Need Gift Idea for 6yo girl

Angel · August 15, 2008

Yeah I remember I used to get the magazines in the mail. When she told me she wanted one I was like they still have that. Funny how a lot of old stuff comes back.

When I was 6, I was reading Nancy Drew books.. if she likes to read maybe she would like those?

The build-a-bear is a good idea too

I took my brother (4) and sister (almost 6) to build a bear about 2 weeks ago. The bears are around $18, but there were some other ones that were a little more. You can get a sound effect for a couple bucks more. $25 is definitely enough for the bear. I got them the outfit and shoes with the bear and sound effect and it was about $45, but the outfits are all different prices. They both loved it though so I definitely think that is a good gift idea.

If she likes to read, definitely go for books...or even a gift card for a bookstore, that way she can pick out what she wants.

If you want some ideas for books in her age group, here are a few that come to mind:

Magic Treehouse (series, up to about 50 titles I believe)

Disney Fairies (series, follows Tinkerbell and her fairy friends)

Royal Diaries (series, fictional diaries from real life princesses through history)

Pony Pals (series)

Scholastic has also released easy to read editions of classic stories, like Anne of Green Gables, The Jungle Book, Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz...they are called Scholastic Junior Classics

Anything by Raold Dahl is great (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, George and the Giant Peach, The Twits)

Judy Blume is great too.

Sorry, I seem to have gone off and written a novel about kids books!

Thanks for all the book idea, i think i mike go that route with it. Or at least get her one or two books and then maybe something else like the build a bear gift certificate.

Thanks girls, i knew i could count on you guys for ideas.

Just wanted you girls to know that i went out last weekend and bought Ryleigh some books. Thanks for all the ideas and special thanks to JenniferLynn for the book recommendations.

Waaah...I'm too late! I would have suggested some "Junie B. Jones" books. You can buy like a 5 pack at Sam's Club for very reasonable.

There are personalized books which are fantasic. They are only about $13 and the child is in the book. There are several websites for them if you google personalized books. Some of the sites I have used are:

Personalized Children's Books

Personalized Children's Books from Create a Book

Personalized Childrens Books - Our beautiful childrens books are a magical adventure in reading!
