Finding the perfect Christmas gifts for girls can be a delightful yet sometimes daunting task. As another holiday season rolls around, it’s time to start thinking about what will bring joy to the young ladies in your life. For over a decade, I’ve been sharing our family’s Christmas gift selections, and it’s become a tradition both for our readers and for us personally, helping to streamline our holiday shopping and ensure we pick out presents our girls will truly love. There’s nothing quite like the peace of mind that comes with having all the gifts sorted well before the holiday rush, and that’s what this guide is all about – making your Christmas gift selection process easier and more inspired.
This year’s list is packed with thoughtful and engaging presents for girls of all ages, from tweens to teens and beyond. These are the gifts we’re actually giving our girls this Christmas, the items that have made their wish lists and sparked our own excitement. We hope this peek into our Christmas morning plans will spark some ideas for you too!
Christmas Gifts for Teen Girls (Age 14.5)
For Ella, our eldest at 14.5, we’ve curated a selection of gifts that cater to her evolving interests and passions. Teen girls often appreciate gifts that blend functionality with personal expression, and this year’s choices reflect just that.
Shokz Headphones
Shokz Headphones for Teen Girl Christmas Gift
Ella already has earbuds, but these Shokz Headphones have caught her eye. Known for their bone-conduction technology, they offer a unique listening experience, allowing her to stay aware of her surroundings while enjoying her favorite music or podcasts. We gifted a pair to her grandpa recently, and they were a hit, so we’re confident Ella will love them too. These are perfect Christmas gifts for girls who value both music and safety.
Paint Markers
For the artistically inclined teen, Paint Markers are an excellent choice. Ella is deeply passionate about all forms of art, and when an Instagram friend recommended these markers, I knew they’d be perfect. They’ve been saved in my browser tabs for months, and I’m excited to see her reaction on Christmas morning. Creative Girl Christmas Gifts like these always encourage self-expression.
Piping Tips Set
Cake decorating has become a favorite hobby for Ella this year. Teaming up with her cousin, she’s even started baking cakes and cookies for hospitalized children celebrating birthdays – how sweet is that? Our current Piping Tips selection was not up to par with her ambitions, so this upgrade is a must. Gifts that support their hobbies are always appreciated Christmas gifts for girls.
White StarBlends Face Paint
Venturing into the world of face painting supplies is a bit new for me, but Ella is the expert here! White StarBlends is specifically what she asked for, and who am I to argue with expert knowledge? For those interested in expanding their face painting kit, you can find more about her other face painting supplies here. Unique and niche interest items like this make for thoughtful girl Christmas gifts.
Workout Leggings and Socks
Nike Workout Leggings Girl Christmas Gift for Active Teens
Ella has been joining my gym classes this fall, which is such a fun way for us to connect. Since she only has workout shorts, Workout Leggings are a practical and timely gift for the winter months. To complete the set, I’ve also included these highly-rated Workout Socks. Activewear is always a great choice for practical girl Christmas gifts.
Christmas Gifts for Tween Girls (Age 12)
Ani, at 12, is entering the tween years, a phase where interests are blossoming and independence is growing. Her gifts this year balance creative exploration with her newfound hobbies.
Carving Kit and Wood Blocks
Carving Kit was a reader recommendation for tween boys, but I instantly knew Ani would adore it. She’s always drawn to hands-on projects, and this fits perfectly with her interests. To go with the kit, I also picked up a set of wood blocks to get her started right away. Experiences and craft-based items are wonderful girl Christmas gifts for this age group.
Kindle Remote Page Turner
Kindle Remote Page Turner Girl Christmas Gift for Book Lovers
A Remote Page Turner was directly on Ani’s Christmas wish list! For a bookworm like her, this is a thoughtful and practical gift, allowing for comfortable reading in any position. Plus, it was time for a Kindle upgrade – she’s been using the same basic blue case for ages, so a new case is also under the tree. Tech accessories can be surprisingly appreciated girl Christmas gifts.
Raycon Earbuds
Following in my footsteps, Ani also requested Raycon Earbuds. I use mine constantly and can attest to their quality and convenience. Knowing she’ll love them too made this an easy yes. Sharing favorite brands and items makes for relatable girl Christmas gifts.
Latch Kit
Latch Kit Swan Design Girl Christmas Gift for Crafts
The Latch Kit made it onto Ani’s wish list not once, but twice! That’s a clear sign of enthusiasm. I chose the Swan design because it looked detailed and challenging, perfect for keeping her engaged. Craft kits are always engaging and popular girl Christmas gifts.
Pickleball Bag
Pickleball has become Ani’s new passion this fall. She’s been taking lessons and is really enjoying it. We got Ella the same Pickleball Bag last year and it’s been fantastic, so Ani is getting her own in a different color to keep her gear organized. Gifts that encourage hobbies and activities are excellent girl Christmas gifts.
Christmas Gifts for Kids Approaching Double Digits (Almost 10)
Star, almost 10, is still very much a kid, but with growing interests and a love for hands-on activities. Her gifts reflect her playful spirit and developing skills.
Kids Tool Set
Kids Tool Set Real Tools Girl Christmas Gift for Building
Star spent a lot of time this summer working on little wood projects with Tally – sanding, nailing, and cutting. This Tool Set is designed for kids but includes real, functional tools, not just toys. I think she’ll be thrilled to have her own set. Practical and skill-building items are fantastic girl Christmas gifts.
Krispy Kreme Stuffy
Krispy Kreme Stuffy – stuffed animals are always a hit with Star. She’s loved them her whole life, and it wouldn’t feel like Christmas without a new cuddly friend for her. Remembering their childhood joys makes for heartwarming girl Christmas gifts.
Hammock
Hammock for Outdoor Fun Girl Christmas Gift
The girls’ cousins have hammocks, and our kids are always drawn to them. Having their own Hammock will be perfect for backyard relaxation and fun. Outdoor toys and leisure items are great girl Christmas gifts for active kids.
American Doll Car
Continuing the tradition of imaginative play, an American Doll Car is on the list for Star. It warms my heart to see my girls playing with their American Girl dolls just like my sisters and I did growing up. Nostalgic and classic toys remain cherished girl Christmas gifts.
Instax Camera Film
For her 9th birthday, we gifted Star an Instax camera, and it’s been a huge hit. Instax Camera Film was on her Christmas list, ensuring she can continue capturing memories. Consumable gifts that support existing hobbies are thoughtful girl Christmas gifts.
Christmas Gifts for Little Girls (Almost 8)
Tally, nearly 8, is still our youngest and has a sweet and cozy personality. Her gifts are all about comfort, creativity, and a touch of fun.
Beddy’s Blanket
Beddy’s Blanket – Tally is a blanket enthusiast! This year she specifically requested a “light, not heavy blanket.” Our on-the-go blanket from Beddy’s (makers of our beloved zipper bedding) is perfect – cozy but not too warm. Comfort items are always appreciated girl Christmas gifts, especially for younger children. (My Beddy’s affiliate code is JANSSEN).
Bunny Night Light
Bunny Night Light Cute and Practical Girl Christmas Gift
A Bunny Night Light was a surprise request on Tally’s wish list this year, but it was too adorable to resist, especially at under $15. Practical and cute items are always good girl Christmas gifts.
Baking Kit
Tally has been showing more interest in cooking and baking lately. A Baking Kit, specifically a cinnamon roll one, seems like a perfect fit. Plus, we’ll all benefit from the delicious outcome! Activity-based kits are fun and engaging girl Christmas gifts.
Squishmallow
Squishmallow Plush Toy Popular Girl Christmas Gift
Squishmallows – I may not fully understand the craze, but their appeal to my kids is undeniable. When we gifted Squishmallows a couple of years ago, the joy was immense. So, back for more since it was on Tally’s list. Trendy and popular toys make exciting girl Christmas gifts.
Hammock (Companion)
And just like Star, Tally will also receive a Hammock! We thought it would be fun for them to have matching hammocks for outdoor adventures. Plus, these hammocks are budget-friendly and well-reviewed. Matching gifts can be sweet and fun girl Christmas gifts for siblings.
Family Christmas Gifts
Beyond individual presents, family gifts are a wonderful way to create shared experiences and joy. These are our family gift choices for this year.
Universal Yums Subscription
Universal Yums Family Christmas Gift Snack Subscription Box
I’ve been hearing about Universal Yums Subscription for years, and this year felt right to try it out as a family. Each month, we’ll receive a box of snacks, information, games, and trivia from different countries. I anticipate this being a fun and educational experience for everyone (perhaps a little bit for me too!). Experiences and subscriptions are fantastic family Christmas gifts.
Mini Trampoline
Our outdoor trampoline is a spring, summer, and fall staple. A Mini Trampoline for indoors will be perfect for winter energy release and fun. Active family gifts are great for year-round enjoyment as girl Christmas gifts.
Musical Boxing
Musical Boxing Family Activity Girl Christmas Gift
We’ve discussed getting a boxing setup for years. This Musical Boxing system, which syncs to music and mounts on the wall, seems ideal – space-saving and engaging. I think this will be a hit with both the kids and the adults! Interactive and active games are wonderful family Christmas gifts.
Stocking Stuffers for Girls
Stocking stuffers are all about small, fun, and delightful surprises. Here’s what we’re filling our girls’ stockings with this year.
Luggage Tags
Luggage Tags – seemingly simple, but I think personalized luggage tags will be a fun and practical touch for our travels. Personalized items are thoughtful stocking stuffer girl Christmas gifts.
Travel Jewelry Boxes
Travel Jewelry Boxes Stocking Stuffer Girl Christmas Gift
Travel Jewelry Boxes are useful both for travel and home organization. Having a designated spot for jewelry will be a welcome addition for the girls. Practical and organizational items are useful stocking stuffer girl Christmas gifts.

