Girls Only! Secret Message Lab by SmartLab Toys
Little girls love to have secrets with their friends and now with the Girls Only! Secret Message Lab they can write secret messages to their friends and mom and dad will not be able to read them!
The idea of this set is that your child will write down a super secret message that appears to be invisible. The only way to read this is for their best friend to use a super secret device that will reveal the ink! Of course this is a lot of fun, but this set also teaches your kids about the science behind how this invisible ink works and we think that is really cool.
Two kits are included with this set so your child can have one and give the other to a friend they need to share secret messages with.
Make Clay Charms Craft Kit by Klutz
Girls love to be able to make jewelry and now with this awesome Make Clay Charms Craft Kit your child can have a great time making all kinds of fun things. They can make charm bracelets, hoops, rings and pretty much anything they can think of.
Included with this set are 9 colors of clay and different tools to help them sculpt and shape the clay into all kinds of cool shapes.
One thing your child will find very handy is the guide book that is included with this kit. This 60 page book has all kinds of fun ideas for them to make. Many children have a creative spark and we feel that this set is a great way to encourage that. Parents, grandparents and friends will have lots and lots of awesome clay charms to look forward to for their next birthdays and Christmases.
SYNC-IT Bluetooth Portable Wireless Party Speaker With Multi-Colored LED Light Show
Well you better get used to hearing Justin Bieber and whoever else the kids are listening to these days blasted really loud. That’s because this is the new and improved version of the SYNC-IT Bluetooth Portable Wireless Party Speaker.
SYNC-IT have kicked this speaker up a notch and now it offers incredible sound quality. It is loud and very clear so you will be able to hear it all through the house. The speaker can connect to any Bluetooth device and it even serves as a charger as well.
But the real reason that this speaker is perfect for a nonstop party is that the top of this is a huge light show! There’s a ton of LED lights on this so when your child is getting down, she can have a great lightshow to make her moves even more epic.
Snap Circuits Jr Electronics Discovery Kit by Elenco
When it comes to gifts for 8 year old girls we know that this one may seem a little strange. But we feel that the Snap Circuits Jr Electronics Discovery Kit is something that really would be fantastic for a little lady who has an interest in science.
The idea behind this smart STEM toy is that your child will get to build her very own circuit. They can make an alarm, a little helicopter and over 100 other circuits that can all do cool things. What makes this such a great gift is the fact that this is not just fun, it is also educational. Each piece of the circuit is a different color so your child will be learning about electricity as they play.
We always think learning through playing is great and with over 30 different parts and a good sized circuit board, a girl is going to have a lot of fun with this. One thing to mention is the fact that this requires no soldering or anything like that. They just snap the pieces on and off the board and that is that.
Barbie Careers Game Developer Doll
We can honestly say that we are not exaggerating or over selling when we say that this Barbie Careers Game Developer Doll is one of the most inspirational dolls on the market right now.
Barbie is an all time classic and getting a Barbie doll is like a rite of passage for all girls. What we love about this one from the Barbie Careers line is the way it is a video game developer. More and more girls are playing video games, but not enough are involved in the actual industry. So if you have a girl who loves to play video games then this doll could very well inspire her to want to learn more about how video games are made.
Also this is one really cool Barbie doll. She comes with a headset, tablet, gaming t shirt and a cool set of pants and a jacket! If your child loves Barbie then she will really love this one.
Electronic Drum Kit with Drumsticks & Built-In Learning Tools by Alesis
A real drum kit is one of those things that sounds like a great idea, but then you realize that it takes up a ton of space, costs a lot of money and is very, very loud! However the Electronic Drum Kit with Drumsticks & Built-In Learning Tools by Alesis is the next best thing.
The four drum pads provide as close a sound to real drums as possible. There is also a ton of different sound effects, drum styles and songs that can be used. As a matter of fact there is a number of different things that your child can tinker with here to make a truly epic rock ballad!
