Unique Gift Ideas for Girls 2014- Birthday and Christmas Presents

Ideas for Unique Gifts for Girls

Need ideas for unique gifts for girls? Now that my daughters are getting older, they are getting more and more difficult to buy gifts for. They never really wanted to play with toys. They would have much rather played with boxes, old papers and my pots and pans. 

Now that they are 8 and 11 they are not only out of the toy ages, but they also are getting more expensive to buy for. So now I have to start thinking outside the box on what to buy them and to give friends and family ideas for Christmas and birthdays.

The one thing that they do love is jewelry. Rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings... it doesn't matter what type of jewelry it is, they just love wearing it.

When I saw a personalized necklace, I knew it was the perfect gift for my daughters. They love to have items that are personalized however, we can't find anything pre-made with their names spelled the correct way. I guess that's what happens when I try to do things a little different.

Since I have had a difficult time choosing gifts for my girls, I thought others might be having the same problem. I decided to put a list of gift ideas for girls together. I hope these ideas help you to choose the perfect gift!

Make Your Own Necklace 

I am not to crafty however, I know that there are many that have a great talent when it comes to DIY projects. If you have the tools, you could make a personalized necklace similar to the one in the photo. You could add her birthstone or her favorite color stone to it.

Another option is to use a rubber stamp to create your design on your necklace. There are so many different stamps to use. To make it personal you could stamp her favorite sport, animal or initials. That's a great way to make it unique for her.

More Gift Ideas My Daughters Would Love to Receive 

Every year I struggle with what they would like for their birthdays and Christmas. A couple of years ago they decided that they just wanted money for their birthday and that made me think, why not have a shopping day. While this is not a unique gift idea, it is a fun thing to do.

After their birthdays we choose a shopping day just for the two of us. We have lunch and shop at their favorite stores. This is nice because, I get one on one time with them and they pick out the clothes and accessories that they want. They bring their money for other things that they want.

Here are a few more gift ideas:

* My girls love perfume, lotions, body butter and body spray. Anything they can put on to smell good they want it.

* A scrapbook is a great way for her to put all of her photos together. She can be creative while keeping memories of her friends and family. If she only uses a phone or iPod to take pictures, maybe throw in a disposable camera too.

* Craft kits are always on the list at our house. Some of the favorites are jewelry, sun catchers, stamp kits and accessories kits for the hair.

* If you are shopping for a tween or teen a solar backpack may be just what they need. Like most kids these days they have an iPod, cell phone, tablet or laptop. The solar backpack features a solar panel that is used to charge any electronic devices.

Think About Her Personality

I hope that these gift ideas have helped you to find a gift or at least helped to get you thinking. These are just a few gifts that my daughters either loved receiving or would like to receive. If you just think about her hobbies, interests and personality, you will find that there are many unique gifts for girls.
