Princess LOVED making her wish list this year. There were a few times she had to be reined in, like when she made the list of over 50 LEGO sets she just couldn't live without, but other than that, she seems super excited about the holiday gift giving season.
This is huge progress for Princess, as gift giving season is a trigger for her in so many ways. Princess loves to give, but she's not a fan of receiving. Knowing her list was going to turn into gift ideas for girls everywhere made the process so much more fun for her.
If you have a girl on our holiday list this season between the ages of eight and twelve, Princess has you covered. She is so diverse when it comes to likes and interests.
There are six different sections to Princess' wish list aka a gift guide for girls.
1. Dolls
2. Embroidery
3. LEGO
4. Bracelet Making
5. Book Series
6. Movies
Gift Ideas for Girls
Ever since her younger sister fell in love with Barbie, Princess has been very intrigued by dolls of that nature.
When I showed her the new Creatable World dolls, she was over the moon excited, in that they were all she wanted in a doll and more. Here are just a few reasons she loves them so much.
- They come with lots of accessories.
- They can be boys or girls.
- They come in several different ethnicities and skin color.
When it comes to imagination, the sky is the limit with these dolls. Princess earned enough money to purchase one of these dolls (one not listed on her wish list) a few months ago. She has not put it down.
The Creatable World dolls are smaller than Barbie dolls. For that reason she wants a male and a female Barbie doll. Of course not just any will do. Lol. She was quite specific about her preferences, which I love.

I love that she's showing an interest in these types of activities as it's always a benefit to keep her hands and mind busy. Princess has already picked out a place in her room to store all of these fun items.

Princess loves LEGO friends above any other kind of LEGO, but like I mentioned earlier I had her narrow down her choices from 50+ to six. You really can't go wrong with LEGO. The sets on this list are brand new ones this year that she doesn't have.
Princess has had a love hate relationship with jewelry. She loves to wear jewelry, but is also rough with it to the point that many jewelry pieces break.
This year she's been very specific in that she wants more jewelry. I've been clear with my concerns. We discussed the issue and decided that the very best way to provide her with opportunities to have more jewelry and help me with my concerns, is for her to make her own jewelry!
I LOVE this idea in that it will keep her hands and brain busy, enhance creativity, and if something breaks, she has the means to fix it.
Once again, she has already cleared out a space in her room to store supplies, the organized child that she is. Lol.
Princess LOVES to read. It's rare not to find a book in her hand. Our biggest dilemmas are that she's a speed reader and her reading capacity is far above her grade level. Finding enough age appropriate stories for her can be incredibly difficult. You will find no single book selections on her list.
Thankfully Princess has a big brother with the same problem. He's happily introduced her to some new material like Percy Jackson. Another benefit is that Princess loves to reread her favorite books over and over again.
Princess is at the point in her movie selections where she's not quite ready for all of the PG-13 craze, but is growing out of little kids movies. I LOVE her movie wish list this year. There were so many great movies that came out for preteens this year that aren't PG-13.
