larger objects?
Although I'm a bit old for "playing with dolls" I bought a cute little one that is great fun to photograph in different situations around the house. Maybe, depending on your daughter's age, you could recruit her to help you make some story-photos of some of her dolls or toys -- a fun dad/daughter project, & if this is what you get with a few things atop a couch, you might come up with some really arty things with a project like that.
