Every year around the first two weeks of February one might expect to see a surge in chocolate, jewelry and flower sales. Indeed, Valentine's Day appears to resemble a minor scale Christmas as gifts are exchanged and time with loved ones is celebrated. While one focus of the holiday centers around romantic love, Valentine's Day is celebrated by people of all ages. Schools observe an annual tradition of exchanging valentine cards and sharing candy, and this year parents and grandparents can enhance a child's special day with a variety of gift ideas.
It's not common to see displays of Valentine hearts, stuffed animals, and candy as early as the turn of the new year. Seems once Christmas ends, the red and green decorations and snowmen are taken down, and out comes Cupid! This means, of course, that it's not too early to think about a little trinket or token for your favorite little girl - be it your daughter, granddaughter or niece. Here are a few classic favorites and some contemporary suggestions to make her Valentine's Day a great one.
Hello Kitty Gifts - This timeless icon with the innocent face and cute disposition is always a sure thing for the girl who loves being a girl. You'll find Hello Kitty's face on practically anything - makeup kits, dolls, school supplies, and clothing. If you don't have a Sanrio or Hello Kitty boutique near you, try a general store like Target or Wal-Mart in the toy or girls' clothing sections.
American Girl Books - Give the gift of a great story this year. American Girl books provide today's young girls with a glimpse into the past - the struggles and celebrations in times that shaped our nation's history. Your daughter or niece can see the world through the eyes of a girl who lived through the Civil War or Great Depression, and gain an appreciation for different ways of life.
Webkinz - Webkinz stuffed animals are not only cute and cuddly, but they provide young girls with access into a virtual online world. Each Webkinz doll comes with a code to the official site, where "pet" owners can set up rooms for their animal friends and play games to earn money for pet clothes, furniture, and other goodies. Site users can also interact with other Webkinz members, but don't worry if you fear online predators. The Webkinz site keeps members' info secure, and "chats" only allow for pre-determined phrases.
From stuffed toys to icon-emblazoned jewelry, there's no limit to the selection of Valentines gift to give your little girl this year.
