Our daughters are constantly evolving, but one thing is certain – they fill our hearts with pride, joy, love, and inspiration. From newborns to new moms to those who are newly retired, give your daughters all of those unique and special gifts that will inspire each of them to keep growing in a myriad of different ways, no matter where they’re at in life’s journey.
These are the Best Gifts for Daughters we know they’ll absolutely love.
There’s nothing like giving your daughter her first set of real dishes. We all seem to start out our independent lives with hand me downs from our parents, especially dishes. This pretty stoneware set delivers color and vibrancy to her day every time she makes a meal, even if it’s just toast and morning coffee.
This 16-piece set includes four each of dinner and dessert plates, as well as matching mugs and bowls. They’re sophisticated enough for her to invite friends to a meal, and they are dishwasher and microwave safe, so they’re practical as well as pretty. A set of matching silverware would be a great gift to give her on another special occasion.
This sign made me laugh so hard, coffee almost came out of my nose! For every daughter who proclaims in her younger years that she’s not going to be like her mother, this clever box sign is a great gift that will make them think, laugh and love their mom. We also think she’ll love the “I Can’t Say I Love You Enough” box sign. If you’re a dad looking for the right sentiment for your daughter, this sign will melt her heart.
The ancient art of origami, or paper folding, is a fun and creative way for your daughter to express herself while building fine motor skills. This cool kit features enough stuff to make to make 30 different flower projects, along with easy to follow instructions, and lots of sparkling embellishments for her flowers. The 40 page booklet of DIY art project instructions makes this crafty kit suitable for beginners to advanced level folders.
Another fun little origami kit gives your girl enough materials to make ten super cute bookmarks for herself and her friends. It’s a great stocking stuffer.
If your daughter’s the crafty sort who loves to knit and crochet, this beautiful hand-carved knitting bowl makes an impressive and functional gift she’s going to love. The rich tone of the rosewood is only outshined by the pretty carved floral openwork band around the top. This yarn bowl is going to keep her from those frustrating yarn tangles that interrupt her zen needlework time.
At seven inches wide and seven inches deep, this bowl features a curved loop that lets the yarn feed out as she’s using it (and it might keep her cat from attacking it too!) If she often works on more than one project simultaneously, you can also get a set with small, medium and large yarn bowls.
If your daughter’s less traditional and needs a yarn bowl with a little funkier style, there are many to choose from.
Before she learns to play serious baseball, your daughter will likely start playing on a T-ball team. This sweet little glove gives her an experience of the real game while she’s still small. The soft and pliable shell makes it easy to close, and the woven web helps her catch balls coming her way. Lots of padding and a soft inner liner make this cute little glove feel comfy.
These might be her first diamonds as a teen, or the gift that gives her second piercing some sparkle. Either way, these pretty diamond stud earrings are a wardrobe essential for every daughter to have. Elegant and affordable, this pair features 0.25 carats of glittery white diamonds that are set in 14k yellow gold mounts. They are certified conflict-free, and at less than $125, they’re a bargain.
Natural and organic skincare can be a splurge gift for your daughter who might not budget the cash for high-quality products like this lovely starter set from Fleur & Bee. I first discovered this organic skincare company when they reached out to me to try some of their products. The results? Fantastic! In fact, when your package arrives, it feels exactly like a present should, including the special wrapping!
This skincare starter set includes five items to give your daughter a full beauty regimen with products that work in harmony to give her glowing skin that feels as good as it looks. So Clean! facial cleanser gives her that squeaky clean feeling with no dryness or skin irritation. Rose and Shine rosewater toner gently removes any last traces of makeup and soothes and calms her skin. Nectar of the C Serum is a rejuvenating formula that has become a favorite with my daughters who regularly request it as a gift choice.
Then there are the luscious Fleur & Bee moisturizers – Eyes Eyes Baby is the perfect way to keep fine lines and wrinkles at bay, while Crème de la Cream is a lightweight all-over face moisturizer that never feels greasy or heavy under makeup. This five-piece set will delight your daughter as these products are packed with botanical ingredients that have been responsibly sourced. Better yet? This company donates 1% of its sales to distribute menstrual hygiene supplies to girls in need, and we can definitely get behind that!
