Gift ideas to avoid: 

What should you avoid giving a 2-4 year old girl? We recommend avoiding talking dolls. While fun for a while, they can become annoying in a few short days. Parents often regret buying them.

What should you avoid giving a 5 to 7 year old girl? Girls between 6 and 8 grow quickly, so we suggest avoiding higher priced clothes if you want a lasting gift. But a low-cost summer dress could be appropriate.

What should you avoid giving a 8 to 10 year old girl? We recommend staying away from makeup and clothing. Let her discover her own preferences in these areas as she matures.

What should you avoid giving a 11 to 13 year old girl? Almost a teenager, be sensitive to things she’s in the process of out-growing such as princess gear and Barbie dolls. Additionally, girls this age like to pick out their own school clothes. Don’t embarrass her with something she’ll never wear.
