Christmas Gift Guide for Kids, Girls Edition 2013

I’m so excited for this post, it’s my Gift Guide for Girls. I’m a girly girl, I just adore princesses and sparkles and pink. I’m aware that for some little girls that just isn’t their thing. I do have a few items that aren’t princessy, and if you need more options for little kids then check out my Gift Guide for Boys. I don’t have a little girl, but I do have the most precious nieces N. N. and A. so I just focused on what I know they would like.

Gift Guide For Girls

♥As I’ve mentioned many times before, Pajama’s are a traditional Christmas Eve gift in my family, and these Minnie Mouse ones are just too cute!

♥Movies are always a good gift. I picked The Little Mermaid because it was just released from the Disney Vault in October, and I know that I would like to have it myself. Plus Mermaids, Adventure and Magic are always a big hit for kids.

♥This pretty pink tea set is a perfect gift for a little girl. Even if she’s aged out of having Tea Parties (although Taylor Swift still has them, so I say we all can) they’d make a lovely decoration.

♥For your more girly girl I suggest anything Barbie, like this Barbie and Unicorn set, but if she’s a bit less princessy then Monster High has you covered there. I’m kinda fond of Frankie.

♥I’m a big fan of encouraging imagination and this Illustory kit is perfect. They get to illustrate and write their own books.

♥Speaking of books, I’m sure that you all know that I think Ramona Quimby is the absolute perfect role model for little girls. My husband bought me this set for Christmas a few years ago. Ramona gets into all sorts of adventure and all sorts of trouble. Another book series I adore that has a perfect role model is Madeline. Both would be perfect for the most princessy little girl, and even better for the little girl you know that always seems to be in trouble.

♥Board Games are a classic gift, and this Doc McStuffins game is a perfect update to the classic game Operation. I also think Doc McStuffins is a great role model for little kids, girls especially.

♥You all know that Emi-Jay Hair Ties are my all time favorite. This Christmas Oval Tin is absolutely perfect and I kinda really want it for myself.

♥For a video game I chose Just Dance Disney edition, which I’ll admit I kinda really want for myself. I’ve been meaning to buy one of the Just Dance games to add into my exercise routine (any exercise is better than none).

♥Last of all I picked this adorable outfit from Gymboree. I love the little boots and the Red Jacket and how adorable is that Reindeer top? It’s just all so precious.

I’m so in love with all of these things, but I will say that The Little Mermaid and the Emi-Jay Hair Ties are on my own wishlist. Which you’ll see for your own eyes very soon when I do my wishlist post.  Is there anything you think I’ve missed? What are you getting the little girls in your life?

Gift Guide for Children

Children are probably the most fun to shop for at Christmas time. I love buying toys, and I see so many that make me wish I were still a child. Still it can be hard to shop for little kids sometimes. I had hoped to get this up by Black Friday, but life happens and sometimes you get busy. At least I’ve gotten it up in time for Cyber Monday. There are links provided, but obviously you can find the items at other places like Toys R’ Us and Amazon. Or Target or where ever toys are sold.

First of all, it is not a good idea to buy a small child a toy just because it makes noise. I know it’s fun, but really all the parent ends up doing is taking out the batteries when the child isn’t paying attention. Toys that have small pieces usually just get vacuumed up, sometimes on accident, sometimes on purpose. Also you should make sure the gift is age appropriate. There’s a reason there is an age range printed on the box. it’s for safety reasons.

For young children Lego Duplo blocks are a great gift. Even if they end up with multiple sets it’s still great because then they just have more to build with. They have sets that are aimed at girls and ones that are aimed at boys. Perfect for ages 2-5.

For slightly older children about ages 3-7 it’s a bit harder, this is when they really start getting into different things. But you can usually be save with something Disney Princess related for girls and superhero for the boys. All though there’s always some cross over, where the girl would be more happy with the spiderman, and the boy totally has a thing for Belle. If you know that it makes it much easier to shop. And of course once again Legos are still a good option, but if they’re a little older say closer to 7 than 3 it really opens you up to a lot more of the awesome playsets they have.

From ages 7-10 you should probably try and ask the child what their interested in, at this age generalized gifts are a bit harder, but you can usually get away with the latest movie, or toy craze.

Children are very easy to shop for, most of the time you can buy nearly anything aimed at their age range, and if the child is picky than I’m certain their parent or the child themselves will have some ideas for you.
