and I have no idea what to get. I only have boys and until now none have been invited to a birthday party for a girl past the age of 3.
What do girls like? Books? Toys? Crafty stuff? I only slightly know the girl, and her mom only a little better. We go to church with them. I have her sizes if I decide to buy her clothes, but I feel a little bit weird about doing that.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

I always do crafty things unless I'm told what the child is into. Rainbow loom has been a hit in the past. I've also gotten a bead kit to make bracelets and necklaces.

DD is 8, and clothes, books and crafty things is always popular. For other kids, I usually buy clothes at that age if I don't know the child.

Stuff from Disney's Frozen is really popular right now.
My DD loved crafts at that age - still does. Someone got her a fashion design kit where she traced different parts of dresses, shirts, shoes, etc. to make her own unique outfits. Along with some colored pencils so she could color them in. I've since seen the same thing at Target and Hobby Lobby.

My DD turns 9 tomorrow and she loves all things crafty/creative, etc. She's very into her Spirograph kit right now. Duct tape and project book is one idea.

My DD just turned 10 and she loves loves loves books and all things crafty. We always ADORE the craft kits by Klutz: Klutz on Amazon. These craft kits are by far the best out there -- good quality products, great instructions, really awesome projects. These books get used up in our house (we must have close to 20 by now!) and we've even bought refill products for a few of them. |

My dd turns 9 next month (how did that happen?). She is into art supplies (anything and everything) scrapbook supplies, music (Itunes), and craft items. She is also enjoying learning how to cook and would love a cookbook, apron, anything kitchen related that was "hers." She also has a few coloring books by Mindware that she LOVES. MindWareI think it varies a lot from one girl to the next, but hopefully you'll get some great ideas from this thread.  |

I was going to say CRAFTS, but I see the other Peas have beaten me to it! LOL. Another thing my nieces love at that age is the Lego sets for girls. They go nuts for them.

yup, crafts are good. If you know she's a reader you could ask mom if there's a book she's been wanting. My nine year old loves to get books as gifts. Right now she loves Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, Warriors books, etc.
