My daughter turns 7 on Friday. She still likes barbies and bratz dolls. She likes my little ponies too. She is really creative so I'm buying her things she can draw and create, cut and decorate and get her hands all involved! If she likes to read, books are great! My daughter loves the Junie B Jones books.
Coloring books, markers. jewelry, and clothes!!! My daughter had tears in her eyes when I came home with 2 bags of summer clothes 2 weeks ago!
I don't know about tom-boys, cause my daughter is not that!
The idea of a shopping spree sounds waaaay cool! My daughter LOVES spending money! Lord help her Daddy and her future hubby!

Girly stuffMy daughter is all about crafts, barbies, and clothes. I think it would be a good idea to give her a Toys R Us gift card and then take her to cash it in when you are there.
Or you can do the shopping spree thing, but it might get costly if she doesn't undertsand the concept of buying only X amount! My daughter didn't even know what tax was at that time and so mommy always paid her tax. LOL
There are some really cool craft things with stickers, markers, paper, paints, etc....

I don't know about out there, but here the "build-a-bear" is really cute. It's a store in our mall where you go in and purchase a teddy bear, unstuffed, and they stuff it in the store. I'm told that they will place a little "heart" inside it, too, and allow them to "name" the bear. They get a "birth certificate", and actually have some kind of "adoption" ceremony or something like that.
When I was younger, there was a "cabbage patch" craze that went around, for baby dolls, which was a bit similar.
Anyway, the basic bear is around $10, but they do have complete outfits available, too, which is where the costs can add up. Either way, though, it can be fun for them!
What I did for Christmas last year is to purchase 3 of the basic bears for my niece's 3 little girls. They were mailed, unstuffed, to them, so they could then take them to the mall and go through the stuffing "process", etc. I also included an outfit for each of them, just to get them started.
Best of luck! I'm sure they will be happy, whatever you do!

My daughter is 7 and loves Webkinz. Actually, so do all her friends, siblings, and me too! As explained, it is a stuffed animal with a code to bring it to life on the Webkinz website. There are lots of games to play and you can dress it and decorate its room online. If her friends have one, they can send each other little virtual notes and gifts. Her other favorite toy is Littlest Pet Shop but the Webkinz is the top pick by far. Around here, they cost from $10-$12 and you can get them at Hallmark and upscale gift stores.

Oh, build a bear is so fun! But too easy to spend too much money! Little girls like to pick out all the accessories--you can easily spend 40-50 per bear!
Like the others, my 7 (almost 8 yr old!) LOVES to shop! She loves clothes, jewelry, barbies, and likes to read also.
(thanks for the info on the webkins....I've been debating that for my dd's b-day)
