Once again, I tried to focus on slightly quirky, under-the-radar toys, so you won’t find any American Girls or Barbie dolls on this list, not that I think there is anything wrong with either! It’s just that those are toys you are already aware of, and I am trying to offer options you may not have heard of – gifts that might be a little more unique! I did throw in a couple of slightly more obvious options on this list than on the others, just because I couldn’t resist, but I wanted it to offer something for everyone!
Yogateers, $39.95: This non-competitive game teaches the basics of yoga to kids of all ages. A great way to build strength, flexibility and self-esteem. A great gift for the daughter of an avid yoga practitioner.
Art Lab Fashion Studio, $19.99: As a fledgling fashionista, I used to love this toy called Fashion Plates, which let you assemble outfits and color them by scratching over the raised shapes. I played with it constantly. This would appeal to modern future fashionistas, and it includes a light table, acetate paper and pencils. A car studio is also available for future engineers.
Mackenzie Rolling Luggage, $99-119: These adorable suitcases come in a variety of prints, and make a perfect accessory for all her future excursions!

Plus, 3% of the proceeds go to the cause of your daughter’s choice. Choose from dolls “from” Italy (pictured), Australia, China, Kenya, Mexico or the USA!
