Toys for Girls in 2011
Long gone are the days of simply picking up a Barbie for a little girl and being done with the shopping. Of course, Barbie is still an ever-popular choice and she does make an appearance on this list, but girls today also like some variety. They're not afraid to enjoy activities that were previously reserved for the boys, such as extreme sports and videogames. It's great that more young girls are widening their horizons, but that also raises some new challenges for the people who buy them gifts. It's a blessing, really, because you have a lot more options to choose from. Here's our list of the best toys for girls in 2011 to help you make the important gift-giving decisions.

It has two inputs for microphones, so that you can plug in two mics and sing duets! There are literally thousands of karaoke compact discs available. No matter what genre you love, you will be able to find instrumentals of your favorite songs. Now, if you are looking to set up a karaoke booth or host a public show, you will likely need a more advanced machine. For having fun at home, at the cabin, and at gatherings and parties, however, the Singing Machine fits the bill just right.