It’s never too early for your daughter to make her stand in an up and coming generation of girls. This cute baby onesie does so, loudly and proudly proclaiming “We can do it” above the image of Rosie the Riveter. Made of super-soft cotton, it features notched shoulders for dressing her without a struggle, and a snap crotch for quick and easy diaper changes.
The “warrior princess” onesie says your girl can become whatever she dreams, from the president to a doctor or astronaut. Get it in sizes from 0 – 9months. With the Justice League five-pack of onesies, you can clad your baby daughter daily in superhero garb, including Wonderwoman, Batgirl, and Supergirl. Cool.
According to Romper, it’s never too early to teach your kids about feminism. The impact it can have on your daughters and sons can be dramatic.
There’s no question why yoga has become one of the most popular movements in fitness. If you’d like to introduce your daughter to this mindful experience and help her take some time for herself, this yoga set is a lovely gift to get her started. It has all the essentials. The BetterGrip Yoga Mat has double-sided textured surfaces to give her a non-slip surface upon which to stretch and because it’s extra-thick, it’s perfect for beginners.
This set also includes two durable foam blocks for proper positioning and support, an eight-foot cotton yoga strap to increase flexibility and prevent injury, microfiber yoga hand and mat towels for a slip-free and sweat-free workout, and a carrying bag to make getting all these items to and from the studio a breeze.
If she suffers from intense muscle tension or soreness, a vibrating foam roller is another great gift idea for her.
Your daughter can forget that Michelin man look that is often the bain of a good puffer jacket, because this cute down coat from Spyder is fitted, flattering and so warm and cozy. I know, because I got a sample jacket to try out, and it’s so adorable. This jacket kicks those cold spots to the curb, with engineered baffled construction to support its 600 fill synthetic down interior.
A fixed hood keeps the wind from breathing down her neck, and a shiny METALUX zipper brings some serious attitude to this winter essential. The longer length keeps her from having a freezing bum, but the best part? The stretch waistband that makes this coat flexible, comfortable, and body-hugging without bulk.
That means your arms don’t feel like they’re sticking out at an odd angle, and you actually still look like you have a real waist. Get it in white, black or two cute color combos. If your daughter’s a serious skiier, the Spyder Rhapsody Gore-tex Ski Jacket keeps cold and dampness out, and warmth in.
Is your daughter a new mom? Does she worry about leaving her baby in daycare or with a nanny? This smart baby monitor is the coolest. The baby monitor picks up voices and captures every moment of your baby while the monitor offers a clearer real-time video and audio.
Besides, the infrared night vision and zoom functions, it ensures a vivid display of the baby’s sleeping habits at night along with lots of other important details. The two-way talk function also lets them interact with their baby from another room giving them time to get to the crib before the baby gets fussy.
Every parent can use all the helpful devices available with a new baby to care for and love.
If your daughter has a green thumb but she’s often thwarted by late springs and early frosts, a greenhouse kit like this one from Palram can guarantee her gardening success. This clever backyard greenhouse features virtually unbreakable 4 mm twin-wall polycarbonate roof panels that block up to 99.9% of UV rays and diffuse sun light eliminating the risk of plant burn and shade areas. The polycarbonate walls allow 90% light transmission for incredible plant growth.
With 24 square feet of growing space, this little greenhouse is ideal for someone with a small family as it’s got enough room for plants as well as starting flowers for the landscape. It has a rust-resistant aluminum frame that’s sturdy and well built. Other amenities include a roof vent, rain gutters, and a locking door.
If this is a little heavy from a budget standpoint, consider a small walk-in greenhouse that offers a roll-up door like this one from Ohuhu. While it’s not a four-season solution, it’s an ideal starter greenhouse that’s a good fit for a smaller yard. We have a long list of greenhouse kit recommendations from patio size, to huge, that you might also want to peruse before choosing.
