Gift ideas: Kirk Baird
Every holiday season has at least one big-ticket item for kids. Sing A Ma Jigs by Mattel, a collection of cuddly, chattering, crooning an-
imals, is projected by many to be one of this month’s must-haves. The toys come in several forms and colors, as well, making Sing A
Ma Jigs perfect for the budding collector. Available at Kmart, Toys R Us, Target, Walmart; price varies.
Hello Kitty pil-low, comforter, night-
light-clock radio. Hello Kit-ty was all the rage in Japan by the
time the iconic character was introduced in the United States in the mid-1970s, and it
shows no signs of waning popularity. Girls can’t resist the cute white kitten with a
pink bow. Consider this bedroom set a hip alternative to the Disney Prin-
cess line. Available at Target.
Don’t know what a Yo Gabba Gab-ba is? Ask a preschool girl. They’ll tell you all about the kids’ popular cable TV show, perhaps even burst into one of Yo Gabba Gabba’s strangely hypnotic songs. Don’t try to understand the phe-nomenon — it’s not made for you — just
make your daughter, or someone else’s little girl very happy this Holiday Season with a Yo Gabba Gabba gift. Available at
Kmart, Toys R Us, Target, and Walmart.
Laura Dare, American Princess line of girls' cloth-
ing. One of the joys of girls at Christmas — as opposed to boys — is that they don’t
mind receiving clothes as a gift. Take them up on it
with a new dress, sweater, skirt, or accessory in either
the Laura Dare or American Princess line of fashionable and fun clothing for young
girls. Available at Dillard’s.
Disney Princess Musi-cal Cleaning Set. Leave it to
Disney to find a way to make household chores magical to little girls. The Snow White-
themed set ($24.99) features a sponge, dustpan, duster, buck-
et, and, best of all, a broom that plays “Whistle While You Work.” Clean time is fun time.
Available at Toys R Us.
International Play-things My First Purse in
Purple. Little girls love to emulate big people;
now they can emu-late Mom’s “shop till you drop” mall trips at home with a purse
($12.99) of their own. This polyester and vi-nyl purse includes a cell phone, lipstick, mirror, makeup, car keys, and a cash card. Available at Target.
Melissa and Doug jigsaw puzzles. No gift guide is complete without at least one educational toy on the list. Puzzles are a great source of learning for children, and you would be hard-pressed to find a bet-ter puzzle maker than Melissa and Doug. The educational toy company’s well-crafted line of wooden jigsaw puzzles is available in a variety of designs, from the fantastic (fairy fantasy) to the edu-cational (U.S. map). Available at Learn-ing Express.
Baby Alive. Dolls
continue to get more lifelike and Baby
Alive is no exception: it talks, bounces, eats and drinks, and goes potty. The
ultra-PC dolls are available in Caucasian, African-American, and Hispanic varieties, with numerous
accessories sold separately. Available at Kmart, Toys R Us, Target, and Walmart.
Toddler Girl Peace Camo
Set. Daddy’s a military man. Mommy’s a pacifist.
What’s a 4-year-old girl to do? Split the middle with Toddler Girl Peace
Camo Set ($24.99), which features pink peace signs colored onto a grey-green camouflage top, and matching
purple leggings. The two-piece set also features a surplice top with pink trim,
handkerchief hem, and elastic waist leg-gings. Available at JCPenney.
