32 Best Christmas Gifts for Girls

For artists, engineers, or anything in between, this is an extremely hands on and entertaining kit that is fun for the whole family. Any material that conducts even the slightest bit of electricity can work with this product. With this kit your child can literally turn a banana into a keyboard. It’s such a cool device that will keep your kids (and you!) entertained for hours. 

Your kids can craft, code, build their own sensors, make instruments, you name it! This kit was invented at MIT with the idea of fostering open-ended exploration and creative learning. This is a gift that your child can start using right away. Set up is super easy and quick. Plug, clip, and start inventing!

This kit is currently on sale on Amazon for only $50.00, which we’d say is a steal. It’s going to provide hours of fun for your child, while also teaching them creativity. 

For the young budding artist in the family, this Christmas gift is a homerun. The Crayola Inspiriation Art kit is guaranteed to be a hit with your child. The set comes with 64 crayons, 20 small colored pencils, 40 washable markers, and 15 large pieces of paper. 

The case snaps closed and has little handles making it easily portable. Your child can bring this Crayola pack on any family excursion or trip for whenever imagination strikes. This is the perfect gift for encouraging your child’s creativity this Christmas. 

For your daughter or granddaughter, you can pass on the tradition of the musical jewelry box this Christmas. This gift is thoughtful and sure to make your daughter smile (especially if she is a fan of unicorns). 

The box is selling on Amazon for only $23, and it’s made well and should last your daughter for a while. Every time the lid to the box opens, the cute unicorn spins and a lovely little tune plays.

The interior is lined with a violet velvet fabric to help keep everything safe and unscratched. Two additional drawers give your child some extra storage space for their extra special valuables! 

This is a Christmas gift that your child will want to start building right away. Let them play out all of their Disney princess dreams with this Disney Dream Castle! The set is 585 pieces, meaning it will keep your child entertained for a while. Once the set is built, your child can create their own world with the five included figurines. When fully built, the castle reaches just over 13 inches tall. It consists of a grand dining room, a bedroom, a dressing area, kitchen, fireplace and balcony, and so much more! 

Oh, and did we mention that these LEGO pieces are compatible with all LEGO construction sets – meaning more bang for your buck! The set is on sale for just under $60 on Amazon. 

The first Barbie was invented in 1959, and little girls (heck, some little boys too) love embarking on adventures with this popular doll. Barbie has more clothes, friends, and careers than any girl we’ve ever met, but after a hectic day of work and play, she needs her own home.

The Barbie Dreamhouse comes with more than 70 accessories to help Barbie feel comfortable in her 3-story, 7-room home. Your princess can watch fish swim in the aquarium or flip on the lights so Barbie can socialize with her BFFs. This sturdy Dreamhouse provides hours of fun for young Barbie fans.

You’ll pay $150 to $200 for this Barbie Dreamhouse, making it one of the most expensive presents on our list. It’s worth every penny, though.

We can ramble on about this car’s impressive features, but we think it’s pretty obvious why most girls love this electric vehicle. It’s pink, it moves quickly, and it sounds just like a real car. She can cruise around the block in style, and the built-in seatbelt keeps her safe when she hits a speed bump (or your neighbor’s mailbox).

For less than $200, your favorite female can be the proud owner of this awesome vehicle. Too bad you can’t buy a car this cheap when she turns 16.

Young girls enjoy photographing pets, toys, and family members. Tweens like posing for pics with groups of friends – or the boys they’ve been crushing on. The light pink exterior and compact design make this camera an excellent choice for young photographers, and kids who lack patience love how the photos pop out instantly.

For less than $60, a girl can capture magical moments and print colorful photos. Sounds like a good deal to us.

She probably doesn’t want to admit that she hates the white tee, sheet, or pillow case that you got her. This kit gives her the freedom to customize clothing and bedding to suit her style. There are 18 different colors, and she can use them alone or mix them to create one-of-a-kind hues.

You’ll shell out $25 to $30 for this kit. Several moms and dads say this tie-dye kit is a great value.

Tech-savvy tweens are constantly streaming music, videos, or verbal chat sessions on their digital devices. These water speakers illuminate your favorite tween’s bedroom with vibrant colors as she talks to friends or listens to music. Their sleek, modern design appeals to preteens, but younger kids like them too. Installation is a breeze, and there are no batteries to deal with.

Price varies from $30 to $70 for these water speakers. Would we pay $70 for these? Eh, probably not. Would we pay $30 to $50? Yes, definitely.

Tween girls are uber aware of their appearance. This nail kit lets a 12-year old girl experiment with different looks without using makeup, which is great if you’re shopping for a girl whose parents aren’t fans of their daughter wearing cosmetics.

This kit costs $10 to $20, which is way cheaper than a trip to the nail salon.

Like 10-year olds, 11-year old girls enjoy activities they can do with a group of friends. This fun party game distracts preteens from their smartphones and iPads, encouraging them to actually get to know each other.

