With Christmas not too far-off, little question your interest is beginning to turn to getting the suitable gifts for all your family and friends. For those who have a daughter or a family member or friend is a girl then you could be trying to find toys for girls which are popular or unique or just hot off the presses so to speak. The next few paragraphs will give you several ideas and some general themes to think about so that you can get a really perfect Christmas gift.

Dolls will always be a popular toy theme for girls. You can go for the popular alternatives like Barbie. The makers of Barbie tend to have their fingers on the cultural pulse and are quick to release a new Barbie doll that reflects a trend. One such trend is the Twilight motion pictures.

The 1st Twilight movie hit the screens in 2008 nevertheless with the recent installment of the Twilight series just out and more movies in the pipeline new Twilight Barbie dolls are guaranteed to be released. The initial Twilight Barbie dolls were the leading characters Edward and Bella. But more dolls have been released, notably Jacob, Alice and Victoria. Girls love the Twilight stories and would most likely like to own a Barbie doll of their idols.

Other dolls that might prove popular this Christmas 2011 are Monster High Dolls. These are new dolls that are very awesome. They are quite unusual as they are not based on a film or cartoon series or something like that. They've got their own youtube series and this seems to be really the only way (apart from traditional advertising) that the word is spread about these dolls.

With this said, they're certain to appeal to girls and would make an ideal gift for Christmas. The Monster High dolls are fundamentally dolls of high school kids. But they are not just your average high school adolescent. They're the children of iconic monsters.

For example , you can find Deuce Gorgon who is the son of Medusa the demi god/monster from Greek Mythology. She had tresses made of writhing snakes and turned those who looked at her to stone. Deuce had a few snake like attributes, including a pet, but is far better looking than his mother and positively will not convert anyone to stone. He is trendily dressed and one of several cool kids at Monster High.

Other dolls that are set to become popular this year are Lalaloopsy dolls. These dolls are more for younger girls I would say. They're based on the raggedy doll your Grandma may have made for you when you were a little lass.

There are eight Lalaloopsy doll characters and each has their unique look and persona based on the materials that they are made from. They were also born (or the final stitch was made) on certain days that also link in with their personality.

As an illustration , Dot Starlight is composed of an old astronauts suit and her final stitch was completed on the day man first landed on the moon. She is fascinated with science and traveling (flying) and even has a flying oriented pet in a bird. The bird pet comes with the Lalaloopsy doll toy.

We have only spoke of a small amount of dolls that may be all the rage this Christmas but there are plenty of others in the stores as well as many differing types of toys that girls might like.
