Shop 'Til You Drop: The Best Gifts For Girls (That They Actually Want)

If your kid hasn’t already discovered slime, you’re in the minority. This kit has everything you need (including the stuff you didn’t know you needed) to have the slime of your life. With over 100 different slime variations possible, you and your little one can have hours of creative fun together. Included in the box is glue, unicorn beads, colored inks, scents, snow powder, stirring sticks, and more. There are also clear instructions and airtight containers to store the slime afterward. One parent and reviewer said, “A complete kit for everything you need for DIY slime! We had a lot of fun with this. My daughter has been asking to make slime for a while and I had no idea how to do it. Look no further because this kit has everything you need and then some. Original Stationary has got you covered. This kit has the instruction manual, base mix, the containers and the cutest add ins to create custom unicorn slime. The directions were thorough and easy to follow. Everything is so cute! I think this would make a great gift for anyone wanting to make slime or someone who just loves crafting. I’m very happy with my purchase. We will definitely be purchasing more kits from them to try out.”

THROW A BOW ON IT In true Jojo Siwa fashion, throw a bow on it! Now, that’s how you style hair according to the Dance Moms turned fashion icon and singer and overall bow-wearing phenomenon. (We’re partial to her high side-ponytail which matches her peppy personality to a T.) Whether it’s playing dress-up or testing out a kid-approved makeup kit (the ones with glittery lip gloss and purple eyeshadow), ultimately, girls just wanna have fun. Gals will get a kick out of styling the Jojo Styling Head with a pink hairbrush, elastics, and of course, her signature humongous bows. Before you know it, they’ll be replicating the same style for their own afternoon ‘do. Beyond testing out their stylist skills (future hair MVP, right here), this simple toy will also encourage imaginative play as they beautify Jojo.  

NO SUCH THING AS TOO MUCH RAINBOW “If you can be anything, be a unicorn.” Damn straight. Bathtime can be a point of contention, but it also can be super fun. You just need the right accessories—give or take some magical fairy dust—in your arsenal, Mom. AKA a plush rainbow robe with a unicorn horn, eyes, and ears decorating the hood. How cuteeeee would this be for a slumber party with her best gal pals? Trust us, she’ll be begging you for a bath just so she can wear this afterward! TBH, we kind of want one too. Be prepared to make a mega splash with this ah-mazing luxury robe—you can’t go wrong. Another customer says, “Bought this for my niece’s 6-year-old bday party gift and she loves it. I get photos from her parents because she wears it every night, she takes selfies with it and posed in a few photos with me.”

YOU’VE NEVER SEEN AN ELEPHANT FLY? With over 150 sounds and movements, the animated Wildluvs Juno My Baby Elephant will teach the girl in your life all about loving animals from a young age. Juno is not just an elephant, but a baby elephant, who grows and evolves as she’s nurtured. When she first comes home with your girl, Juno’s a l’il shy and even hides behind her ears. As play continues and deepens, Juno will get sillier and display her cute personality more (from her floppy moving ears to an array of expressions). Complete with a mouse and peanut accessory, Juno can giggle, make funny sounds, and swing her trunk round ‘n’ round. She may even give you a kiss if you teach her tricks! In other words, when you’re getting dressed in the morning, allow this interactive toy to keep the L.O. preoccupied for at least half an hour. Works like a charm. 

LIKE AN APPLE WATCH, BUT FOR KIDS Kids may be young, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t privy to the latest technology. The VTech Kidizoom Smartwatch DX features three fun activities, five games, three action challenges, and a motion sensor. Splash-proof (because we moms know how messy kids get when washing their hands), this Smartwatch has a camera, voice recorder, touch screen, alarm, timer, stopwatch, calendar feature, calculator, and more. Who needs the latest iPhone 11 Pro when you’ve got a smartwatch to snap pictures (photo effects included!) and capture video? Dang, Mom, with this watch your kid will be more tech-savvy than you! But actually. This Amazon Mom explains, “To my surprise I didn’t even go through all of the games or apps on this watch but my 4-year-old figured out how to use it! She even tells me ‘mommy listen this watch tells you what time it is!’ And she found out how to use the camera, she recorded herself by singing frozen.”   

WHIP SOMETHING UP IN THE KITCHEN If you grew up with an Easy-Bake Oven, then surely you can understand our excitement here. Who wouldn’t want to set up this terrific kitchen play center? Complete with an oven microwave, and refrigerator, this Little Tikes Tasty Jr. Bake ‘N Share Kitchen set is made for your mini chef(s) in training. Bonus: The kitchen comes with 2 grow-with-me modes so that the countertop can be adjusted according to height. ‘Cuz it’s not a kitchen without something scrumptious to whip up, three “pretend play” recipes are included alongside 40+ food and cookware pieces. We spy a pizza pie and frosted cupcakes… let’s hope they share. In addition to a stove top that makes real cooking sounds, there’s a smart phone holder so that your child can snap pics of all her yummy creations (just like mommy!). One Amazon customer raves, “My daughter loves making the pizza and cupcakes and pouring coffee with the coffee pot!”

CAN’T DULL THEIR SPARKLE Wowowow! Who needs a ginormous teddy bear when you can have an effing lifesize plush unicorn taking up space in the playroom? Melissa & Doug came through with just that. Best believe that your little princess will be inseparable (be it hugging, cuddling, or riding at any given moment) from this pure white three-foot tall stuffed plush toy that’s full of whimsy and enchantment. Details include a pink shiny horn, shimmering stars, and pink hooves. As they dream up their own fantasy world, they’ll be able to let their imagination run wild. This Amazon customer says it best, “My daughter is 7, and LOVES this unicorn! It is absolutely beautiful, what girl wouldn’t fall in love with a giant sparkly unicorn? She named it Shimmer, and pretends to ride “her” around the house all day, even made a “stable” in the closet for her.” 

PIMP MY RIDE Your girls love the L.O.L. dolls, so it’s time they had their own Glamper Fashion Camper. Essentially a dollhouse on wheels (but who are we kidding, like a million times cooler), this tricked out ride includes 55+ surprises and an exclusive doll. In addition to a fashion runway, there’s a two-story water slide and light-up pool. There’s no shortage of cool hangout spots, including bunk beds, a BBQ patio, a hip café, and D.J. Booth for mixing sick tunes. As if that wasn’t enough, once detached, the front-half of the camper also functions as a separate car—complete with its own working horn and headlights, no less. We’re telling you moms, the obsession is real. This Amazon customer keeps it real, “As much as I hate to admit how much I’ve spent on L.O.L.’s, I love that it allows my daughters to use their creativity and play without being on electronics. As long as they’re interested, I’ll be purchasing!”
