Holiday Gift Ideas for Little Girls

Stylish and Festive Clothes for Girls

If you love ugly Christmas sweaters (and even if you don’t), the holiday season is the perfect excuse to bedazzle your little ones in red, green, and gold—and, yes, even tulle. More is more this holiday season.

We’ve handpicked plenty of festive wear that little girls will love, whether they’re fond of bold glittery looks or simple (but super stylish) statement pieces:

#1 A Sequin Cape

We’re kicking off our Christmas gift list with a touch of sparkle. If your mini enjoys being the center of attention, she’ll be over the moon with a Sequin Tulle Cape. It’s the perfect statement piece for any holiday party and doubles as a dress-up cape for role-playing, whether she’s imagining herself as a pretty princess or a dignified diplomat.

Made from soft tulle with shed-free gold glitter along the necktie, she’ll be ready for Christmas, her birthday, and every pretend play adventure in between.

#2 A Pair of Stylish Shoes

As children grow, they begin to adopt their own unique sense of style. Some prefer understated pieces that pair perfectly with almost any outfit. For practical little girls, we suggest the Eleanor T-Bar Flats. They’re cute, they’re classy, and their camel hue makes them the ultimate addition to most stylistic fashion choices.

But, if your mini prefers something with a little more flair for the holiday season (and beyond), she won’t be disappointed with red-sequin Mary Janes. Featuring an adorable red bow on the upper strap, she’ll be rocking a modern take on Dorothy’s ruby slippers, ready to take on whatever the Yellow Brick Road (and life) throws her way.

#3 A Dress with Holiday Spirit

There’s something magical about watching minis dash around holiday parties in their finest merry attire. Here are a few festive finds to consider:

• The classic velvet dress – This cherry red velvet Puff Sleeve Dress will add a cheerful touch to any holiday event.
• The girly glam dress – If your little girl prefers a sprinkle of glitz and glamour, this copper Diamond Sequin Dress brings just the right amount of sparkle to all Christmas and New Year’s celebrations.
• The versatile dress – This star-studded Goldie Tulle Dress effortlessly transitions from Christmas parties to the playground, making sure she’s the shining star for all occasions.

#4 Cozy Pajamas

Christmas morning (and any morning, really) calls for cozy pj’s and these sets are full of holiday cheer.

• The one-piece – Dress up your little one in a classic gingham nightgown, complete with a ruffled collar, long sleeves, and front pocket you can personalize with her monogrammed initials.
• The two-piece – If she’d prefer a two-piece set, these lightweight navy pajamas are accented with white piping and finished with delicate pearl buttons.

Either option will keep your mini cozy and warm all night long, ensuring the sugar plum fairies dance in her head and fill her dreams with holiday magic.

#5 Statement Jewelry

What better time to add to your daughter’s budding jewelry collection than during the Christmas season?

These golden smiley bracelets are sure to put a playful grin on her face, and with different colors to choose from, she can mix and match with all her favorite outfits. (Whether your little one decides to keep all five bracelets for herself or share with her besties—that’s entirely up to her!)

#6 Trendy Outerwear

There’s nothing like a perfectly layered outfit to make a little’s look stand out. During those chilly winter months, a stylish denim jacket is always a win. The sequin patches on the front add a touch of sparkle that gives it just the right amount of flash.

For a dash of drama and timeless elegance, this long faux fur coat pays tribute to movie stars of yesteryear. (And the heart print? It adds that extra touch of oh-la-la!)

Toys for Toddler Girls

Toys come in all shapes and sizes, from multi-piece puzzles that match their developmental stage to scooters for burning off that endless energy. But which toys are best suited to her interests and age?

Choosing toys can be a breeze when you focus on options that align with their developmental stage, as these can boost physical, cognitive, and emotional growth.

Below, we’ve curated a selection of toys that encourage pretend play, active play, and cognitive development:

#7 The Dollhouse of Their Dreams

Around age three, children start to dive deeply into imaginative play. Suddenly, those cardboard boxes from online shopping transform into cozy homes for their stuffed animals and dolls.

You can elevate their pretend play with the Foxtail Villa, a European-style wooden dollhouse that turns their make-believe houses into a world of developmental learning through play. Complete with adorable wooden appliances and furniture, this dollhouse ensures their dolls have everything they need for a perfectly cozy life.

#8 Arts and Crafts

If you’re eager to pass on your love for DIY projects (or simply want to help your child improve her fine motor skills), consider adding one of these gifts to her Christmas wish list:

• Bracelet-making kit – Let the good times roll with the Good Vibes Bracelet Kit, where your little DIYer will learn how to create five types of friendship bracelets she can share with family and friends.
• Dinosaur coloring set – This dino-themed coloring kit is perfect for keeping her entertained while running errands, grabbing a bite, or anytime you’re on the go. Packed with coloring pages, bright stickers, and various markers, she can channel her inner Van Gogh while you’re out and about, storing her creations in the included magnetically sealed storage box.

#9 An Indoor Play Gym

If we could bottle and share our little ones’ boundless energy, we would. But since that’s not an option, she needs a space to burn off some of that never-ending zest.

This Little Climber is perfect for creating various playtime combos, helping your children develop motor skills and balance. Designed to grow with your little one, it’s ideal for ages six months to five years. Plus, it’s foldable and easy to store—what’s not to love?

Stocking Stuffers for Little Girls

We couldn’t possibly forget a few tiny but mighty gifts perfect for filling out those stockings:

#10 Fun-Sized Toys

Sometimes, the tiniest toys make the biggest impressions on growing minds. We love these temporary tattoos. They’re non-toxic and perfect for puppy aficionados. And for the planet-loving creators in the family, these handmade chalk planets will satisfy their thirst for science and art.

#11 Self-Care Creations

Is it ever too early to teach your kids the value of self-care? We think not. Let them embark on a pampering journey filled with holiday nail stickers followed by pretend play at the salon with glitter rainbow hair clips. They can finish their day of relaxation by reading a new book beside you in bed, cuddling their Slumberkins sloth snuggler all the while.

Practical and Useful Gifts

Of course, you can’t forget to sneak a few practical items onto your child’s gift list. But don’t worry—these options double as useful and fun:

#12 Socks

As often as you find yourself buying socks for your kids, you’d think you’d have enough to last a lifetime. Yet, they seem to vanish faster than chocolate on Valentine’s Day, leaving you in need of more. These pink grippy socks are bold and help prevent unwanted slips on slick floors.

If bright is more her style, these rainbow-striped knee-high socks are easy to spot—whether she’s wearing them on Crazy Sock day at school or you’re hunting for its mate in the dryer.

#13 Alarm Clock

If your mini sneaks out of bed before the sun rises and climbs into your bed (or just pads into your room to tell you to turn on the TV), you’re not alone. Enter the MELLA children’s clock. This clever device is a sleep trainer, alarm clock, night light, and nap timer—all in one convenient little package.