At around $25, this is an affordable gift. Yeah, other kids’ games are cheaper…but do they make a group of girls giggle for hours?

As a 10-year old, she probably spends a lot of time with her peers. This bracelet kit lets her showcase her loyalty to multiple friends in a fun, fashionable way. It includes a trendy carrying case, so she can easily bring the kit to slumber parties or after-school gatherings.

Prices vary from $15 to $20 for this friendship bracelet kit. We’re okay with that.

Before smartphones and tablets hit elementary schools, we determined our fates with cootie catchers. They’re popular again, and Mom and Grandma will have a blast reliving the past as they unveil fun messages with the gift recipient. You may want to include a pack of colored pencils so your 9-year old girl doesn’t have to use markers that bleed through the paper or waxy crayons.

You can’t go wrong with a $10 gift. This is one of the most budget-friendly gifts on our list of presents for girls.

Now that she’s 8, she probably has the attention span required to complete quick, easy crafts. Sewing is an important skill that will benefit her later in life, and this cute kit makes it fun. We’re excited about the kit’s convenient handle and lid because it means a junior crafter can take her supplies on road trips or rides to Grandma’s house.

Craft supplies generally aren’t cheap, so we’re okay with the suggested $35 price tag. Plus, Amazon usually carries the kit for about half that price.

Delight a special girl’s imagination with this magical terrarium filled with delicate fairies and lush foliage. The seeds sprout quickly, so she won’t lose interest before they grow. A fun instruction guide explains the role each plant plays. Your fairy fan will get a kick out of hearing about how clover attracts fairies and thyme protects humans from fairy-induced mischief.

This fairy dome typically costs $25 to $30, which is a fair price for what you get.

Little girls were obsessed with Trolls last Christmas, but many of them have moved on to Moana. This lovable doll lets your little Disney fan act out scenes from the popular movie with the star herself.

A pretty floral bracelet and hair clip accent Moana’s outfit. The hair clip is removable, so your favorite girl can rock her own Moana-style attire.

This Moana doll is around $20, which is a reasonable price for a gift your girl will adore.

We don’t want to bombard you with Melissa and Doug toys on this gift list for girls, but let’s be honest here – they create some awesome stuff. This pediatric nurse costume is an excellent gift for a 5 year old girl because it encourages imaginary play, which is important at this age. The realistic accessories help your favorite mini nurse feel like she’s part of an official hospital team, and the baby doll gives her a patient to practice on (so she leaves unenthused pets and family members alone).

Looking for a different costume for creative play? This article has some great options – don’t let the Halloween title deter you.

Expect to spend $20 to $30 for this adorable pediatric nurse costume.

At this age, she probably has an interest in letters (or maybe you’re hoping she develops one before kindergarten). The double-sided spelling boards save space, plus she won’t end up scattering as many pieces throughout the house. We love that each board contains familiar words rather than weird stuff kids won’t recognize.

$15 is an excellent price for high-quality puzzles from Melissa and Doug. The pieces are made from wood, not cardboard, so they should last a while.

Before you make a Goodwill run or call a local children’s charity for pickup, give the Graphic Skinz Design Studio Girl a chance. Your daughter can revamp forgotten trinkets from the bottom of the toy box using the colorful Skinz from this set. They’re easy to apply, and they don’t leave behind a mess like some craft kits do.

It’s only $15 to $20 for a Graphic Skinz Design Studio Girl. That’s about how much you’d spend for a Barbie Doll or other popular girls’ toys.

She’s too cool for her scooter, but she still needs a way to get around the neighborhood. She can soar down the sidewalk on this vibrant pink skateboard day or night. The bright LED lights make it easy for drivers or pedestrians to see her coming.

This skateboard is sturdy and resilient, making it suitable for kids, tweens, and even teens who weigh 180 lbs or less.

It’s currently on sale for $38, but expect to pay up to $65 for this pink skateboard. Still cheaper than a bike, right?

Girls who adore fluffy kitties and cuddly puppies can pretend they’re pet owners – or fellow four-legged friends – with this cute set. She can create her own Littlest Pet Shop world with 15 lovable pets and plenty of adorable accessories.

One special glittery kitty has an access code for electronic play. If you limit your little one’s time on the tablet or smartphone, no worries – the kitty is still fun without an electronic device.

This set is a steal at just $15.

She wants to look her best and be just like Mom (or another adult she adores). This pretend makeup kit lets her feel like a grown up, minus the mess. It includes fake nail polish, eye shadow, lipstick, and powder.

The brushes are soft and feel just like Mom’s makeup brushes. The carrying case doubles as a cute purse, so she’ll always arrive in style for job interviews, hair appointments, and trips to the mall.

For $30, you can give your mini me a mess-free makeup experience with this pretend cosmetic kit.

Whether she loves eavesdropping on older siblings or spying on your next-door neighbors, this kit will keep her entertained for hours. She can check for clues with a hidden flashlight while pretending to paint her nails or send secret messages with a tube of lipstick.

