I'm not expecting any uke-related gifts, but I've got my five-year-old niece her first ukulele, a Makala Dolphin. I would have gone for something slightly nicer, but she has apparently been fixated on getting a pink ukulele. At any rate, she's five, so it's a bit of a gamble anyway; she may lose interest in five minutes. I hope she doesn't. She has a knack for the piano, so you never know.
