2021 Gossip & Glamour Holiday Gift Picks for Girls

The holiday shopping season is here and there are endless options from local stores that will enchant and delight the little ones in your life. From jewelry to candy, cooking classes, and books, my six-year-old daughter London helped me compile these gift ideas for all the sweet little girls on your list.

Emoji Bracelet from Boma Jewelry

My daughter LOVES this fun emoji bracelet from Boma Jewelry. I love that it’s non-toxic, nickel-free, safe for sustainably made. This bracelet also give back: A portion of the proceeds from every Boma Jewelry purchase benefits the Boma Girl Fund. Boma Jewelry is a Seattle-based brand that recently achieved B Corp Certification.


Hello Kitty Macaron Lip Balm

Stop dry lips in their tracks with this adorable Hello Kitty lip balm from The Crème Shop. Girls will love the fun packaging of this nourishing lip balm that is scented like yummy rainbow sherbet available at K Banana.


Cat Earrings from Boma Jewelry

My husband is allergic to cats, so for now, my daughter celebrates her love of kittens with these adorable cat earrings from Boma Jewelry. Non-toxic, nickel-free, and safe for everyday wear. View more animal-inspired jewelry here.

FrogLegs Cooking Classes for Kids

Give the gift of a kid-friendly culinary experience at FrogLegs Cooking School. All classes are engaging and interactive, plus, they help kids develop a positive attitude toward all types of food. My daughter has done several cooking classes and workshops at FrogLegs and has loved her experience learning how to make new foods each time. The best part of this gift is that the mess happens in someone else's kitchen. FrogLegs founder Laura Vida is a local mom who loves teaching kids how to cook.

Starhug Book

Starhug, by Seattle author Cindy Wong is now available at Nordstrom stores nationwide. The book follows a star and sea star connecting through an emotional journey and centering around the simple power of a hug. This book also has an amazing give-back component. For every book sold, $1 is donated to SMooCH, Seattle Musicians for Children’s Hospital.

Little Star Gift Set

Little ones will be enchanted with the Bunnies By The Bay Little Star Gift Set from Made in Washington featuring a soft, plush bunny and a bedtime board book. The theme of the book is "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Do You Know How Loved You Are?" and is the perfect gift for new arrivals this holiday season.

Paint The Town Pottery-to-Go

Kids who love art will absolutely love Pottery-To-Go Kits from Paint The Town. The kits come with everything kids need to paint a beautiful work of art from home including your choice of ceramics, paint and brushes. Once dry, you simply bring your pottery back to the store for a finishing glaze, and you have a lasting piece of art to cherish for years to come.


Candy from The Confectionery

The running joke in our family is that my husband won me over by leaving candy on my desk each time I would leave for meetings. It's safe to say that I've passed my love of candy on to my kids and there's nothing they savor more than a trip to The Confectionery at University Village. At the shop, you'll find everything from traditional candy to artisanal chocolates, cards, and gifts. The chocolate-covered gummy bears are high on our list of favorites, but we can also be easily swayed by the bags of sour gummies and candy fruits. The Confectionery is independently owned by local mom Kristi Holmes.

Banana Rattle

Flora & Henri has always been one of my favorite destinations to shop for baby gifts in Seattle. In addition to essential knitwear, they also have toys, books, and footwear for mini fashion fans. I love this adorable banana rattle by Meri Meri that makes a colorful and fun gift for little ones.

Leopard Coat

London loves leopard print, so this Tucker & Tate Jacket from Nordstrom is perfect for her! This faux fur jacket with cute ears is fully lined so it will keep your little ones warm and is machine washable making it easy to care for, too.

Emergency Unicorn Sounds


Unicorn sounds make life better and let’s face it, it’s a crazy world out there. This adorable sound machine says things like “You're Amazing”, “Glitter & Rainbows,” “Believe in Unicorns”, and “Come Frolic” to remind little ones to smile when life gets tough. Available in Seattle at Archie McPhee. Batteries included.

Girls Roller Skates

These stylish skates are great for girls because they can be adjusted to 4 different sizes and fit different foot lengths. Plus, the wheels light up, which is a cool feature for skaters of all ages. The price is great, too!



Girls Pom Pom Beanie

This embellished beanie available at Neiman Marcus features a top pom-pom and multiple rhinestones. Little girls will LOVE finding this cute beanie under the tree or in their stocking.
