Age 9 is a pivotal time in a young girls life, where she goes from having fleeting interest in a variety of topics to be more 'into' certain toys, brands and designs. It is also the time when girls many young girls are close to the beginning of puberty, so their tastes start to change and mature. Girls of this age are also starting to become a little less interested in toys, although may will still be into dolls and stuffed animals, and more interested in games and topics that appeal to older kids, like board games or challenging craft projects. Gift giving at this time can be a little more difficult as the 9 year old girls taste are likely more specific than before, however, you also have the added bonus of having a wider selection of not only toys, but clothes, board games, craft gifts, jewellery, bath and beauty products, cute room décor, and cool gifts that revolve around technology, cool gadgets and STEM learning products.
The easiest way to choose the perfect gift that will appeal to most 9 year old girls is to take a minute and think about what the child is actually interested in - what is their passion. Many girls at age 9 are still into sports and love spending time outdoors, so outdoor toys would clearly be the best gift idea. Other girls may love reading books, playing a board game and card games, therefore, it is likely some old school gifts would resonate best. Alternatively, she may also be really creative, loves art and craft and getting her hands-on anything that she can make or create. The best gift ideas will always come from taking a moment to think, or ask their parent, about what they love to do. Below we've come up with some cool gift ideas that will be sure to please any 9 year old.
This age is where kids start to develop the interests and hobbies that they can carry through to the rest of their lives.