These fun floral aprons are a perfect gift for your daughter with a daughter. With double layer fabric, these 100 percent cotton aprons are machine washable, which makes them an excellent choice for kitchen adventures. Adjustable ties at the neck and waist give them a custom fit for each wearer. We also think your girls will like the cupcake patterned aprons and these cheery sprinkles aprons.
Beautiful skin doesn’t come easy for everyone, but your daughter will see noticeably improved skin if you give her this facial cleansing brush as a gift. It comes with a convenient charging stand, so it takes up very little room on the vanity. With three speeds, this sonic cleansing device can be used for every skin type to remove oil, dirt, and makeup. Plus, let’s be honest, who wouldn’t want to use this cutie? That’s part of the fun.
With a simple press of the button, she can choose from three speeds depending on how aggressive she wants to cleanse. The buffed bristle tips are gentle enough for every daughter. She can use it with her favorite face washes, or if you want to splurge, you can get her an organic and natural face wash right here.
There are lots of different types of facial cleansing brushes so do take time to check out our recommendations while you’re shopping.
This smart garden from Click and Grow is an ideal gift for daughters of every age, especially if their space is limited. It features a stylish Scandinavian design and can accommodate all sorts of herbs, lettuces, and even strawberries. The kit comes with three plant pods to get you growing right away, but you can get lots of pods with your preferred veggie or herb choices. You can choose from exterior colors in grey, black or white.
This smart garden is completely hassle and maintenance-free. All she’ll need to is place the pods in their holders, fill the water reservoir, and plug the garden in. Her plants will start growing automatically. After she’s harvested her lettuce, tomatoes, or basil she can choose from over 40 pre-made pods, or experiment with growing from her own selection of seeds.
This garden also comes with a growth guarantee – If your seeds do not germinate from their proprietary pods, they will replace the pods for free. There are many indoor hydroponic gardens for growers of every age from small kids, to well, the rest of us.
My daughters are always asking for cookbooks as gifts, and in this one, Joanna Gaines, the popular star of Fixer Upper, delivers her favorite recipes for gatherings of family and friends. In her warm southern style, she shares family favorites and classic comfort foods from their restaurant in Waco, Texas, Magnolia Table. Her newest book, Homebody, can help your daughter create beautiful spaces in her home.
When you’re shopping for gifts for daughters who are eco-conscious, the Nixon Hauler backpack is a cool choice that she’ll feel great about using and you can feel good about buying. When we first received this pack to test out, we were seriously impressed by the fact that it’s made from Nixon’s proprietary REPREVE Our Ocean recycled plastics, so this backpack helps to preserve the environment as well as being a great school and work-worthy pack for her laptop, books, and more.
This pack has a huge interior and a 280 degree zipper that allows you to open up the entire storage space. Inside, it features tons of interior pockets including a padded laptop storage sleeve. The adjustable shoulder straps are super cushy, making for comfortable wear on hikes, and the back is stiff without being hard, which makes the adjustable skateboard straps totally usable for the girl who wants to pack her board everywhere.
But despite the functionality and cool features of this backpack, our favorite thing is the fact that it’s made with recycled ocean plastic which means cleaner water and better ocean health for the planet, and ultimately all of us, which will likely resonate with your daughter on many levels. Looking for more eco-friendly gifts? We have a long list of recommendations.
Does your daughter have a farm style kitchen? This vintage ceramic Mason jar measuring cup set is the cutest addition to her kitchen collection. It features four cup sizes to accurately cook and bake, plus they’re so cute they’ll enhance her counter and stovetop. Matched measuring spoons are a fun addition to her set, and also get her a matching sink sponge holder as well. Many of these items come in pink, pale blue, and white.
When your daughter is little, you want her to learn the basics of balance and coordination before she graduates to climbing on real rocks and boulders. These cool stepping stones let her master those skills in the house or the yard, without the dangers of added height being involved. Each side of the stones varies in steepness and difficulty, and with a rubber rim, they won’t slip as she climbs them, jumps between them, and makes the most of them. They’re super simple to store because they’re stacking. This set comes with six stones, three large and three small.
