Tips for finding gifts for a 5 year old girl who has everything
In addition to specific gifts, I always like to share tips for gifting the specific demographic. Here are my tips for nailing gifts for a 5 year old girl who has everything:
- Consumables: crafts and other things that use up can always be saved for when the current stash finishes
- Decide your budget in advance. It’s easy to get carried away spoiling a little princess so make sure it works with your original spending plan.
- Choose between unique or premium (or both if you can swing it!) Even if you can’t afford to go with premium, finding something truly unique and appealing to that demographic is a win.
- Gifts don’t need to be toys! Think of things that have a special element to them.

Extra Special Plush and Doll Gifts for a 5 Year Old Girl who has Everything
Plush and dolls are a win with little girls, but what if she already has a selection? Here are a few super cool upgraded gifts in this category!
Madame Alexander’s Going to Grandma’s Huggums
Madame Alexander creates high quality dolls, designed in New York with over 100 years worth of attention to detail. The Going to Grandma’s Huggums doll is a small baby doll with an i intricately embroidered outfit that is “going to Grandma” quality.
A right away adopted her as the baby sister she has been begging me for (“a fake one – not a real one, I still want a real one”). She is absolutely in love with the delicate lips, hair texture, bright pink three-piece outfit, and soft huggable body.
This is a keepsake quality vintage-style doll, with eyes that open when upright and close while lying down. It’s the type of thing that she’ll one day be able to gift her own little girl.
Madame Alexander 90’s Retro 18-inch Doll
If this particular five year old is a step beyond baby dolls, Madame Alexander makes fabulous 18-inch dolls too. This next-stage doll is 90’s inspired (I guess we’re retro!)
She has a plush pink hat I’d have ben envious of as a child, foam slippers, a cute handbag, jeans, jackets, and a sweet polo shirt.
Her hairs is soft and long – A’s favorite feature, though she’s obsessed with the plush hat too!
Purryfuls – Realistic Purring Pet Cat
For the little girl with big emotions, Purryfuls’ realistic purring pet cat is an amazing calming tool. It’s not just another plush. Every detail on this cat is beautiful and well-made, and it comes in a generous 16 inch size.
The cat has various vibration and “purring” modes to offer a calming feeling. it comes with a journal and pen too for a full calming experience. Most five year olds are just learning to write, making this a fantastic addition. And while A is not quite learning yet, she loves to draw her feelings.
The soft plush, combined with a bit of weight, and the vibration and sound make for a multi-sensory experience that mimics its real life inspiration. Press her paw to activate different modes. It’s perfect for cuddles at night, as a lap buddy, or any time a little calming down is in order!
Woof & Co Fashion Dog Dolls
I first “met” the Woof & Co fashion dog lineup at a toy show this past summer and I was so impressed. If you think there’s nothing in the toy industry that hasn’t been done yet, meet Lily the Shih Tzu!
This toy focuses more on the “unique” angle of gifts for a 5 year old girl who has everything and comes with a super affordable price tag. A loves the soft fur, and I’m totally jealous of her outfit!
She’s a posable doll, and her outfit is removable and swappable with other Woof & Co dolls, and she even has a Paris-ready handbag!
Non Toy Gifts for a 5 Year Old Girl who has Everything
Kids eventually get to an age when a non-toy gift gets a “what? that’s not a gift!” reaction – and then outgrow it eventually. I’m sure you’ve seen it. Five is well within the safe zone of non-toy gifts being a winner, as long as they have a very specific appeal. I’ll outline the appeal for each of the specific suggestions below, but some examples can include: a favorite character or theme featured, COZY – all the cozy stuff, and glitter.
The Comfy Original Junior
Everyone loves a good oversized hoodie and my kids are equally obsessed with a plush throw blanket.
But what if you combine the two? The Comfy Original Junior is a large, oversized hoodie made of Sherpa inside and soft fleece on the outside. I’m not gonna lie: her big brothers are totally jealous and have been begging for Comfies of their own!
It’s large enough to snuggle and tuck legs into – it is supposed to fit more like a blanket – and is perfect for lounging on the couch, especially on chilly days. But kids can still wear it comfortably and walk around in it. It has a generous hood and a large kangaroo pocket for a full snuggle.
One size works for ages 3-10 – although my very thin 12 year old fits in it too – making it something that she’ll be able to enjoy for years.
Diel Friends Kid-Safe Makeup & SPF Puff – 4 Piece Gift Tin
Diel Friends reached out to me a while ago to share specifically their SPF powder puff and I was amazed. Putting sunscreen on kids’ faces is challenging, but their Judy Sun Cushion SPF50 solves that issue with a formula that our little divas can apply on their own.
But let’s turn it into a giftable set!
