Finding the Perfect Gifts for your Daughter [Ages 2 to 50+]
When trying to find the perfect gift for someone you can end up putting a lot of pressure on yourself, especially if it’s for something special like a birthday, event, or holiday. We may not realize this as kids but giving a gift is almost, if not better, than receiving one, so of course we want to find the best there is out there to get the best reaction(s). What’s even better is getting a gift for someone you love more than anything in the world and that’s your daughter.
We wanted to find the perfect gift for daughters at multiple ages, so we put together a guide of gifts for her from ages 2 to 50+. We’ll start out with taking a look at things we think kids from ages 2 to 4 will love, then 5 to 7, then 8 to 10, and so on till we end up in the 50+ range; because no matter how old she gets, she will always deserve the very best.
The Perfect Gift for Daughters, AGES: 2-4 🖍️
First up we’re taking a look at two gifts that are great for that “toddler” age range, just when they’re discovering the world around them, how things work, and what they enjoy.
The “Push and Pop” Bulldozer
Lots of hours of fun to be had collecting and scooping these plastic balls back up! Image courtesy of: Target.
You may recognize the name VTech from your own younger days or this isn’t your first rodeo shopping for kids, either way you know the company well enough that their products are well worth their weight in salt. Introducing families to a whole load of fun and exciting toys, the VTech Pop-a-Balls Push and Pop Bulldozer for $29.99 at Target is no different.
She will get to put all four plastic balls inside the top and as she pushes the bulldozer down the hall they will delightfully pop out where she can “clean” them up after and re-start the whole process. It keeps her active and is stimulating enough to keep her attention. The sides of the bulldozer have interactive buttons where they can learn about colors, numbers, different phrases, and music.
A 3 in 1 Easel
She can flex her creative muscles on whatever canvas she wants! Image courtesy of: Cost Way.
When we were making this list, we wanted to include things that we’d personally get excited about if we were a kid receiving this on our birthday or on Christmas day, and this 3-in-1 Double-Sided Storage Art Easel on sale for $59.00 (normally priced at $121.00) from Cost Way is one such gift we’d be jumping for joy over.
At this age all we want to do is let our imaginations run free and the easiest way to do that is through drawing and painting--but having the limits of an eight by eleven piece of paper can get tiring. That’s why we love this 3 in 1 easel because they have a much bigger area to work with and can pick how they create. It has a built-in blackboard great for chalk drawings, a magnetic whiteboard, and a roll of paper at the top she can pull down and use. It’s stable and built with an adjustable height so she can use it as she grows.
The Perfect Gift for Daughters, AGES: 5-7 🔮
The next two toys are for those kids who are really starting to form who they are, they’re in school proper now, and are learning about what they love to do.
Squishmallows
The super-popular pillow and toy is a perfect gift for your daughter. Image courtesy of: Jazwares.
If you were to go to any parent right now and ask them what their 5 to 7 year old wants, there’s a pretty good chance that the word “squishmallow” comes out of their mouth. This popular phenomenon began a few years ago and hasn’t lost steam yet. They are small-to-medium sized soft cushiony pillow toys that have captured the hearts of young (and older) hearts.
Here we have the 8-Inch Select Series Caedyn the Strawberry Milk Scented Cow which is only sold online for $9.99 (normally priced at $14.99) and will make for the “bestest gift evarrr.” There are loads more available both online and in-stores nationwide so you can pick one you think she will like best or go with our choice.
Friendship Bracelet Kit
She can make one for herself and the whole family! Image courtesy of: Walmart.
Friendship bracelets are something that has stood the test of time and we love how they’ve become more popular again in recent years so it makes sense that we’d jump on the train and get in with this Just My Style Unicorn Friendship Bracelet Making Kit from Walmart for $10.97 (when purchased online). Unicorns are super beloved by young girls and with this kit she will be able to make her bracelets in the style of her favorite mythical creature. There’s beads, letters, string, and more, so go ahead and clear off a table, she’s got a lot of work to do.