Add to her balance challenge with these taller stepping stones. Six stones at three different heights can keep her occupied and having fun while skill-building.
Have you been thinking of getting an Instant Pot for yourself or as a special last minute gift for your daughter? The Instant Pot smart pressure cooker is currently at a ridiculously great price, and still available for shipping in time for the holiday.

Daughters love to keep their memories close and hand, and this fun photo collage makes it easy. It hangs on two wooden rails with five little twine strands draped across from which she can hang her favorite photos with tiny clothes pin clips. This is so versatile, and makes it simple to change out photos frequently without messing with bulky frames and glass. It’s not surprising it’s a #1 best seller, because it’s cute, quaint and kinda quirky.
With more of us working out at home, the Stack 52 Workout Game is super healthy for both your daughter and her entire family. This fun game quickly creates a workout you can do anywhere at any time. Workouts typically last between 4 – 20 minutes. She can use each of the 52 cards along with videos showing exactly how to perform the exercises and improve cardiovascular health as well as muscle strength.
This cool game is a self-challenge that allows her to choose and build her workout times and intensities. A fun family fitness option developed by a military fitness expert, this lets your daughter get everyone in the house to exercise under the guise of a game. Genius.
If this game seems a little too intense for your daughter, consider the fitness and meditative benefits of yoga and instead get her the Stack 52 Yoga Workout Cards.
This cool kit lets your daughter write, illustrate and publish her own story. The book making kit features a new writing guide, “Just Imagine…A Guide to Writing and Illustrating Your Story” which includes instructions and useful information that guides your girl as she creates her first best-seller. Once she’s finished, she’ll have her own full-color, 20 page, professionally printed hardcover book, that even features her personal author profile on the back cover.

Another fun idea for your daughter is the Harry Potter: Collectible Quidditch Set. Also in a collectible case, it contains one quaffle, two bludgers and one non-removable snitch. The Harry Potter Sorcerer’s Stone is another fun collectible, and this replica has been officially authorized by Warner Brothers Studios.

This beautiful 53-piece set from Pfaltzgraff is so unique, with a polished and brushed stainless design on the handles and highly polished utensil ends. Even though it looks like fine flatware, it’s dishwasher safe, so cleanup up is easy.
We love that this set comes with a nice set of serving utensils to go with it, including a large serving spoon, pierced serving spoon, cold meat fork, sugar spoon and butter knife. This service for eight also comes with steak knives, so she literally gets everything she needs to set a beautiful table.
If you’re shopping on a budget, or your daughter just needs place settings for four, this stainless steel silverware set has a cool and funky design and it’s less than $20.
Does your daughter like to jog, hike or bike? This nifty hydration belt is the coolest. Ergonomically designed, this soft belt offers multi-directional stretch that eliminates bounce. Two SpeedFit holsters provide easy, one-handed, on-the-fly access to the two hydration bottles, which have easy to drink from pop up caps.
The front pocket is big enough to stash gels, sports bars and her phone and keys. While the reflective trims make it easier to see her in the dark, we also think she’d really appreciate the Nathan Light Bender LED arm bands. We’ve tried them and they’re terrific for creating visibility for both her, and any oncoming cars or pedestrians. For more visibility behind her, the clip on Nathan strobe light guarantees she’ll be seen by traffic.
The mid century modern design aesthetic is seriously popular these days, and if your daughter is nuts about that style, this white rope bistro set is ideal for her porch, patio, or deck.

If you’re buying for your younger daughters, these Sky Organics Bath Bombs are made especially for kids, and every box sneaks in some cute little surprise gifts along with the fun bath fizzies.
There’s no dispute about the fact that the teen years are tough, and it’s often the time when our daughters are less likely to ask for or willingly receive the advice of their parents. That’s what makes Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul one of our favorite gifts for daughters. With short stories that will make her laugh and cry, this little tome could be a constant companion that gets her through difficult times with hope and the belief that things will turn out alright.
