  If you are feeling pressure to purchase the perfect present for a 6-year-old girl, breathe a sigh of relief. There are plenty of gift ideas for girls. Choosing from the items that are available for little ladies may be your greatest obstacle. Even if you haven't set foot in a toy store for years, finding a girl-pleasing gift can be a painless task.
  
  

Books

• Buy a book or a book series to present to a 6-year-old. The book "Junie B. Jones," by Barbara Park, is about a girl navigating her way through kindergarten. Later books in the series record Junie B.'s exploits in first grade and beyond. "Eloise," by Kay Thompson, chronicles the adventures of a cheeky little girl who lives in the Plaza Hotel in New York City. "Harriet the Spy," by Louise Fitzhugh, follows the tomboyish heroine, Harriet, as she spies on neighbors and classmates. Harriet records her wry, witty observations in a spy notebook. All three of these books have inspired tie-in merchandise --- journals, accessories and dolls --- that you can add to a book gift.
  
  

Lunch Box

• She may own one already, but lunchboxes can be like purses: a lady can always use one more. Go lunchbox shopping at a specialty kitchen store or upscale children's shop. The popularity of "bento" --- the artfully arranged presentation of food --- has spawned a lunchbox revolution. Bento-inspired lunchboxes contain compartments for little sandwiches, sliced fruit and other lunch items. When placed in the bento-box, lunch appears elegant, even in the elementary school cafeteria.
  
  

Jewelry Box

• Buy a box for her to organize her jewelry. Choose a box that sits on her dresser, or opt for a larger model that stands alone on the floor like a miniature chest of drawers. If there is a latch on the box, provide a lock and key to secure it. Find a selection of jewelry boxes at a department or jewelry store.
  
  

Craft Kit

• Stop by the craft store to check out the selection of kits for girls. Look for the recommended age, printed on the box, to help you find one that is suitable for a 6-year-old girl. Choose from assorted jewelry kits or soap- or candle-making kits and other girl-friendly crafts.
  
  

Fashion Doll Accessories

• Girls who collect fashion dolls are also interested in all of the accessories and fancy add-ons that are available for purchase with the dolls. A call to the 6-year-old's mom or dad will score you the name of the little girl's fashion doll of choice. Choose from luxury doll accessories such as houses, cars or airplanes. Thrill her with a box of doll clothes and shoes, or splurge on one or two designer outfits for her dolls. Don't pass up a new case to organize all of her new doll accessories.
