It’s that time of year again. The time when it suddenly becomes apparent to me that I need to quickly get serious about my holiday shopping and find some great stuff to put under the tree for my kids. If you’re anything like me, then sometimes you get stuck. Will they actually like this? If I were a kid right now, what would I want? Well, no fear guys. I’ve got you covered with some really fun gift ideas for young girls this holiday season. I know they’re fun, because I had my daughter Ella test them out, and every single item in this post was a huge hit with her!
Stripe Pompom Beanie from Justice
This adorable striped sweater knit beanie from Justice is the perfect addition to any young girl’s winter wardrobe. Ella loves this hat so much, that she’s been wearing it both inside and out! The large fluffy pompom gives it a super cute flair, and the snuggly soft sweater knit and snug band will keep your girl cozy all snow-day long. This beanie is made of polyester, is imported, and should be hand washed in cold water.
If you have a daughter, then I guarantee at some point you’ve heard about American Girl dolls. With their Truly Me™ dolls, you can choose a friend that celebrates who your girl is inside and out. Whether your daughter (or the little girl in your life) is a leader on the sports field, a star on the stage, or a whiz in the classroom, every girl can tell her own story of who she is and who she aspires to be. Ella loves to play make believe and pretend to be all kinds of different things, and the Truly Me™️ dolls are perfect for that! She also loved that she could choose a doll that resembles the way she looks. Her brown haired, blue eyed doll is essentially her twin. The 18” Truly Me™️ doll has lifelike eyes that open and close smoothly, realistic hair that can be styled, a soft cotton body, and a moveable head and limbs made of smooth vinyl. When she arrives, she’ll be wearing an adorable floral dress, a moto jacket, and glittery flats, but if you didn’t already know, American Girl offers a wide variety of outfits and accessories to go with their dolls, which only adds to the fun. The Truly Me™ doll also an interactive paperback book, Friends: Making Them and Keeping Them. This book helps girls learn how to make new friends and make the most of the friendships they have. It’s full of quizzes, crafts, advice, and true stories.
And because as I mentioned above, dolls are always more fun with accessories…
Cookie Baking and Decorating Set
This is the perfect way for your American Girl®️ dolls to whip up something fun in the kitchen for the holidays! Ella had so much fun playing with her doll and pretending to decorate cookies with her.
The festive set includes:
-Three color-changing gingerbread cookies! They look plain until your girl “decorates” them using cold water and the piping bag, and then the colorful frosting patterns appear. You can change the cookies back to plain gingerbread by dipping them in warm water to enjoy the playtime over and over again.
-A red mixing bowl that can be filled with water to make the cookies change color.
-Cookie dough to prepare with the striped rolling pin that spins like the real thing.
-2 cookie cutters so she can pretend to cut the cookie shapes.
-A metal baking sheet that fits all three cookies.
-A cookie recipe card.
-A pretend timer to make sure the treats bake just right.
-A pink spatula for lifting cookies off the sheet.
-A snowflake-print apron that ties in back to keep her clothes neat while she bakes.
American Girl® dolls can get ready to snuggle in for bedtime and sugarplum dreams, and Ella has so much fun changing her doll into her festive pjs before heading off to bed. These snowy pajamas feature:
-A snowflake print soft cotton top with button details and contrast piping.
-Cotton pants with a snowflake print.
-Furry white slippers with a golden embroidered star on the toes.
Decked Out Holiday Dress for Doll
If your daughter loves dressing up for the holidays and would want her doll to the same, then the Decked Out Holiday Dress is perfect! American Girl® dolls will sparkle head to toe at every festive celebration in this outfit, featuring:
-A fancy dress with a sparkly multicolor sequin bodice, full tulle skirt, and silver satin bow at the waist.
-A silver glitter headband with sparkly rhinestones and a matching rhinestone ring.
-Red glitter shoes with silver satin bows.

Build-A-Bear Snow Magical Glisten Gift Set
Furry friends from Build-A-Bear are a favorite around here, and my daughter is obsessed with Snow Magical Glisten. This magical reindeer makes it her mission to spread cheer and goodwill all season long. Ella loves her sparkly fur that is reminiscent of a glistening snowfall! Plus her magical antlers and hooves have a colorful pattern of swirly snowflakes. Ella has a lot of fun getting Snow Magical Glisten ready for flying weather by dressing her in outfits and accessories of her choice, such as:

Fuzzy Snowflake Bow:
You can add some fuzzy flair to your furry friend’s hair with this adorable snowflake bow that features a sparkly snowflake.

Whether or not us grownups are here for it or not, poop seems to be all the rage with kids. They think it’s hilarious! Thanks to this chocolate poop maker, your kids can make their own adorable poops by melting the chocolate, “flushing” it down the toilet, pouring the chocolate into molds, then refrigerating for five minutes and adding their own cute poo-tastic touches. Ella has been having way too much fun repeatedly making little chocolate poops. The Chocolate Poop Maker™ comes in pink or white, and can be used with chocolate from home, which means the fun can happen over and over again! The set includes one reusable toilet, one chocolate poop mold with cute faces, one packet of brown chocolate, one toilet plunger, and one reusable chocolate dispenser.
Inspired by Gigantosaurus™, one of the top rated animated programs for kids ages 3-6, this dinosaur toy was one that all of my kids couldn’t wait to play with. They all loved that with the push of a button, they could make Gigantosaurus’s mouth open and close and make him make loud roaring sounds. Your kids can also make Gigantosaurus stomp to hear real stomping sounds.
Leading the Way: Women in Power Book from Candlewick Press
In my opinion, Leading the Way: Women In Power is a must-have book for every young girl. This accessible and engaging collection of biographies that spotlights the careers of fifty American women in politics, and inspires readers to make a difference. With a forward by Hilary Rodham Clinton, Leading the Way: Women In Power highlights the actions, struggles, and accomplishments of more than 50 of the most influential women (balanced between Democrats and Republicans) in American history. Ella and I loved sitting down together to read the biographies of these diverse women who totally inspire today’s young women to follow in their footsteps and spark their interest in leadership roles, politics, and political activism.
I hope that if you are still on the hunt for the perfect gift for the young girls (or boys too) in your life, that this gift guide has helped to give you some new and fun ideas!
