Gifts That Bring Smiles For a 9-Year-Old's Birthday

Wow - eee. It's cool to be nine! And, it's even cooler to get awesome gifts that bring smiles for a 9-year-old's birthday. Nine-year-olds dream of adventure and learning new skills. They appreciate everything that is given them. They love to garden, play games, and share in everything.

Turning nine is a special occasion and here are seven terrific birthday gift ideas to celebrate that happy birthday:

\"herb Garden\"

1) Name Scroll. Nine-year-olds love to see their name in handsome lettering across a painted background with a galloping knight in armor, a beautiful kitten, a sensational dolphin, or a sleek jaguar. The scroll tells the name meaning and history and includes famous people with that name. This is an art keepsake that is perfect for framing.

2) Carpet Skates. Any nine-year-old would delight in slipping his or her feet into these "funslides" and gliding over the carpets as if on wings. Carpet skates of many colors can carry you lickety-split from one room to the next and wherever there are carpets. They do not work on bare floors, though.

3) Treasure Hunter. This state-of-the-art metal detector can help find jewels, coins, and other precious objects in the backyard, along paths, in the park or at the playground. This detector even tells what the buried treasure is before anyone starts digging. The detector gives off a sound that gets louder as you get nearer to the treasure. All ages have fun with this sort of treasure hunter.

4) Child's Sewing Machine. This will delight the young seamstress in your life. This battery-run sewing machine comes complete with thread, spindle, and bobbins. She will be proud of the many-colored handkerchiefs, scarves, and doll clothes she makes with her own hands. This is sure to provide hours of fascination for even the most active child.

5) Indoor Herb Garden. With daylight from the window, and a light watering three times a week, an indoor herb garden will flourish in the care of any nine-year-old. Some of the more popular herb gardens contain basil, dill, rosemary, mint, and thyme. Indoor gardens are available at garden shops or from catalogs.

6) Backyard Tent. Can there be anything more fun than spending the evening with best friends in a tent in the backyard? You can outfit the tent with inflatable mattresses and a lantern and listen to ghost stories on CDs. All that is left is to dash back into the house to get cocoa and cookies. Backyard tents come in all shapes such as dinosaurs and whales. They are waterproof and even have a floor and mosquito netting. A tent such as this is sure to make every nine-year-old grin from ear to ear.

7) Jewelry-Making Kit. Making jewelry is fun for everyone in the family. Colorful plastic beads for necklaces and bracelets as well as rings with interchangeable stones are just a couple of the items you can make with kits. Braided ribbon jewelry and 3-D paper jewelry are big hits - to say nothing of jewelry with reflectors and flashing lights. This last one looks cool in the dark.

Remember, when you are searching for gifts that bring smiles for a 9-year-old's birthday, think of one of these great gift ideas. It will make everyone at the party happy. Have fun!
