English present for a non-English child?
I would like to gift a Disney-themed item to a Dutch child (Turning 3 in May). However, I'm buying this present in the USA, so everything will be in English.
Should I stay away from English-speaking plushies or English books, or will it be fine to gift something like this?
I remember having a talking Pooh when I was little and I loved it, so I would love to give something similar.

If possible, it would be nice to ask the parents. They may want to delay the introduction to English until formal schooling in order to encourage better usage and avoid undermining primary language acquisition.
If it's not possible to check with them first, it would not be too presumptuous to buy the gift. It's objectively unlikely to have any strong impact on language with few phrases repeated infrequently and I don't think anyone would be reasonably upset with you.
