Many Sparkly AccessoriesWhen your child just needs the perfect accessories to complete their princess look, this kit is a great choice.
Many children go through a “princess phase,” and some even retain this interest into adulthood. Princesses are glamorous, beautiful and capable and capturing that magic for themselves can be a delight for a child.
Whether as dress-up, roleplaying or other forms of play, a passion for princesses can inform and enchant many a play session. And of course, princess accoutrements make the perfect gift for the royalty-obsessed.
Many princess-themed gifts and toys focus on dress-up and accessories. These might be dresses, jewelry, shoes, tiaras and wands. A major element is often mix-and-match or some other way for the child to have latitude and creativity.
Some princess gifts are entirely craft-centric, where the child can make and/or decorate an accessory such as a crown or wand themselves. Kits like these make a great gift for a creative child and are excellent for helping develop fine motor control skills.
For children obsessed with particular royal characters, purchasing a complete look or outfit, or doll, of a specific character may be the best way to go. Specific characters are often featured on other, non-dress-up items such as lunchboxes and school supplies.
In that vein, not all princess gifts are centered on dress-up and accessories. Play environments or play elements such as castles or slides are also available, and can be perfect princess gifts for active, imaginative children.

DWYM Fun Fact
Princess play has existed for centuries. While dolls or other representations of known figures such as kings, queens and deities have been around for thousands of years, dolls of princesses and royalty exploded in popularity in the Victorian Era, according to Atlas Obscura. Princess culture has remained strong since then, spreading to specific fictional characters as well as historical real-life royal figures.
The Princess Gift Tips and Advice
- Make sure the princess gift you choose is age-appropriate. Be on the lookout for small parts or items that might break or shatter into sharp pieces.
- Check that all materials are non-toxic and child-safe — and be on the lookout for practical cleanup considerations, too. Kits with fur or feathery material could make a bit of a mess with a more enthusiastic child.
- Consider the child’s play style when choosing a princess gift. If they are a more active child, toys like hobbyhorses or play environments may be more enticing than dress-up or dolls.
