Having a little girl of our own I think we have a good grasp of what would make great gifts for the holidays or everyday. Below are a few things that we think most little girls age 2-8 would really appreciate and actually use.

Pottery Barn Kids-Mackenzie Duffel Bag-Don’t all little girls go on sleepovers? Maybe it’s to a friend’s house or an aunts or to the grandparents. Wherever they are headed they should definitely have their own luggage to store all of their must haves like slippers, a favorite stuffed animal and of course cozy pjs. Pottery Barn designs their luggage to be tough but still stylish and age appropriate.

Melissa and Doug Play Kitchen-Shae is 4 and still loves her kitchen. She often prepares meals for anyone willing to accept it and will do double duty as chef and server. Our Melissa and Doug kitchen accessories are made of only quality products and tested to be sure they last a lifetime.

Rio the Movie-Like most kids movie this one turns out to be a love story but before you realize that you’ve encountered rapping birds, dancing birds and birds that can’t fly. This is one movie that gets lots of use in our house due to the music, vibrant colors and non-stop on screen action.

Dolls-Dolls can be a little girl’s best friend for many years. Finding just the right doll baby can make you the star of the holidays because you know that one gift will bring years of joy. Dolls come in all shapes and sizes. Whether you get a realistic Götz doll or a rag doll or one that needs batteries to sing and dance find one that matches the personality of the child.

Musical Instrument-Guitars are suddenly all the rage; well at least in my house they are. Shae is asking for a guitar, everyday she asks. She loves music of all kinds and sings along to Bob Marley, Bare Naked Ladies, Imagination Movers and Kidz Bop. Indulge the inner musician or noise maker in your life and shop for instruments.