The Perfect Gift for Daughters, AGES: 8-10 🚲
We’re not there yet but we’re getting closer to pre-teen age but before we go into that, here’s two gifts we love for 8 to 10 year olds:
LEGOs
Assemble and then re-assemble the kit however she likes. Image courtesy of: LEGO.
LEGOs are a staple here at PerfectGift, we absolutely love this as a gift option because they have kits for all ages. Here we have their Sea Animals 3-in-1 Kit for $29.99 which is actually retiring soon! This means you can get her a kit that will no longer be on the market and will be special to her. Mix and match three different designs of sea life all while getting obsessed with one of the world’s biggest toy franchises.
Razor Scooter
Grab your helmet and zip around the neighborhood! Image courtesy of: Razor.
Getting your first bike, skateboard, or in this case the Razor A Model Scooter for $44.99 is a feeling like none other. You get the first real feelings of freedom and speed- (all while being protected with a helmet and elbow/knee pads of course). The A Scooter is recommended for ages 5+ so already she’s ready to go and there’s six colors to choose from, so pick her fav and get ready to wrap this bad boy up.
The Perfect Gift for Daughters, For: Teens 🎧
Now we’re jumping up to teenagers, these gifts will surely be hit for her as she slowly starts to grow up.
Apple AirPods
These are arguably one of the best headphones out there. Image courtesy of: Best Buy.
Apple makes some really good products, lots of people, maybe even you included, will have at least one Apple product in your home, but if you don’t then you can’t go wrong with getting her these Apple AirPods Max (USB-C) from Best Buy for $499.99. It’s a big gift, but it’s one she will cherish and get use out of for years and years. Teens love these headphones for their style, noise-cancelling, long-lasting battery life (20 hours on a full charge and 1.5 hours on a quick ten minute charge), a built-in microphone to answer your calls, and a few other fun features.
A Stainless Steel Waterbottle
Encourage hydration with this famed bottle! Image courtesy of: owala.
Stainless steel waterbottles like the Stanley Cup and now the Owala FreeSip® Water Bottle (24oz) for $29.99 have risen in popularity in recent years. Now it’s cool to sip on these throughout the day, which hey, as parents it’s great to see kids actively hydrating with something they consider to be “cool” to have.
TikTok influencers shout-out this particular bottle for having the FreeSip® spout, triple-layer insulation, and variety of colors to choose from (some that are even limited edition). With twenty-four colors and three size options: 24oz, 32oz, and 40oz, you’ll be able to swing this practical gift off no problem.
The Perfect Gift for Daughters, For: Adults 🎉
It feels like just yesterday you were coloring with her on the dining room table, but now she’s grown. That doesn’t mean you can’t spoil her with gifts still! Here’s what we found:
A Silk Pillowcase
Good for sleep and your health! Image courtesy of: Quince.
Good sleep can be hard to come by, especially as we get older. Anxieties and everyday worries fill our heads making it harder to sleep, but we can certainly help getting comfortable for bed with this 100% Mulberry Silk Pillowcase from Quince on sale for $44.90 (normally priced at $69.00 for traditional retail). Just as the name described, it’s made from 100% mulberry silk which is proven to help your skin, hair, and restless nights. This pillowcase comes in eighteen different colors and has sizes for a Standard, Queen, and King pillow.
Cocktail Mixers
Bring the party back home and enjoy a delicious drink. Image courtesy of: Williams-Sonoma.
If she likes to drink or favors herself as an amateur mixologist then she will absolutely love these Casamigos x Williams Sonoma Best Selling Cocktail Trio for $65.85. There’s something really fun and relaxing about crafting the perfect drink, especially after a long day. The set comes with three 24 fl. Oz bottles and the flavors are Signature Margarita Mix, Grapefruit Orange Paloma Mix, and Blackberry Basil Smash Mix which will fit the tastes of anyone coming over to enjoy.
