Each year fabulous new gift products emerge for girls and young women and Christmas gifts for girls in 2009 will be no exception. However, not everyone has the time or inclination to sort the wonderful from the dreadful and a little help from those experienced in researching these items can save an enormous amount of time for shoppers.

Here is a list freshly prepared from an extensive study of product sales by some of the largest retailers. To make it easier for you to consider, selections have been grouped into some of the most popular categories:

1. Books – The Twilight Saga Collection [Box Set].
What girl isn’t familiar with the Twilight movies? Now she can read the books that the movies are based on. In fact, this is the whole set. As well, included are four collectible prints. The book titles are Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and the last one, Breaking Dawn. An excellent bestselling collection for fans of the vampire love story.

2. Dolls – Barbie Top Model Doll from Mattel.
This is not just any Barbie – it’s top model Barbie with trendy fishnet stockings and a slender figure. She’s wearing a black mini skirt, a patterned top and ankle boots. Her long blond hair is glossy, straight and chic and she carries an animal print handbag. This Barbie is ready to hit the runways at international fashion centers.

3. Dress Up – Harry Potter Deluxe Robe Child Costume.
Those girls who are fans of the Harry Potter series can now have their own officially licensed, Harry Potter costume, just like Hermione in the books and movies. The black robe has burgundy accents and a hood. There is an embroidered Griffindor Crest patch on the front and it is available in various sizes to suit the age of the child.

4. Gift Basket – Chocolate Delights: Gourmet Chocolate Gift Basket.
Into every girl’s life a little chocolate must fall – or so she prays. This is a delicious assortment of gourmet chocolates, along with cookies and candy. It includes Ghirardelli and Lindt chocolates, kettle fudge, Belgian chocolates, malt balls, and butter cookies. The design is colored in gold and cranberry. The willow basket is stained a dark cherry.

5. Jewelry – Phoenix Firebird. Silver-Tone Pewter Pendant Necklace.
A beautiful pendant necklace in the form of a Phoenix, the mythical bird. It is 100% pewter and is nickel free. It can be worn on a chain although it comes with a ready to wear black cord.

Need a Christmas Present for your Child? Try a Harry Potter Audio Book!

I finally landed my dream job as an airline pilot. After all the years of training, all the hours logged in the air as an assistant pilot, everything finally came to fruition. There would be a lot of benefits to my new job. A big pay raise is the obvious one. Free airlines tickets anywhere in the world, great heallth insurance … my family was very proud of me, and I was proud of myself as well!

There was one major downfall though – nights away from my wife and four year-old son. American Airlines started me out flying international routes to and from London, which meant overnight stays in England several days a week. I would be spending much more time away from my family as I had in the past, and it would take a lot of getting used to.

My son, Ryan, would take it especially hard, I was sure. Every night before he went to sleep, I would always read to him for 10 minutes. It was our time to bond before he drifted off to sleep. He would look forward to it every day (as would I), and Ryan had difficulty falling sleep if I wasn’t there reading to him.

After my first couple weeks on the job, my wife Linda told me that Ryan just couldn’t fall asleep on the nights that I wasn’t home. He needed his daddy to read to him before he could fall asleep, she said.

I had just started reading him the newest Harry Potter book before I started my London flights. I wondered what I could do to soothe Ryan into falling sleep while I wasn’t there to read to him. Linda tried reading to him a couple nights, but it just wasn’t the same. He wanted to hear my voice.

That’s when I came up with an idea … a crazy one, but one that just might work. I bought an audio cassette tape online of the same Harry Potter book that I was reading to Ryan. I previewed it for free before I bought it to make sure that it was read by a male voice. It arrived in the mail two days later.

I set the tape to where I left off on the book with Ryan the night before, and asked Linda to put the cassette in the radio in Ryan’s room that night and press ‘play’. Before I left for work that afternoon, I told Ryan that I would be gone that night, but that I could read to him that night through the radio. He seemed a little puzzled, but said “Okay daddy!”

The next morning, my wife called me in London and told me it worked like a charm … she pressed play, left the room, and returned 15 minutes later to Ryan fast asleep with a big smile on his face. My idea was a success!
