Minnie Mouse Gifts for an Eight-Year-Old
Minerva "Minnie" Mouse was introduced in 1928 as the companion to Disney’s classic Mickey Mouse. Little girls adore Minnie, who commonly dons a polka dot dress and a matching, oversize, polka-dot bow. At the age of eight, little girls like to play dress-up so costumes or dresses are one gift option. Also at this age many girls enjoy reading, so consider books and magazines that feature the fun-loving, adorable rodent.

Books

Books include novelty board books she can share with her younger sibling. A more advanced storybook is a gift option for an 8-year-old who enjoys reading on her own. For little girls who take dance classes or just love ballet, purchase such hardback books as “Picture Me Dancing with Minnie,” where your child’s photograph can be placed onto the cover. Purchase a coloring book featuring Minnie Mouse and her Disney pals for a young girl with a creative side. For an 8-year-old with higher artistic ability, purchase paints instead of crayons to go along with the coloring book.
Room Décor
-
At the age of eight, she may wish to have more input to the design of her room. Move on from the Minnie Mouse sheets and pillowcases she had as a toddler. For an 8-year-old, purchase items such as a giant, stuffed Minnie Mouse doll to place onto her bed. Since she's getting older and becoming more responsible, include more fragile decorative items, such as Minnie Mouse wall clocks and collector figurines. Decorate your child's room with Minnie Mouse lamps and plush sitting chairs.

Clothing

Minnie Mouse clothing includes everything from an actual costume your 8-year-old can wear to costume parties to sweatshirts and T-shirts featuring an image of Minnie. She may have had the matching Minnie Mouse outfits as a smaller kid; now she's ready for stylish simplicity. Purchase a jean or capri set that features a single image of Minnie Mouse on the jean pocket or the shirt. A nightgown rather than foot pajamas may be more appropriate for an 8-year-old. You can still include a matching robe and slippers to complete the gift. For special occasions, purchase a dress or a white sweater with a single miniature image of Minnie Mouse on the pocket.
Jewelry

At the age of eight, young girls may be ready to take care of jewelry. Purchase such items as a matching heart-drop earring and necklace set with Minnie's image. A bracelet dangling Minnie Mouse charms is another option. Purchase a Minnie Mouse ring she can wear on special occasions. Purchase a Minnie-shaped watch or a watch with Minnie Mouse on the face. Go for a less expensive plastic watch for everyday use. Save the more expensive 14K Minnie Mouse watch for special occasions.
Other Items

Accessories such as backpacks and Minnie Mouse school supplies are other gift ideas. She can use a Minnie Mouse towel and washcloth set for bath time. Skip the kiddie plastic utensil set her younger sister might have. For your eight-year-old, purchase ceramic Minnie Mouse cups, mugs and plates.
