As a mom of four, I’ve had so much fun coming up with a list of items for the holidays. Mixing classic gifts with a few trendy surprises makes shopping for girls extra special. A timeless bicycle or dollhouse sparks their imagination in a way that never gets old, while something fun like a Squishmallows Clue game or colorful Crocs adds a playful touch. For girls ages 6-10, these thoughtful gifts blend creativity and pure joy, making every birthday or Christmas feel magical.

Creative Craft Kits

There’s something charming about a gift that lets a girl’s imagination run wild. Craft kits inspire that creativity perfectly. The Lite-Brite Ultimate Classic is a fun throwback, with its glowing lights and endless design possibilities. Girls can spend hours creating twinkling pictures—it was one of my favorite childhood toys!

If she’s a budding artist, the Spirograph Design Set is a must. This classic set allows her to create intricate, magical patterns. For future fashion designers, the Fashion Plates Deluxe Kit helps her design stylish creations.

For girls ages 6-10 who love to paint, the Kid Made Modern Studio in a Box is fantastic. It’s a step up from preschool kits, offering high-quality art supplies like paints, markers, pencils, and brushes. This kit is perfect for budding artists ready to explore more advanced projects, from painting canvases to sketching.

For something more specialized, the Crayola Light-Up Tracing Pad is another great choice. With its backlit tracing feature, she can create layered, detailed drawings. It’s both fun and functional, helping her refine her artistic skills while sparking hours of creativity. These gifts will inspire endless artistic fun and give her something she’ll proudly display!

Classic Chapter Books That Create Lifetime Readers

For girls aged 6-10, classic chapter books make thoughtful and timeless holiday gifts that encourage a love of reading. Betsy-Tacy by Maud Hart Lovelace is a perfect choice, offering stories of friendship and the simple joys of childhood. These books are ideal for cozy winter reading, making them a delightful gift to unwrap during the holidays.

Another great option is Nothing’s Fair in Fifth Grade by Barthe DeClements, a relatable and heartwarming story that can spark meaningful conversations about friendships and growing up. Paired with a cozy blanket or a fun bookmark, it becomes an even more special holiday treat.

For a more classic touch, consider Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery or The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Both stories offer a sense of adventure and self-discovery, perfect for young readers to dive into during the holiday break. Giving these books as gifts can inspire a lifelong love of reading, and they’re treasures that can be passed down for generations.

Outdoor Fun with a Girly Spin

For those girls who love to be outdoors, we can certainly go beyond the usual bikes and roller skates (though they’re always fun!). Instead, let’s take it up a notch with something a little more unique. The Flybar Foam Master Pogo Stick is the perfect way for girls to get moving while having a blast in the backyard. Pair it with other active gift ideas like a new bike, complete with a helmet for safety, or a scooter that can provide hours of outdoor fun. Roller skates are another exciting option, offering a classic way for kids to stay active while mastering balance and coordination. In addition, a tumbling mat encourages safe flips, rolls, and cartwheels—perfect for the budding gymnast or anyone who loves to move! These gifts inspire physical activity and make great additions to a holiday gift list for kids who love adventure.

Stylish Yet Classic Clothes and Shoes

What girl doesn’t love a cozy sweater or fun accessories to complement her wardrobe? In this ultimate gift guide for girls, a soft, colorful sweater makes the perfect gift for chilly days, offering both warmth and style. Crossbody bags in cute colors add a trendy touch, giving her a stylish way to carry essentials. Pair that with cute boots or ever-popular Squishmallow Crocs, and her footwear will be as adorable as it is comfy. For extra warmth, a Patagonia Kids’ Fleece jacket in soft pinks or lavenders is a go-to layering piece. Don’t forget cozy slippers for those cold winter mornings—ideal for lounging at home. These gifts bring together style and comfort, perfect for any girl who loves practical yet fun fashion.

A Girly Travel Essential: The Duffle Bag

If she’s heading off to a sleepover or even a weekend at Grandma’s, a cute and functional duffle bag is the perfect gift. Duffle Bags in a fun floral print are both practical and pretty.
