We have duplo blocks and she hasn't shown much interest in them. 

On the other hand, maybe I'll buy her this to spite the feminazis who were complaining about it a few months ago:

I had a Furby once.  Hollowed it out and turned it into a covert enclosure with a 3.7mm camera with sound.

Because the box is pink and the "Lego for Girls" playset themes reinforce patriarchal notions of what little girls like.  And it somehow sexualizes little girls

Yeah, plus a bunch of Chinese knock-offs.  IIRC the standard Lincoln Logs are now plastic   You gotta spring for a premium set to, erm, get wood.
