Best Gifts for 5 Year Old Girls
Five is such a sweet age. Girls this age are becoming more independent, developing their own interests, and gaining confidence while still holding onto so much imagination and creativity.
I’ve been creating these gift guides for years with input from my own kids, my sister, friends, and other parents. The gifts on this list are favorites we’ve personally owned, gifted, or watched become huge hits with kids.
Whether you’re shopping for a birthday, Christmas, or another special occasion, these are some of the best gifts for 5 year old girls that are fun, engaging, and actually get played with long after the excitement of opening presents is over.

What Are the Best Gifts for 5 Year Old Girls?
At 5 years old, many girls love a mix of imaginative play, creativity, learning, and active fun. They’re often interested in arts and crafts, pretend play, books, building activities, outdoor adventures, and games they can enjoy independently or with friends.
Many girls this age enjoy gifts that help them create, explore, and express their growing personalities.
Gift Ideas for 5 Year Old Girls
2. Sparkly Soccer Ball – We have had this ball and actually re-purchased it when we lost it because we love it so much!
3. Claw Machine – This is smaller than it looks in the picture but we LOVE IT. Every kid that comes to my house plays with it (even adults)!
4. Sparkly unicorn notebook – my daughter always has things to draw and write down! This is her favorite type of notebook!
5. Piggy Bank – both of my kids have this piggy bank in different colors and it’s a HIT! IT’s fun to set their code and type it in to get to the money.
6. Gabby’s Dollhouse “phone” – this ends up in all the purses and bags my daughter packs. She loves it!

10. Barbie Makeup Artist – This notebook has blank photos of different barbies and you can do their “makeup” using the makeup kit in the book and some stickers. My daughter spent SO MUCH TIME playing with this that I bought her another one and will probably buy our 3rd one soon. It’s so cute.

Get Your Kid Their Own Landline – Meet Tin Can!
This is all the rage with my kids and their friends! Tin Can is basically a landline phone! But it is kid-friendly, comes in fun colors, and has extra features! You can call other “tin cans” at no additional cost – unlimited! OR you can pay ~$100/year to have a traditional phone number (through Tin Can) so they can call grandma/grandpa etc. Tin Cans come with an easy to manage app, you can set easy speed dials, approve contacts, etc. I love that NO CALLS are allowed unless you have approved that number! No spam, no strangers, it’s all just easy and safe and fun! My kids love getting a call from their friends!
THE Cutest Clothes for 5 Year Old Girls – Lola & The Boys
Have you heard of Lola & The Boys? My daughter had one dress from there and brought it to me and said “more clothes like this please!” and honestly, I don’t blame her! It’s THE CUTEST! Use code LUNDEEN20 for 20% off your order!
Mommy & Me Outfit Ideas
One tradition I’ll never outgrow is matching with my daughter.
Whether it’s matching Christmas pajamas, coordinating Easter dresses, family photos, or simple everyday outfits, these little moments have become some of my favorite memories.
If you’re looking for mommy-and-me outfit ideas, matching dresses, or coordinating outfits, I’ve put together an entire guide featuring our favorite brands and where we shop.
