Oh I am having such fun putting these gift guides together! Thank you for your positive feedback from my 3 previous ones, Daddy, Grandpa and Au Pair. Now for girls.
(Those of you who have been following will notice that I have removed the ‘Nanny’ bit from the latter!)
If you would like to receive my last few gift guides and The London Mummy subsequent posts that are emailed straight into your inbox – I don’t bombard btw and you can always unsubscribe – please click here.
Anyway, enough. I personally think children are the easiest to buy for and girls especially. Included are some main presents, most for little girls, a few for bigger girls (not teenage!) some stocking fillers, some classics but hopefully none just for Christmas.
Liberty Print Hoop Decorations – Coco & Wolf £36
These are lovely wall hangings and are a change from a picture.
Assorted Dresses – Coco-Belle Clothing from £30
This is my huge secret that I am sharing with you. If you like trad, contact Sophie, give your size and she will send you what she has in stock. Bingo.
Pipity Activity Case £24.99
We have had this in the glove compartment of our car for a while. It is a dream and our first port of call when the children need distracting (before sweets, then Ipad but often it doesn’t get to it when they have their hands on a Pipity Activity Case!)
Alpaca Rabbit Hoodie – Oeuf NYC £116.12
So indulgent, but oh so sweet. Would also make a good hand me down to a different gender!
Bebelux ‘Big Pink’ Pushchair – Bebes Boutique £240
These are the doll pushchairs and prams to end all doll push chairs and prams. Hand made in Spain, they are exquisitely made with no details forgotten.
Our daughter is a ‘doll’ girl, as in some are ‘animals’ some are dolls and some are etc (I can’t think at the moment but you get my gist) so we are going for this super duper one that should last the distance. This is one present that won’t be going to the charity shop!
Mini A Ture Skirt in Rose Dust – Four Fairies & A Princess £38.50
If your little one I lucky enough to be stormingNY with you, this is the skirt to do it in.
Princess Carriage – Wow Toys £20
As you can see this list has a large range of age and price and this is on the lower end of both spectrums, but if you have a Cinderella fan, you can’t beat WOW toys for quality and longevity.
Cashmere Winter White Poncho – Mamma & Me £75
They actually do this in adult sizes but my ‘mum’ list is overflowing, I thought I would share this beautiful item in ‘girls’. Not suitable of ra messy one, but if they are susceptible to spilling their spaghetti they also come in black, grey and navy.
This is something I would have loved when I was little (other than the illusive Mr Frost…) What do you think? Cute?
Burn off some hyperactivity with the Twister Dance game. Will also teach them a bit of rhythm (if it can be taught!)
White Rabbit Tights – Braveling £15
Super cute selection of character tights from Braveling. I love these White Rabbit ones.
Glitter Heart Snap Hair Clips – Glammrags £5
Glammrags has hot the little girl accessory market by storm and I can see why. These clips are original and stay in. Check out their glitter hair bands too.
Home Education Bead Game – Hape £12
If you have a Hama fan, they should like these but with an educational angle thrown in.
V Tech Camera £42.59
Stop them pinching your iPhone and give them a camera instead.
Raffia Toy Storage Basket – Little Knickerbockers £44
What to do with all the stocking fillers in Christmas day? I love this raffia box that would suit hair ties, sunglasses and all the plastic jewellery they somehow accumulate.
Kids Navy/Biscuit Cashmere Sweater – Little Leggies £78
These contrast cashmere sweaters are insane. I love them. They also do adults (in slightly different and bolder colours) if you want to give a nod to the mini me trend this Christmas.
Boots – Monsoon £30
As you can see I have a penchant for sparkle and Monsoon are feeding it this season. Sparkly boots, metallic trainers – if you want to buy some eye catching footwear for your little one – head over to Monsoon.
Cut Green Grass, Bloomsbury Coat – Great British Baby Company £240
The range of traditional coats from the Great British Baby Company is extensive and they are all as beautiful as the next, If you are on the hunt for one to go to that Christmas Day Service , this is the place to go.
Elephant Lunch Box – Kidly £15
Kidly was recommended to me by a friend and I am so grateful The items are so cool and original and I defy you not find anything on their for your bambino’s!
Double Pom Pom Hat – The Bobble Hat £15
Last year it was all about the single pom pom, now it’s all about the double!
Horse Tassel Bracelet – Millie Pink £7.50
If you have a horse lover, this bracelet is a perfect stocking filler.
Baby Annabell Interactive Doll £36.99
Even before I had a daughter I had heard of Baby Annabel. It is the quintessential first doll of most young girlish the UK and they have just launched an interactive one. Feed it, take it to the loo (well not that you take it to the loo but you get my drift) this is the doll of all dolls.
Louise Misha Angora Scarf – £32
I want this for myself. Enough said.
My Dream Puppy – Little Live Pets £49
This does everything you would expect a puppy to do (apart from need a walk, make a mess and poop) and it has such a sweet little face.
What You Talking About Game £20
We love a game in our family and this looks like it would create a few laughs (and maybe keep them quiet?)
Interactive Unicorn – Baby Born £29
I went to my friends house who has 2 girls for a bit of inspo on this post and she showed me this light up unicorn that has consistently been a hit with them in her house. If it’s good enough for her, it’s good enough for me!
Hamleys Sticker Scratcherz £20
This was also on her hit list. If they like sticker, this is a bit more than just whacking them in a sticker book.
Might look slightly babyish but I bet your older children would also play with this foam machine in the bath too. Be generous with the bubbles and you will get some seriously good ‘ice cream’ in the bath.
Liberty Print Dolls Blanket – Coco & The Wolf £18
If the acrylic dolls blanket give you goose bumps, buy this one. Beautiful quality and a lovely print.
What are you getting your daughter/ God daughter/ niece for Christmas? Would love to hear your ideas.
