What to look for when buying a unique gift for a 7-year-old girl
Here are 15 unique gift ideas for 7-year-old girls:
When most kids hit seven years old, their idea of the perfect gift often becomes more specific to their unique personalities. When run-of-the-mill toys don't cut it any more, it can be hard to think up gift ideas for older kids. While a sewing machine might make the perfect present for a crafty fashionista, a space-loving gal will be more interested in exploring the skies with a new telescope than learning to sew a purse.
Seven is a crucial stage in childhood development. According to the CDC, this is around the age when kids are becoming more independent in every way, from doing most personal tasks themselves to desiring more social independence. They start to grasp their place in the world, and with that comes an onslaught of budding interests and passions.

What to look for when buying a unique gift for a 7-year-old girl
Searching for the perfect unique gift for any seven-year-old girl comes down to one simple rule: Let her interests lead. She is just beginning to discover what she's really into, not just what she's been presented with until now. So she'll love a gift that encourages whatever is holding her interests at this age and stage, and she'll also love that you took the time to notice and find a gift that is as unique as she is.
Chances are there are plenty of gift ideas to match her current passions, so here are a few more suggestions to help narrow your search:
Consider the gift genre
Okay, so she loves axolotls. Would she enjoy a book filled with facts about them, or would she prefer another axolotls plushie for her collection? Start with her interest, but go beyond to consider what type of gift she might like most that is still on theme.
Put a new twist on a beloved interest
Take the opportunity to broaden her horizons by choosing a gift that expands her interests into new territory. If she loves singing, maybe she could use a book or toy that helps her learn to read music. If she can't get enough arts and crafts, look for a gift that lets her work with a new medium.
Challenge her just a bit
Kids are more willing to challenge themselves when they are interested in the task at hand. So, whatever your seven-year-old is into, look for a gift that matches their passion while also providing a bit of a challenge. You could get a book on their favorite topic that is slightly beyond their reading level. Or get a craft or science kit and see how much of it they can complete independently. Outdoor toys are also a great opportunity to encourage their gross motor development, like roller skates or a ride on toy.
