As Christmas approaches, many of us are swamped with Christmas planning, gift buying and card writing. With the Christmas rush on the horizon, you may find yourself at a loss for gift ideas, especially when it comes to young relatives! While girls, especially younger girls, can be very vocal about their Christmas and birthday lists, these wants aren’t often affordable or even plausible - think pony, trip to Disneyland, etc - so what’s the next best thing? We’ve compiled a list of some of the best gifts to buy for girls aged between 5 and 7 who have a love for dancing!
Hair care gift: to keep all of her accessories safe
Price: £8.45
Is your little recipient getting into her hair care phase? Pampering trinkets can be a hit with young girls just starting to discover the joy of combs, hair clips, and bobbles, whether they’re playing hairdresser for dolls, friends or themselves. What better way to encourage their interests than offer them an adorable hair accessory tin to hold their hair care trinkets? Decorated with ballerinas, this hair accessory tin comes in pink with a zip-up seal to avoid any trapped fingers that might result from a pop down lid. A Rachel Ellen tin is perfect for any young relatives interested in ballet or starting to take dance classes for themselves, decorated with their charismatic and recognisable characters
Their very own bag: to carry all of her bits and bobs
Price: £6.45
At five years old, your young relative will be starting plenty of new activities such as cycling and dance. Going out and about more often means she’ll want to take her own things with her when she goes, and what better way to give her a little extra independence than her own bag? This Giardi cross-body bag is to be worn across the chest and shoulder, making sure that your giftee isn’t carrying too much weight on one shoulder at a young age. Decorated with elegant ballet dancers, your recipient will be able to show off a stylish bag to her friends and carry her phone, tablet or toys with her at the same time.
Colouring Book: for the aspiring young artist
Price: £2.95
Every young girl has picked up a crayon at some point in her childhood and started to draw - either on the paper provided or the walls, floors, and her parent’s clothing. Why not encourage your little artist with a colouring book of ballerinas? This Rachel Ellen colouring book features their range of little ballerina characters waiting to be coloured in, and ready to help your little giftee develop her motor skills while scribbling within the lines.
