When I think of my daughter, I can’t help but think of this article I read where a pediatrician called 8-Year old girls the “highest form of humanity“. If this is true, which I see so much validity in this article, then so much needs to go into selecting the perfect Christmas gift for this age range!
Something You Want: LOL Dolls
My daughter is very into LOL dolls this year because of the surprise factor and how they can be customized to switch their clothes and hair! While I’ll gift her a few LOL doll balls to open I’m excited to gift her the house below for them to go in!
If your daughter isn’t into LOL dolls then I think the comeback of Barbie makes any Barbie related toy or clothing item a safe bet this Christmas!
Something You Need: Jewelry Organization
My daughter got her ears pierced this year so a place to organize her earrings is an actual Need! Even if you have an 8-9-year-old who doesn’t have pierced ears chances are they are into accessories so this jewelry box will keep those organized. This one below from PB kids can be personalized, which I love!
Something You Wear: Caden Lane Jammies and Swim
Caden Lane is my go-to for personalized gifts so I am planning to gift my oldest a pair of the comfiest jammies around that will be just for her! Seriously having something truly customized is big for an 8 year old girl!
I know it’s cold at Christmas, but our family loves finding ways to swim even when it’s cold whether it be a trip to Great Wolf Lodge or even a hot tub while skiing. I will pick up a few more of these swimsuits for my oldest because she loved them so much this summer.
Something You Read: National Geographic Books and Magazine Subscription
8 and 9 years olds are anything if not curious. This gift isn’t gender specific by any means, but a book about animal facts or even a subscription to the kids National Geographic magazine will be a homerun for my fact loving daughter!
Something you Do: Zoo
My daughter loves learning about animals so we are planning a trip to the highly touted Greenville Zoo in Greenville, SC. I’ll likely pair these tickets with a little lovey like this little bear because a stuffy is always a well-received gift to remind you of Fun to come!
Hopefully, this list helps you find the perfect gift for the 8-9 girl year old on your list! I can see several of these items being gender neutral too!