Paper Airplane Pads were wildly popular in this year’s $5 gift guide. They’re fun and perfect for creative play. Fun and affordable items are ideal stocking stuffer girl Christmas gifts.

Magnifying Glasses – my girls have been fascinated with magnifying glasses this year, so these 30x ones with LED lights will be a stocking stuffer hit for exploration and discovery. Small educational toys are great stocking stuffer girl Christmas gifts.
Nail Polish
I couldn’t resist the new metallics collection from Olive & June and got one for each girl’s stocking. Plus, everything on their site is currently 25% off with code 25OFF – a great deal! Beauty and fashion items are always fun stocking stuffer girl Christmas gifts.
Sharpie Sets

Sharpie Sets – art supplies are always a win. I picked up a few sets to mix and match for their stockings. Art supplies are classic and appreciated stocking stuffer girl Christmas gifts.

Earrings
Earrings for Pierced Ears Stocking Stuffer Girl Christmas Gift
Earrings for Ella, since she’s the only one with pierced ears. She loves Hey June screwback earrings because they’re comfortable and don’t irritate her ears. (My affiliate code is JANSSEN). Jewelry is a special stocking stuffer girl Christmas gift, especially for older girls.
Candy
Candy – it wouldn’t be Christmas without some treats! Peppermint bark and Ghirardelli’s chocolate are always requested. Classic holiday treats are essential stocking stuffer girl Christmas gifts.
