Gift for an 8 year old girl?

So what are 8 year old girls into these days?  Clueless on what to buy for xmas.

Re: Gift for an 8 year old girl?

  • What are her interests?  Music (itunes card if she has an ipod)? Movies (DVDs)? Books (gift card or next book in a favorite series)? Clothes?
  • I got my niece a sparkly (grown up looking) charm bracelet.  She is into all the girly pink stuff.  
  • my niece is 8 i got her, a nail brush nail art kit ( she asked for it), a make your own pottery set, and a pack of zoobles.   All from Toys R us.
  • I think squinkies are big this year. 
  • Zoobles, Littlest Pet Shop, Moxie girls (similar to a Barbie) are all popular right now. Zhu-Zhu pets are also very hot and very hard to get your hands on. You can always check the dollar section at target and get a bunch of cute lotions, note pads, hair accessories etc and make her a gift basket (my 6 year old loves this stuff)

  • I have a 7 1/2 year old step-daughter. She loves Zhu-Zhu pets, Hanna Montana, I Carly, and Wizards of Waverly Place. We are also huge board game players at our house. I bought her the Apples to Apples Disney version for fun and she loves it!

  • It depends on the kids, really.  I think lot of girls her age like music from Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift etc.  But then there are a lot of other girls who would rather have books or movies instead.  Find out from her parents what she's into.

    My "niece" (a longtime childhood friend's DD) is 9 and right now she's all about jewelry from the store "Justice."  Last year I got her an initial pendant, earrings & bracelet from there and her mom said she still wants more Justice jewelry so I'll once again be on the prowl for some cute accessories from there this year.

  • My step-daughter is 8. She loves to read and so we may get her a kindle.

  • My niece is 7 and she asked for new board games.  She's outgrown the ones that she currently has - like Candy Land.

    I got her Apples to Apples Kids (the 7+ version) and Bananagrams.

  • I got my 8 yr old cousin a Toys R Us giftcard that way he could feel special picking out what he wanted. Call it lazy but he got to buy what he liked
