Frequently Asked Questions

What do I buy an 8 year old girl?

Girls this age love to develop their sense of style and identity. Check out our brilliant Origami Flower Lights so she can create her own very own beautiful origami flower color-changing lights, or how about the color changing Jellyfish Lamp which is the perfect additions to any girls bedroom! Why not also consider Fashion Design Light Up Sketch Pad, Amazing Magic Pens Set of 25, or the amazing Hogwarts Castle Harry Potter in 3D puzzle.

What are 8 year old girls into?

Bursting with independence and creative expression, girls at this age enjoy spending time mastering more complex tasks, fostering their social connections, playing sports and reading. 

What is a typical 8 year old girl like?

At 8 years old, girls are still a long way off appearance-conscious adolescence. But the average 8 year old girl will likely become interested in how she looks, and start to have strong opinions on her hairstyle or what she wears. Encourage her to express herself! Plus some of the funkiest accessories and boldest colors are only available in child sizes - why not live vicariously through her fashion choices!

All eight year olds feel a strong need to belong in their social circles. By third grade, girls are increasingly more self-reliant and proactive about inviting friends over for sleepovers and organising playdates. (But don't call it a 'playdate' in front of her, because she'll say the word is too babyish!) Girls this age tend to pair off in smaller groups and have close individual friendships - but the closer the friendship, the more intense the emotions and the drama if something goes wrong. Peer pressure can be a powerful thing. Encourage her to always be herself, and to pursue interests and hobbies where she can make like-minded friends.

Eight year old girls are also emotionally maturing at a rapid rate. They may begin to need 'me-time', free and unstructured time in which they're left alone with their thoughts. Girls have a growing need for privacy and healthy ways to deal with their more private feelings. A lockable drawer or box, or a diary with matching key, are meaningful gifts. Not only do they keep her secrets safe, but they will also show you respect her need for privacy.

Great Products, Great Service

I Googled Cool Presents for My Niece, and this was the first result that looked interesting. I didn't hurt that I'm a also a Wicked Uncle.I was stoked that there was such a great selection and that most (if not all?) WASN'T Made in China. I found a few great gifts AND they gift wrap (it's cool wrap no less) AND you can add a hand-written card. Well worth the extra ten bucks or so when your shipping out of state. My niece LOVED her gifts and I got compliments on the gift wrap and everyone was happy. All for under $100. Thank you Wicked Uncle! I will be using your services going forward for all my kid gift needs.

Recovered losses!

I needed to find some gifts for my 9 year old grandson's birthday! Wicked Uncle came through with great ideas for his age group. I also needed tohave them delivered the day before his birthday as I am in Mexico and my grandson is in Colorado Springs. I paid for quicker delivery service that was to get it to him by Friday, however it did not get to him until after his birthday! Wicked Uncle not only reimbursed me for the delivery charge, but also gave back some funds for my anxiety! I will certainly;y use Wicked Uncle in the future!!! Very Happy!

A Grandparent's Source of Fun Gifts for grandchildren

Excellent. As a grandmother who has no idea what children under 10 would like and knowing that my grandchildren have stuff already,I can always find gifts the kids like and don't have at Wicked Uncle. It helps that you can put gender and age in the website's search engine, and then lots of ideas.

Would 100% purchase from them again!

The experience as a whole was amazing! I'm usually the gift card uncle so it was nice to be able to give an actualgift. They even offered to gift-wrap. I was able to be there when my nephew opened the gift and the look on his face was priceless, he immediately wanted to try out the gift even before opening the other gifts. Thank you to Wicked Uncle.

Unique gift for curious child

I ordered the NatGeo Adventure Scope - Flexible Digital Camera to Explore. My grandson is in a stem stage as it was his party's theme.I hit a home run with this one! The quality of the gift was impressive! There are other brands out there on other sites. Don't be swayed! This is the one you want! My gift was delivered on time. The package contained a unique surprise. It was a thank you note for the child to fill out and send . Very cute! My grandson got a kick out of filling it out.

For the price, the size of the product is ridiculous.