Don’t let the title scare you off, because this book is all about happiness, resilience and living a good life, and who wouldn’t want to give their precious daughter those skills? According to the author, gender defining blogger Mark Manson, “Once we embrace our fears, faults, and uncertainties, once we stop running and avoiding, and start confronting painful truths, we can begin to find the courage, perseverance, honesty, responsibility, curiosity, and forgiveness we seek.” Great advice for daughters and all the rest of us too.
Whether your daughter has just moved into her dorm, or you want to give her a gift that makes cleaning stairs, ledges or even her car a whole lot simpler, this cordless hand vac is a dream. It’s ultra-lightweight and the tapered nozzle for makes for easy pickup of large debris and fine dust.
It can zero in on tight spaces with the duster crevice tool and multi-surface tool tackles upholstery, carpets, and pet hair like a champ. We also think she’ll love the one button dust bin dump function, which means she’ll keep her hands clean while emptying the dirt. The charging station means it’s revved up and ready whenever she’s in the mood to clean.
Ask your daughter what she wants this year, and gifts that help her get organized are often at the top of her list. With the popularity of the KonMarie method of decluttering, this eight cube organizer shelf can help your daughter keep her essentials in order, and give her more peace of mind.
It’s super easy to assemble and comes with everything she’ll need to put it together. She’ll also love the flexibility to stand it upright, or keep it horizontal, which also makes it a great place to display pictures and her favorite books. To give her space a sophisticated look, include some foldable storage baskets like these, or add color to her space with some fabric storage cubes.
Words of love can make the worst day full of sunshine, and this little book gives you the chance to tell your daughter how grateful you are that she’s in your life. With 112 pages of fill in the blank ideas, it’s an especially personal sort of present that will be an irreplaceable treasure for her. Hands down, this is one of our favorite gifts for daughters, and anyone else on your list for whom you’d like to show a little appreciation.
If you just want to make her laugh out loud, get her the It’s Gonna Be Okay notepad, with lots of cute and uplifting thoughts she can check off for now, later and never.
As a daughter and mother of daughters, I can attest to how much we all love to fish. This Shakespeare UglyStick in our favorite all around rod and reel for spin casting, trolling and overall enjoyment. Graphite and fiberglass construction make it lightweight and super sensitive, a great asset for new fishermen as they learn to set the hook after a bit.
The compact ultralight reel is easy to fill with line, and resists snags and knots. Be sure to get your girl a selection of lures so she can get fishing right away. Our family faves include this Mepps Ultralight Kit. It includes the thunder bug, which has nailed more trout that I should even mention, and it’s great for perch and crappie too.
Since you’re going to want your daughter to manage her own tackle, be sure to get her a tackle box that can easily accommodate extra line, swivels and lures. We think the Ready 2 Fish Tackle Box is a total winner.
Does your daughter fight breakouts and blackheads? This Dead Sea mud mask is more than just a fun facial. It does serious work, reaching deep into pores to dissolve and dislodge impurities and make for clearer and cleaner skin. Charcoal is the secret here, because it’s known for its ability to detoxify and purify her skin.
This mask also has detoxifying kaolin clay and aloe vera, which are skin-soothing and purifying agents that will leave her skin refreshed, while calendula oil is naturally antimicrobial. It’s infused with lemon oil to add a dose of antioxidant vitamin C that also brightens dull skin and fights free radical damage from the sun and environment.
This mask is a relaxing and refreshing way to help her have clear and beautiful skin without drying, as natural jojoba oil helps keep her skin from getting too dry.
This is one kitchen essential that will last your daughter a lifetime. The Le Creuset covered baking dish is the classic 9 x 12 inch size that is standard for brownies, cakes, and casseroles of every kind. It can withstand high oven temperatures up to 500 degrees, and the scalloped handles ensure she’ll get a good grip when removing it from the oven. The secure lid keeps foods hot, plus she’ll love the fact that it’s stain and chip resistant as well as dishwasher safe.
If you really wanted to splurge on your daughter, you’d never go wrong getting her a Le Creuset enamel-covered cast iron dutch oven.
As that song says, “girls just wanna have fun,” and it’s guaranteed with this sassy little micro-mini scooter. This cutie will grow with her as the T-bar is adjustable from 17-25 inches from the deck. The wide deck platform makes balancing easy, and the two-wheel front, and single-wheel rear, increase stability and speed.