The Judy Deluxe Beauty Gift Box comes in a storage-friendly tin. It’s a cross between functional makeup and play. It’s all kid-friendly and makes sense for this age, with the SPF I mentioned above, a water-based nail polish, color changing Pearl lipstick, and their heart cheek stamp. It’s a cross between play and function, and a sweet way that kids can play beauty salon with actual results.
All the products are made with EWG green-grade, non-toxic ingredients, and the tin is large enough to store any other play beauty products she might have.

My First Paint by Sticker
I tend to count toys and activities are counted as non-toy because they are so consumable – they don’t just collect and get played with, they get used.
Paint by Sticker is a favorite in our house – kids match up stickers with the correct number to form a picture. And My First Paint by Sticker is perfectly simple for this age group!
The Farm Friends book is spot on for kids who love cuddly farm creatures.
More Cool Toys for a 5 Year Old Girl who has Everything
When looking for toys for a 5 year old who has everything, think about things they might not have yet – classics with a spin, new releases, educational toys, and collectibles.
Emmers Emotion Seekers Game
5 is an age where little ones are navigating big feelings in a big way – and building the skills to resolve them. Emmers creates games and books that are rooted in developmental psychology.
The Emotion Seekers game is a very simple, easy to learn game that feels familiar but has a totally unique spin. It opens up feelings about emotions and how kids (or even adults) might feel in certain situations, having kids decide what that might be, which can help them understand reactions and how to navigate them.
Game play is simple: Flip over a card and read the story (a grown-up should guide the game if kids are non-readers). Kids choose emotion tokens (the instructions suggest starting with only four simple ones- though the game comes with 18) to correspond and move spaces according to the card directions.
The design is modern but still colorful, playful, and kid-friendly. And the moving pieces are sturdy wooden peg dolls.
Large as Life Puzzles with Trivia
Puzzles are a huge developmental tool at the 5-year-old-stage, and while kids might need help, they absolutely love the satisfaction of doing them at this age! Large as Life creates trivia puzzles in the shape of the animals they feature. This Red Panda measures 3 feet across and features a furry creature that my kids fell in love with!
Each piece has a trivia fact on the back, and some of the pieces are special shapes just to make things more fun.
And to simplify things for younger kids, it comes with a diagram that color codes the puzzle into sections so that it can be worked on bit by bit. It’s a fabulous entry level into real puzzles, and is perfect for kids who love animals – and learning random facts about them!
Clixo
Clixo is an all-around favorite toy in our house, and A is just starting to love playing with it! They are flexible (origami-inspired) sturdy plastic pieces that connect together with magents on the rounded ends.
Because f the added element of flexibility, kids can create in new ways. And the connected ends can turn, making a fun and satisfying clicking sounds.
Ty Beanie Bouncers
Ready for a touch of nostalgia? We all grew up with Ty Beanie Babies – but not Beanie Bouncers!
These plush balls bounce surprisingly high and come in… well, everything! There are Beanie characters, with their own birthdays, and there are loads of favorite licenses. Harry Potter, Marvel, Baby Shark, Stitch, Bluey…
Choose their favorite character, decide on your budget, and choose accordingly! Fill a basket as a bundled gift or gift them in singles or doubles. A loves the purple cow (Daisy) and Bluey Beanie Bouncers best.
Clickeez Modular Keyboard Fidgets
I have a troubled relationship with collectibles: on the one hand, I love the idea of small prizes and gifts I can give them, but on the other, I don’t like when the entire play value is collecting. So collectibles with added play value are my favorite!
Clickeez are a brilliant fidget concept. Kids love clacking on keyboards, and these are like the old-school SUPER clackey kind. They are modular and can connect in different ways, and multiple sets can be connected.
Best books for a 5 year old girl
They say you can never have too many books… and while I’m starting to learn that there may be a point where you CAN have too many, that number is very high. These book picks (and book-ish gifts) are super fun gifts for a 5 year old girl who has everything!
Booksy
These small little characters contain a surprise inside: a mini book with an actual story inside! A loves her little Frozen Booksy and keeps asking for more!
This is another one of those fun collectible-type gifts that have a real purpose beyond collecting. They have loads of licenses so you can get the one that your little one loves.
3 Minute and 5 Minute Character Stories
A received Daniel Tiger’s 3-Minute Bedtime stories and Disney 5-minute stories as gifts and she has spent so many hours immersed in it! I have no idea if these are from the same publisher or not, but you can definitely look up the recipient’s favorite character – there are many of these.
I’m Sorry You Got Mad
Yes, this book is as passive aggressive as it sounds! It’s about learning how to apologize properly, taking an “I’m sorry you got mad” apology and turning it into a genuine one .The drawings are vivid and the message is clear.
What Kind of Shoes Does a Hippopotamus Choose?
I met Kat Maconie, the author of this book at an event. Her bold shoes are iconic, and this book features loads and loads of them. It’s the kind of book that adults will enjoy as well – as they’ll discover new details in the pictures each time. It’s fun and humorous and my kids love it.
