Selecting Gifts For Kids (girls) 1 of 3: Zhu Zhu Pets (hamsters)

Picking up a Christmas gift for your daughter, grand daughter or your niece is not a very simple task. Especially when the girls are quite small, they have their own favorite dolls and other sentimental stuff that they have a very special connection with. In fact, at each stage their fascination with things change and it is quite difficult for people outside of their age to understand and comprehend the choices of kids. However, if you know the tastes of the individual child and are well acquainted with their personal preferences, likes and dislikes, you may be able to get a gift that they would really like. One of the best things to do is to ask them about their favorite dolls or presents without giving them an indication of why you are asking. Their answers could really guide you to the right choice.

As girls grow up, they go through a series of different phases. When they are really small, their favorites would be cuddly soft toys that they can take to bed and hug while sleeping. Of course there are much older girls that sometimes have this habit, but you can see this universally among all small girls. As they become older, they are on the look out for beautiful role models that they can mimic. That is when dolls like Barbie enter the scene. Dressing the dolls and grooming them becomes part of a fantasy that they would live out in reality when they become much older. Some girls also develop a taste for more intellectual games that are more mind-oriented.

Young children love to have cuddly pets like puppies or even hamsters. But of course very small children may not have the ability to take care of them properly. Most of the burden of taking care of the pets would fall on the parents or elders in the house. So you may not be able to readily choose a real pet for a gift. But the next best option for a pet is a pet toy that looks and behaves almost like a real pet! Take for instance, the Zhu Zhu Pets hamsters that have become quite popular in the market these days. These are toys which mimic the behavior of real pet hamsters. But since they are not live pets, you don't have to worry about them messing the house. It would be a great relief also to parents and elders to know that they are free from this chore that they would otherwise have to undertake in the case of a live pet.

These pet hamsters exhibit a wide variety of behavior. They explore their surroundings, make cute sounds, purr when petted and even yawn and go to sleep. You can control their behavior through various buttons strategically located on their body. They can also be left to express their various behaviors on their own. These toys also come with a variety of play environments. These are optional additions which children can gather over time and add to their collection. The more environments they have to let their hamsters play in, the more fun it becomes. Adding new environments and building some of their own would help children develop their creativity while having fun at the same time. These pet hamsters could be an extremely exciting Christmas gift especially for small girls that like small, cuddly pets.

Although each girl would be unique and have her own personal preferences, these are general guidelines that you can use to pick up a gift that she would most probably like very much for a Christmas gift.