The smooth-gliding wheels, low-to-the-ground deck, and stable steering all make the Mini perfect for pre-schoolers and kindergartners. What makes this scooter unique is the lean-to-steer design. Girls can learn to steer by using their body weight to lean right and left, intuitively learning to lean into a turn, while developing the balance and coordination used in many sports. So cool.
Just for safety’s sake, a helmet and some knee and elbow pads are always a good addition to this gift.
Your daughter could become a baking legend simply because you gave her this fabulous wooden rolling pin. Embossed with a whimsical pattern of paisley and flowers, this rolling pin imprints that same pretty tapestry right onto dough, making gorgeously detailed cookies, pastries and pies. While it’s not suited for all dough, simple recipes like sugar cookies and shortbread become a thing of beauty.
If you love the idea of embossed dough, check out the rolling pins with holiday themes and even pet themes, oh my.
This cool 22 inch mini-cruiser board is a gift your daughter will love. It delivers a classic surf ride feel, with easy turning and maneuverability. Chrome bearings mean longer rides before replacement, and aluminum alloy trucks let her share it with friends (or a brother) who might be bigger than she is. Gel wheels deliver great traction, and because it’s lightweight, it’s easy to carry.
This board is designed for smooth, fast rides so it’s ready to roll. This one is small enough to easily stow in her backpack, and it comes in a ton of cool colors and graphic decks.
Are you just sending your daughter out in the world? It’s not likely that her first apartment is going to have a dishwasher, but you can keep her from the drudgery of handwashing her dishes with this cool countertop dishwasher from Farberware. Small but mighty, this dishwasher can accommodate up to six place settings of dishes and silverware.
It features seven different washing programs and is super quiet while in operation. In fact, it even has a speed cycle in case unexpected guests arrive (like you!) It even offers a baby care cycle. Because it’s a portable model, it doesn’t use the amount of water a normal dishwasher does, so to keep it pristine and smelling clean, it also has a self-cleaning cycle.
No matter where she goes, your daughter’s safety is always the first priority. These easy to use personal safety alarms can be the key to shocking an attacker, or alert passersby to an emergency situation. One push of a button sounds an ear-piercing 130-140 decibel alarm that will send a criminal running. The alarm can continue for as long as 50 minutes if necessary.
This six-pack gives your girl enough devices to put one in her purse, backpack, locker, and pocket, so she can always keep danger at bay.
If you want your daughter to get out and get moving, a new bicycle is a perfect way to do it. This fat tire freestyle bike from Royalbaby is loaded with safety features to make her early rides fun. A fully enclosed chain guard means her pants won’t get snagged, while safety grips and heavy-duty training wheels give her confidence to ride.
Both coaster and hand breaks will let her smoothly stop, and the fat tires mean she can ride through mud, grass or rocks with ease. Equipped with a water bottle behind the seat, she’ll be ready to ride for hours. With frame sizes up to 20 inches, these bikes are a terrific ride for girls from 3-8 years old.
Beautiful skin doesn’t always come naturally, but helping it with the right products can make a huge difference. Your daughter will love this gift set from InstaNatural that includes two powerful serums to fight wrinkles and brighten dull skin. I’ve been using them since I was sent some samples to try, and I can attest to their power.
This set covers both day and night use. At night, she can use the retinol serum to fight wrinkles, smooth skin, exfoliate, and help fight dark spots and acne. In the morning, the vitamin C serum brightens, adds radiance, and leaves her skin feeling hydrated and firm. The best thing about both is they smell so delicious, kind of like fresh-squeezed orange juice.
The Vitamin C Skin Trio is another great gift idea. It includes three different skin brightening products – a moisturizer, cleanser, and the vitamin C serum, all packaged up in a pretty gift box.
You know how your teenaged daughter doesn’t want to leave the house because she wants to be connected to her devices? This Bluetooth beanie can get her outside, because it keeps her head warm and allows her to listen to her music without having to wear additional headphones. For a hat, it delivers pretty decent sound quality and can pair with her phone, tablet or other devices within 33 feet.
