Gorjuss Girls Merchandise from Santoro London

Other than that, I find Suzanne Woolcott's artwork for Gorjuss rather appealing.

Some cards are inspired by various books, and one design, titled "New Heights," has the Gorjuss girl literally on a stack of books. I'm showing here "White Rabbit," inspired by the White Rabbit in Alice in Wonderland, and "Because She Is My Rose," inspired by Little Prince. Unfortunately, they are not available at this time from Amazon (i.e. the time of this update, December 17, 2020).

I love trinket boxes, especially as some of us girls do like to keep certain mementoes such as certain mărțișoare I've received over the years. The latter are good luck charms we give each other on March 1, and wear the whole month of March -- or used to; hardly anyone wears them on their jacket anymore. But they remain our way to celebrate the arrival of spring. Men give them to women usually (together with a bouquet of spring flowers -- snowdrops, hyacinths, or freesias, mostly -- or other popular flowers such as tulips): to their partners, colleagues, classmates, teachers, but girl friends give each other mărțișoare as well. More on this tradition in another article.

If you know a middle grader, preteen, or teen who likes to read, she may enjoy gifts with the "Found My Family in a Book" theme. Amazon sells a pencil case / cosmetic case from this collection. 

There are other case designs as well. I'm thinking this particular accessory could make a great gift for a girl's birthday or for Christmas if you don't know what else she would like. You can put some cash in, and offer her the purse that way. Some people are happier when they receive money. If the girl you want to get a birthday or Christmas present is like that, then "wrapping" the money in this cute cosmetic case is a great idea.

The Gorjuss dolls are rather cute, too. They do carry a hefty price tag, however. As I see most gorgeous dolls do nowadays -- not the case when I was growing up, but then they weren't dressed up in cute clothes or traditional dolls like the brand-name dolls of today; my dolls were dressed in my grandma's knitting, who was quite amazing at creating itsy-bitsy pieces of clothing with very thin yarn. That said, I've rather fallen for one of the Gorjuss dolls (shown below) and would be happy to be able to offer it to the young girls in my life.

Gorjuss also makes notepads and hardcover notebooks. I remember how excited I was as a young teenager when I found a colorful pad with a drawing profiled in the background. I know we live in a very digital age, but details like this are little things that make preteens -- as well as younger girls and young women -- happy.

And the mugs. Well, cute mugs make everyone happy!

I hope you have enjoyed this little presentation of Gorjuss Santoro products. I won't end this article without showing you a mug as well -- equally perfect for tea for a six-year-old and for the girly girl who's not a teenager anymore. 

And if you're a father or grandfather shopping for a birthday or Christmas gift for your preteen or teenager daughter or niece, you have a great chance of not going amiss with this merchandise if the girl in question likes cute things.

And if you're shopping for yourself, well, I hope this article has given you some great ideas. Enjoy the gorgeous Gorjuss lineup from Santoro, London!
