my daughter has become quit the little spiritual person in our home, i am proud of her for this but i have seen some changes in her maturity because of it. not that its a bad thing but she isnt interested in the normal kiddie stuff any more. she isnt really excited over halloween and she hasnt even mentioned gifts for christmas. this time last year she would have been jumping out of her skin every morning to get ready to trick or treat. so now i dont know what to get her for christmas, she isnt interested in a lot of the toys on the market and i'm sure opening a box of clothes wont excite her SO do you have any suggestions?

Why don't you sit down and look through a catalogue with her, just make it a fun thing and not let her know that your're trying to get ideas off her for Xmas. See what sparks her interest and hopefully then you will have something to go on.
Or you could get her to write a letter to father christmas, there are lots of pages on the internet where you can do that and she'll even get a personalised letter back from him!

wow... i'm having the same trouble this year. not that my girl is becoming particularly spiritual, but she just seems to be in that wierd in-between baby and big girl place where gifts are harder to figure out...... my daughter does like american girl stuff, so that might be a good place for you to start, and there's tons of stuff, so you might even be able to add to her collection on other gift-giving occasions. good luck !!

I give my daughter the big toy book Toys R Us releases every year. I have her go thru it and circle what she wants. I tell her this is for santa...and she loves doing it!
plus it helps me figure out what she wants!

Maybe an MP3 player. My 8yr loves hers. Disney makes one for about $50.

Check out American Girl. Besides dolls, they have some really great books.

Books?
Crafts?
Webkinz are really popular with that age, plus it gets them doing things on the computer. Hope this helps.
