Joph Jr. has a party this weekend and we have no idea what to get this lil girl. I see the usual Bratz and Barbies, but I haven't the foggiest what she likes...

Girls that age often like making necklaces, bracelets,etc. and often you can find a beading/charms kit for kids. I don't have an eight year old girl myself, but I have children of friends/family who are that age and they love that stuff.

My daughter is turning 8 next year. She wants a make up set, hair stuff, jewelry. She's my girlie girl! Smiley: grin

Get a cosmetic case and fill it with the drug store makeup sets. And get some of the perfumes she can spray.

Don't go for the makeup kit, since alot of parents frown on that (that would include the plastic nails w/ superglue kit.)

If you don't fancy gift cards, just about anything from Hello Kitty should do the trick.

That's a fun idea, but make sure it's cool with the parents. Some of my friends when I was a little girl got gifts of makeup and perfume that were immediately taken away from them by parents that didn't think kids should be wearing make up and perfume.

It was for play time for my daughter. Of course her face got washed after it was all done.

Hubby hates the fact that she likes make up. But I've told him that when she hits 13, I'll just take her to a makeup artist so she can teacher her how makeup can be applied without looking like a whorish clown.

Want a quick way to get her to avoid make up? Show her this.

most 8 yr olds may think thats HOW you put on makeup Exo.

Whatever you get her, it's got to be better than the list of things my 10yr old goddaughter ask for on her Chistmas list.

iPod, PSP, Playstation 3, XBox 360...

Actually, play makeup was my first thought since that was what I wanted at that age, but Joph requested I not get that even before I started brainstorming.

Then she'll reapply it like a whorish clown to fit in with her peer group.

Anyway, I'd go with colored pencil set. Can't go wrong with colored pencil sets I allways say.

'Cause we're looking to buy one. Make sure she knows how to scrub toilets.

I have a ballerina jewelry box somewhere. I made a false bottom in it to hide my birth control in when I was a teenager. Good choice.

Silly. If I were looking in earnest, that post would be in Malay.

Good for you. My father *still* pretends that I only had sex the one time.

Smiley: schooled"Immaculate conception" refers to the Catholic doctrine that Mary was conceived and born without Original Sin so she may be a fitting host for the Christ. The event in which Jesus was divinely formed in Mary's womb was the Annunciation

The jewelry box is a good idea, maybe with a bracelet or necklace to start her collection.

Otherwise I'd go with the arts and/or crafts sets. Beads or colored pencils, and of course a neat box to store them in.

I would have been all into books at that age, but without knowing her, those are safe bets.
