Here they are:

My niece has a pug. When my 1 year old daughter saw the pug, she wouldn’t let go of it! We had to take it home with us and from there on out, my little girl wouldn’t go anywhere without it. We even brought it with us to our vacation in Florida! So while we were down there, we bought one for her so my niece could have hers back.
In short, technically Webkinz are for computer-aged children, but as you can see, my 1 yer old was inseparable with hers. Really, it’s a toy for any age. With Webkinz, your daughter can spend hours on line in a safe environment, using her imagination and playing games. It’s a great gift! And right now, the Reindeer

Gift Cards!
Age Group: 13 and up
What: Gift Cards
If none of the above gift ideas sounded like the right pick for the kid you have in mind, consider getting them a gift card or a gift certificate to their favorite store. Most kids, especially girls, love shopping. It makes them feel grown u and like they have a say about what they buy.
