Don’t you just love going to see a Christmas movie at Christmas time? I do! And a great choice this year is the Disney Nutcracker and the Four Realms! Did your daughter love the Disney Nutcracker movie? Here are some unique gifts ideas for girls that will remind fans of the Disney Nutcracker of that Christmas magic all year long!

Unique Christmas gifts for girls inspired by Disney's Nutcracker and the Four Realms - Did your daugther love Disney's Nutcracker? The movie inspired me to come up with some really unique Christmas gifts for girls. There are lots of sparly and ballet things, of course. But there are some really different items based off of Clara's love of all things mechanical. #gifts #christmasgifts #nutcracker #DisneysNutcracker

Here are some great present ideas for girls to remind her of your special outing to see Disney’s Nutcracker and the Four Realms. Haven’t seen the movie yet? You can read my family review of the Nutcracker and the Four Realms.

Gift ideas for girls who loved the Disney Nutcracker Movie

I found a lot of great gift ideas to go along with the Disney Movie The Nutcracker and the Four Realms. Because Clara was so interested in machines and gears, I was able to come up with some really unique gift ideas based on the movie. And one of them is already girl tested by my own daughter!

I’m sure you’ll be able to find something (or several things) for that special girl on your Christmas list.

Book gift ideas for the Disney Nutcracker

1. The Story of the Nutcracker Ballet

You know with my love of children’s books, I’d just have to include a book. Here’s a picture book about the Nutcracker ballet with really gorgeous illustrations.

2. The Nutcracker and the Four Realms: The Secret of the Realms: An Extended Novelization

A novel-length book for older girls.

3. Mouse Trap Game – by Hasbro

The mouse trap that Clara was showing her brother at the beginning of The Nutcracker and the Four Realms immediately reminded me of the Mouse Trap game I played as a kid. And it’s still available!

4. Chaos Tower Rube Goldberg Inspired Award Winning Marble Run

For girls who are inspired to try making their own machine, here’s a fantastic kit will all sorts of possibilities.

5. Klutz LEGO Chain Reactions Craft Kit

If you found that last kit intimidating, Lego has this easier one that’s a great place to start.

6. Klutz LEGO Crazy Action Contraptions Craft Kit

This is a set my younger daughter actually got in her Christmas stocking one year, and she’s made all 16 variations. This one includes machines AND gears, which were also featured in the movie and are the focus of the next few gift ideas inspired by The Nutcracker and the Four Realms.

7. Clock with visible gears

Gears are infinitely fascinating to watch. This clock might just inspire you to want to build your own!

8. Clock with moving gears kit

There’s nothing like building something to really understand how it works. Your daughter can work with gears, just like Clara in the Nutcracker and the Four Realms.

9. An easier Children’s Clock Kit Puzzle

If the earlier clock kit seems daunting, here’s a kit/puzzle that your child can put together by themselves. Then move onto the more fascinating kit above.

10. Key necklace

This key pendant necklace looks remarkably like the one Clara was hunting for in The Nutcracker and the Four Realms. At the end of the movie, she was even wearing the key like a necklace.

11. Musical decorative egg box

This egg box doesn’t lock, but it’s gorgeous and mostly silver like the one in the Disney Nutcracker and the Four Realms. AND it’s a music box! If you really want to splurge, this is a beautiful choice.

12. Pearl musical egg box

This is jeweled egg music box doesn’t look quite as close to the one in the movie, but it’s less pricey.

13. Jeweled Egg jewelry box

Most of the egg-shaped jewelry I boxes I found were hundreds of dollars, but here’s a pretty one that doesn’t cost a fortune. You could even take out the tiny coach and put a decorative key inside it.

14. Gold and black enamel egg shaped box

Here’s another one I couldn’t resist! It’s close to the silver color of the egg box in the Nutcracker and the Four Realms.

Gift ideas inspired by the Nutcracker Ballet

15. Nutcraker music box that plays the Nutcracker Suite

16. Nutcracker snow globe

There was certainly a lot of snow in the Nutcracker and the Four Realms. Who can resist a magical Nutcracker Show Globe?

16. Ballerina Costume

Every little girl who loves the Nutcracker ballet has to have her own tutu. And if it’s a tutu, it’s got to be pink!

17. Gingerbread House Kit

In the Nutcracker and the Four Realms, during the Nutcracker ballet performance Clara traveled to a land of Ginger Bread Houses. With this kit, your daughter can make her own!

18. Mini Gingerbread House Village Kit

Why stop at one gingerbread house? Make a whole tiny village, just like in the movie!

You can also shop for Gingerbread House Decorating Kits at Target.