This secret agent kit also contains enough supplies for several science experiments.

The kit costs $40, which some parents feel is too much. If you don’t want to fork over two Andrew Jacksons, you can purchase pieces from the spy kit separately.

Taylor Swift loves Daisy Rock guitars and has helped the company design some of the instruments she’s owned. This model is very similar to the glittery guitars she’s been photographed with over the years.

Even if your junior guitarist isn’t a Swift fan, she’ll have a blast strumming along with her favorite rock or country songs. This guitar really works – and it works well, according to reviewers.

You might want to put this gift on your credit card. The guitar costs around $200, and you’ll spend more than that if you include a cute strap or a kid-approved guitar pick.

Her BFFs probably own the same pair (and if not, there’s a good chance they’ll find these boots under the Christmas tree). These boots pair well with everything from leggings to skinny jeans, and we’ve also seen them with boots and dresses.

Fashion talk aside, these UGGs are a solid investment. They’re made from soft yet resilient sheepskin, so they last a long time – well, unless your fashionista’s feet grow quickly.

We’re not going to sugarcoat it: UGG boots are expensive. However, numerous reviewers say they’re worth every penny. Expect to spend anywhere from $100 to $160 for these trendy boots.

What kid doesn’t love Play-Doh? She’ll unleash her creative side as she rolls this soft dough into different shapes, combining different colors for one-of-a-kind designs. It’s generally nontoxic (not that we recommend letting her eat it), but if you’re shopping for a kiddo with allergies, keep it mind that Play-Doh contains wheat.

Maximize her fun by including some plastic tools, cookie cutters, or an activity set like the Play-Doh Kitchen Creations Frost ‘n Fun Cakes.

You get 36 colors for $25. That’s less than $1 a canister!

You want her to keep her hair out of her face during school or activities, and she wants to rock hair accessories that showcase her personal style. It’s a win-win situation for everyone.

Rhinestones, ribbons, feathers, and bows make it fun and easy to bedazzle headbands and hair clips. The kit includes glue and double-sided adhesive, so you don’t have to worry about buying extra supplies.

For around $20, your creative crafter gets 10 custom-made hair accessories for her wardrobe. That’s more than a week’s worth of accessories!

If she dreams of living life as a princess, this castle is just what she needs. She can hide from commoners inside the pink walls of this pop-up castle or invite a fellow princess inside for royal tea and cookies.

It’s super simple to set up this tent; in fact, some kids can even do it without a parent’s help. The outside is covered with bright hearts and glowing stars, making it clear that this is a princess-worthy dwelling.

Anywhere from $20 to $40 depending on whether you buy it on sale.

This cooking set helps her develop confidence in the kitchen, whether she dreams of leaving Gordon Ramsay speechless with her amazing recipes or simply wants to learn how to make a few basic meals. It includes common kitchen essentials, like measuring cups and a spatula, as well as recipe cards and an apron.

Parents love that these MasterChef cooking tools are dishwasher safe as long as you keep them on the top rack.

This junior chef kit costs around $40, but there are cheaper kits available. Get the pizza set or the breakfast set if you’re looking for something cheaper for your mini chef. Those kits each cost approximately $25.

Because what girl doesn’t need a stuffed unicorn that’s approximately 4 feet long and 3 feet high? She’ll have hours of fun embarking on adventures with this magical creature, whether she’s exploring the forest with fairies or saving the world while gripping this unicorn’s sparkly horn.

This unicorn is soft, shimmery, and beautiful. Expect to find it next to your little one’s bed if she can’t fit it on the mattress each night.

You’ll dole out $80 to $100 for this giant unicorn, but parents report their kids still love this cuddly creature long after Christmas ends.

If she’s an avid reader, Where the Sidewalk Ends deserves a permanent spot on her bookshelf. Make sure you add a personal note inside of the cover because this is the kind of book she’ll treasure for years.

Simple black-and-white sketches bring the whimsical poems to life. Your gift recipient will giggle as she reads silly poems about the sinking homemade boat and Terrible Theresa picking the middle pancake. The poems are geared toward kids age 4 to 10, but they’re fun for all ages.

As of November 2017, this book is only around $13 on Amazon. However, the list price is $19.99. You get free shipping if you’re a Prime member.

The slime craze is still going strong! Making homemade slime is a fun activity that she can do alone or with siblings and friends. It’s easy to make slime with this kit, so you don’t have to scour the Web for the perfect recipe.

Shopping for a kiddo on the spectrum? Slime is popular with kids who have autism or sensory processing issues, but neurotypical girls also love it. Kids often find it relaxing to squish and squeeze the slime with their hands or roll it flat across a tabletop.

This slime kit costs around $15, and it comes with nearly everything your favorite girl needs to get started. For a few more bucks, you can include some baking soda and contact lens solution so she can enjoy her gift right away.
