Top Ten Gift Ideas for Girly Girls - Picking the Perfect Gift

Content Special Offer

I use the term “girly girl” because that is what we call two of our three daughters. Another popular term to describe them would be “princess.” These are the young ladies who relish in being female and young. They have to shop, even if they have no money. They will not leave the house without make-up, jewelry and perfectly cute outfits. When they travel, even for a weekend, they need a separate vehicle to carry their belongings.

I have always had great success in finding the perfect gifts for my girly girls, and here is a top ten list of some of my biggest hits.

1. Sex & The City & Shoes Gift Box

Last Christmas, I put together a Sex & The City & Shoes Gift Box for my twenty-year-old daughter. I bought a season of the TV show that she was missing from her collection. I found a cool shoe-themed desk calendar that came in a mini shoebox. Themed calendars are in kiosks in every mall in America. I got the Sex & The City traveling board game from Toys R Us. To that, I added a high heel shoe keychain I found at Icings, one of those trinket boutiques. Of course, I had to get a gift certificate from her favorite shoe store as well. I put everything in a beautiful gift box that can be reused for decorative storage. She still says that was the best gift she has ever received.

She’s twenty-one this year, so I am going to mix it up with a cosmo theme instead of shoes. I am looking for a calendar with a cocktail theme. Every major department store has cute cocktail glasses and shaker sets. A book on mixing drinks would be perfect for this box. She still has several missing seasons, so Sex & The City should help me out for the next few years!

2. Antique Items

Antique items do not have to cost a fortune. Adorable antique hair pins can cost as little as $2 or as much as $20. Every antique shop has them, and you’ll find porcelain hair pin holders too.

Other antique items girly girls love are silver plated dresser sets, jewelry boxes, costume jewelry pieces and make-up train cases.
