    Default Star Wars gift ideas for girls?

    My nieces (almost 7yo and 12yo) both really like Star Wars and something Star Wars-related was suggested to me as a gift idea. DH has picked out 2 different SW lego sets for them, but I'd like something else, too. They're both very girly and like pink, ruffles, twirly skirts, etc. I'm trying to find something that could sort of meld those two "worlds". (I don't typically think pink/sparkly when I think Star Wars, but who knows!)

    Does anyone have any gift ideas for me? Or know where I should look?

    Oh, and I think they've just seen the original Star Wars, so looking for the original characters. Plus, the younger one likes Clone Wars.

    Target has a lot of girly Star Wars clothing and pajamas. Guessing Disney Store will have a lot of options, too.

    Check thinkgeek. I saw a huge collection on their site. And believe it or not, hallmark .com also has some cute stuff.

    Target has amazing sparkly yoda hoodies if you can still find them. They are grey with silver stars. My Dd who normally finds the Star Wars clothing not frilly enough begged for one for Christmas. It was also at the top of my niece’s wish list.

    My DD2 just got a really cute Star Wars sequin flip shirt. Those sequin flip things are all the rage here right now. One side says Star Wars, and then you flip them and it's a picture of Darth Vader. She got it at Walmart, although I don't see in on their website.

    There’s a super cute Princess Leia sweatshirt right now at GapKids. Also, the forces of destiny dolls and clothes are adorable. That might be better for the younger one as they are basically Barbie size dolls. I’ve found some cute stuff on etsy - enamel pins, zipper pouches/pencil cases etc. Her Universe has great Star Wars stuff for girls and women - clothes, jewelry, mugs, purses/wallets etc.

    The FoD dolls are the same size as DC Superhero Girls dolls - 13" to Barbie's 11.5" - and built similarly (strong, like gymnasts, not like willowy fashion models.)

    I picked up the Yoda hoodie from Target for the almost 7yo. I also picked up some socks for her and her sister. (Thanks for the hoodie info, Pear!)

    The 12yo is harder for me. I'd like to get something similar to the hoodie for her, so some sort of hoodie or sweatshirt, maybe? I need to be mindful of the difference between tween-fun and babyish though. I guess if I look in the junior section for Star Wars stuff that should work. 12yo DN wears a 14/16 or a juniors xs.

    Oh, and the FoD dolls look great! I might try to run that by my SIL to see what she thinks. Don't want to overwhelm with SW stuff, but I really like those! I'm also trying to find out which specific characters (if any) 12yoDN likes. That might help a little.

    Look at the HerUniverse stuff, then. I hear it runs small and is mostly Juniors' sizes (though it might bill itself as misses')

    Also - trivia: Ashley Eckstein, the woman who markets HerUniverse, is also the voice of Ahsoka Tano on Clone Wars and Rebels.