One of the things we really like about this electronic drum kit is the way that it can teach your child how to play. It has some really impressive and fun learning tools that make learning how to keep time and a good beat very simple. Oh this also has a headphone jack as well so when you have had enough, you can get them to put in some headphones.
Face Painting Set, 12 Colors, 2 Brushes, 2 Face Tattoos, 3 Face Paint Stencils
Kids love face painting and the Face Painting Set we have here is one of the best. All of the items in this set are child safe and the 12 colors that are included are kept in a really neat little carry case. Actually little is not a good word as this has far more paint than other similar priced face painting kits.
Also included is a couple of easy to clean paint brushes one small and the other quite thick. If that was not enough they also included three stencils and two sets of temporary tattoos!
If you have a creative child then this is something that we can assure you they will really like. Plus the asking price is very reasonable so it would make for a fantastic extra gift.
LEGO Friends Amusement Park Roller Coaster Building Kit
Girls just fell in love with the Lego Friends line and if you ask us the LEGO Friends Amusement Park Roller Coaster Building Kit is one of the coolest sets in the line. This is one of the larger sets with 1124 Lego pieces.
Once assembled the Lego Friends have an awesome amusement park to play in. There’s a roller coaster that can actually be moved around the track, a Ferris wheel and a really fun ride called the Deep Drop Tower! As well as the rides there is an entrance way and all kinds of stalls and places for the friends to get a few bites to eat.
We can see little girls having a lot of fun with this. Making the Lego Friends have fun hanging out at the park and of course the fun of actually building it. As it is quite a big set, you and dad may have to give them a helping hand, but building Lego together is a fun family activity. Included with this set are Naya, Andrea, Emma and Matthew Lego mini figures.
Googly Eyes Game by Goliath Games
There is not enough cool board games these days, but one that we do feel is a lot of fun for the whole family is the Googly Eyes Game.
Think of this as a more extreme version of Pictionary. You do have to draw all kinds of things in this game as you try to make your way to the end of the board so that your team wins. But your skills will be impaired by the Googly Eye Glasses that you have to wear. Not only do you have to wear the glasses, but depending on how you roll, you will have to wear a certain kind of crazy lenses as there are three different lenses in this game. Each one with their own weird and funny effect.
A huge part of the fun is your team trying to guess just what the heck it is you have drawn. If you are looking for a game that is an absolute blast to play and will involve the whole family and a lot of laughter. Then you will struggle to top this!
Party Pop Kick Scooter by Razor
Razor are one of the top brands when it comes to scooters and their Party Pop Kick Scooter is perfect for girls who are round about 8 years old. The strong plastic deck and wheels ensure that they can go pretty fast, but also that the scooter is pretty darn strong and long lasting. This is good if your child is a bit of a daredevil and plans on doing some epic stunts.
Also this scooter has a whole row of epic LED lights that go around the deck. This will make your child look and feel super cool as they are riding down the street.
One thing that makes this an ideal scooter for an 8 year old is the way it is so easy to ride. The steering is very easy to get to grips with and there is a strong brake right on the back. If you are looking for a scooter for your girl, bit do not want to spend a fortune then the Razor should be on your list!

All kids love to draw and we honestly think that this is one of the best art sets out there right now. Any kid would be thrilled to get this as a gift. Just make sure you have a huge stockpile of paper for them!
Angel Girls Bike by Razor
Some bikes for eight year old girls go a bit over the top with trying to be all girly and that can be great. However the Angel Girls Bike by Razor does not do that.
Instead, Razor have gone above and beyond to make this bike look cool. It has a nice pink and white frame that kids are going to really like. If your daughter is a bit of an adventurous child then she will love the stunt pegs that are on the front of the bike. One thing that is very impressive about this bike is the thick and strong steel frame, this sure is a quality bike.
You really can’t go wrong with a bike and like we said if you have a girl who loves a cool stuff then the Razor will be the perfect for them.
Best Friend Max by Secret Life of Pets

If you have a daughter who loved The Secret Life of Pets then this is a toy that they will have a lot of fun with. Max does require three AA batteries, but he comes with them which actually is very rare in this day and age.
