One of the concerns that parents will face this year is purchasing toys for girls. They have a different set of toys and items that they would like to get and they won't always be as straightforward as boy's toys. Fortunately there will be indicators that will help you find great items for the girls in your family. The main thing is to keep up with trends as well as look for perennial girl's gifts. This way you will cover all the bases and your daughter can keep up with the rest of her friends. Here are some suggestions to help guide you as you pick Christmas presents for the little women in your family.
Dolls are a reliable gift choice. There are few little girls out there that do not want a doll. This can also be the most cost effective one depending on brand and accessories. The most popular brand has and will likely be for a long time Barbie. However, if you get a Barbie be prepared to get the accessories too. This is where the majority of the cost is going to be. This will be true, especially if you spring for the house and car. However Barbie is not the only doll out there. Other popular brands are Bratz dolls and Polly pocket for those who like the mini dolls. There are also babie doll toys. When shopping for dolls pay close attention to your children's wish list and have them point out in a catalog what they are looking for.
Another popular Christmas item will be dress up sets. There is nothing a girl loves more than dressing up, especially as her favorite characters. In recent times the big thing for little girls has been the Disney princesses lineup. The company has been smart in selling costumes and accessories that help little girls dress up like their favorite characters. However you don't have to go name brand if you shop around at your local toy store you should be able to find cheap alternatives that your daughter can have fun with and not bust your budget.
Since girls like to pretend dressing up you know pretending having their own household is another favorite pastime. This means toy kitchen and home sets. While these may sound expensive it is not as bad as you might think. A pretty decent kitchen set can cost anything from $50 to over $100 so it is not too much of a strain on your budget. Make sure to research non electric ones for younger children since these should be much safer and less likely to cause injury
The more elusive gifts will actually trendy items tied to popular TV shows and movies. I have already mentioned the Disney princess line of items which could be anything from the movies to lip gloss and dress up items. The same goes for Hannah Montana which includes a fashion line, make up kit, manicure kit, wigs, costumes, dolls and DVDs. If you see it being advertised then there is a high likelihood your daughter wants it look around in your local superstore and toy store to see what is being offered and budget accordingly. You can also add something special to the presents such as a special call from Santa which you can order at certain stores online.
