Princess parties, discos, dress ups and pool parties are all part of celebrating birthdays while in primary school.
Here are some options for gift buying that will keep everyone happy, especially the birthday girl.
1. Fashion Jewellery
Girls of any age love playing with jewellery. Pick a colour and buy some pieces which are bold, colourful and funky for your birthday girl. Fashion jewellery stores are always having great sales so keep your eyes out.
2. Pyjamas
All girls love having sleepovers. Staying awake as long as possible, eating lollies and talking till you can’t keep your eyes open any longer. A cute sleepwear gift will make sleepovers more exciting!
3. Skipping Rope
Encourage exercise and enjoyment of sport with a skipping rope. The colorful rope on this one will make it all more fun!
4. Cute Cookie Cutters
There’s not much better than freshly cooked warm muffins or cookies straight out of the oven. Put together a kit for your birthday girl so she can enjoy the joy of baking! These heart cookie cutters will be a great start!
5. Books
There are few things better than curling up with a good book, so speak to the school librarian and find out what is popular for girls at the moment. Your child will know what their friend loves to read so buy her a book, a block of chocolate and wrap it up in pretty wrapping paper.
6. Beach Towel
Whether she’s 6 or 12, she’ll love the fun of having her own beach towel.
This cute owl beach towel comes with its own matching bag!
7. Pet Fish
Before buying a pet, check with the birthday child’s parents first but a couple of fish in a small tank are a fun gift idea. You could put money in together with another family and set the fish bowl up with coloured pebbles and a little statue inside the tank.
8. Jewellery-Making Kit
As well as the end result being fun bling to wear, jewellery-making kits are good for creativity and there is a sense of pride in wearing your own creations.
9. Knitting Supplies
A set of knitting needles and a few balls of wool will provide hours of enjoyment for a young girl. If they don’t already know how to knit, offer to teach her yourself, find out if her mum/grandma can teach her, or point her in the right direction of some YouTube videos on the basics of knitting. The satisfaction of making her first scarf will be great.
10. Manicure Set
It’s amazing how from such a young age, girls love having a manicure and pretty painted nails. So either buy a manicure set off the shelf or put together a little bag with a few bottles of nail polish, a nail file and one of those ‘toe separators’ so she can give herself or a friend a pedicure as well.
