My 9-year-old is officially done with toys and made the cutest wish list this year. She’s all about decorating her room, organizing her vanity, and styling herself. We’re dipping into beginner beauty + skincare (age-appropriate, of course), but we’re not quite at the phone stage yet. She also loves to read and still has a soft spot for cute stuffies. If you’ve got a hard-to-shop-for girl this age, this list will make holiday shopping so much easier!