The built-in stereo speaker and microphone on the left earpiece allows her to skip back and forth through a playlist, or answer and hang up calls without having to use her phone. The built-in Li-Ion battery delivers up to six hours of play and talk time, and recharges in about 2.5 hours. It comes in 45 different colors, and is completely washable after removing the headphones.
Whether your daughter is waiting for the school bus, playing in the marching band, or simply playing outside, you want to make sure she stays warm. This rechargeable hand warmer is simple to slip into her pocket and keep her cozy in almost any circumstance. The USB cord can connect with her devices or a wall plug, and when charged it can even act as a power bank for her phone or devices.
Warm on both sides, it heats up in as little as three seconds and has three different heat settings depending on her comfort level. With a button that allows her to check the remaining capacity of her hand warmer, she can turn it off periodically to extend usage. It comes in four colors including black, so you might want to get one for your son as well.
This mesmerizing wind spinner can hang from her patio, porch or outside a bedroom window. Just the tiniest breeze will create movement, turning almost any space into one that’s more relaxing, beautiful and meditative. The beautiful combination of deep red and shimmering copper is eye-catching, and the unique two-piece design causes each piece to rotate in different directions.
Another fun idea to dress up her outdoors is this color changing LED windchime, featuring delicate hummingbirds that light up in the dark.
Snowshoeing is a blast, and any girl (from 5 to 50 and older) with the right equipment can learn to get around in the deepest snow with these awesome Gpeng snowshoes. They’re built to last with lightweight aluminum frames and adjustable kid-friendly ratcheting bindings that make for a custom fit. The metal toe crampon provides consistent solid traction on the snow, and the decking is durable enough for the wear and tear kids and grown girls deliver.
These are very well priced and they come with a convenient carry bag that has a shoulder strap. Since they offer these in adult sizes too, you might want to grab some for yourself and get out there and play with your daughter. As your family graduates to more difficult and challenging snowshoe hikes, these are great because the set also includes trekking poles for added stability.
If you and your daughter get serious about snowshoeing, these Atlas Elektra snowshoes are my go-to pair for rugged winters in N. Idaho.

It’s the clever cat-eye shape, that’s not too catty, which means your lady is going to want these right meow!
Terrific optics add to the mix, and the frames are a purrfect fit as they’re just snug enough her glasses won’t slide down her nose or pinch her head too tightly. I hate to admit it, but they also make a wicked headband, when your daughter’s not needing them for sun protection. You can also get these cuties with blue lenses. Either way, they’re just the right amount of shade without being too dark.

This delightful white sea salt scrub from Spa of Iceland is a delightful way to encourage her to take some “me time” to pamper herself.
This exfoliating scrub will leave her skin glowing, smooth, and smelling delicious. It was one of the first things I snagged right after opening a box of Spa of Iceland samples, because I’m skin obsessed. The white sea salt knocks out those dull, dead, and dry skin cells while actually moisturizing her skin, and the scrubbing will increase blood circulation which means better cell turnover for younger-looking skin.
This scrub also uses sea buckthorn, a vitamin C rich berry that offers antioxidant benefits and helps to boost her skin’s elasticity while reducing inflammation. Spa of Iceland makes a whole host of skin, hair, and bath products as well as candles. They all smell ever so fresh and clean. Our only regret is they don’t have a perfume yet, but our fingers are crossed.

Sometimes you just want to find gifts for your daughter for no specific intent other than to bring beauty into her space, and this stunning handblown art glass vase is the perfect combination of form and function.

This bench features a sliding slatted work surface that opens to reveal a dry sink – a super handy addition for planting starts, creating patio pots, and doing any other messy work.
Dual shelves in the back make space for garden tools, seeds, and more. The work surface stands at the perfect height to avoid stooping and helps to reduce back strain, which is common among gardeners.
Hangers on each of the front legs allow you to keep a garden spade and weeder at the ready, and the lower shelf is perfect for storing bags of soil as well as extra pots.
