Gift Guide 2014: Best Gifts for Girls, Part 1

December 10, 2014 By: Nada Manleycomment

This is my favorite list of all, so it’s going to be a long one. There is nothing I like more than picking gifts for girly girls, and this guide is full of the sweetest, most creative and most charming girls’ gifts around! Today, 5 of my top picks – some classics, some current, all adorable. Tomorrow, look for part 2, with 20 more ideas for every sweet little girl in your life!

Happy shopping!

Fabric Wall Decals

My sister used to color on the walls as a baby. This is much neater. These beautiful fabric wall decals are a fun, creative way for your daughter to express her sense of style – and decorate her own room! To order a set, click here or on the picture.

Wooden Dollhouse

I am a big fan of Le Toy Van, which makes sweet whimsical wooden dollhouses and play sets, but this Royal Palace from Pottery Barn also caught my eye. Gorgeous, and I love the attention to detail.

Playsilks

Yes I know that this seems like a lot of money to spend on silk scarves, but these have been the most played with toys in our house for more than 5 years. They serve as baby doll blankets and capes and tablecloths for tea parties and elaborate dress up outfits. Even boys love them. Buy a nice quality set, like this one, and your girls will play with them for years.

Tea Sets

When Lola turned 1, my sister gave her a stunning porcelain tea set in its own beautiful hatbox. At that age, it served as room decor, but now, years later, that tea set has witnessed countless tea parties – with mommy, with her little sister Eva, and with her little friends. And unlike many “heirloom” toys, a special tea set is truly something she will want to pass down to her own little girl some day.

Mooshka Dolls

There is a part of me, and not a small one. that is absolutely brokenhearted that my girls are past the ages (nearly 7 and 8) for playing with Mooshka dolls. So to compensate, I plan to buy one for every little girl I know. They are the exact opposite of Monster High and Bratz and all of the other dark, creepy dolls that I despise. Mooshka dolls are pure innocence and sweetness. The designs are so pretty they rival any designer doll from a high-end catalog, but the prices are very down to earth (most are under $20). There is one to delight every little girl, from ballerinas to fairies, and their tiny pets are, if possible, even cuter. Sigh. Check out a range of them right here.
