  An adorable stuffed animal makes a cuddly gift that the little girl can give a hug to whenever she misses her father. Stuffed animals come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, as well as a number of different types of animals. This ensures that the gift giver can give the little girl a cute animal that she will like, whether it be a teddy bear or a googly-eyed stuffed jellyfish. Plus, stuffed animals are found in many soft, plush fabrics that will be perfect for a good squeeze.
  
  

T-Shirt

• While having their father deployed can be a sad time for children, a cute and expressive t-shirt can help little girls show how proud they are of their father's dedication to protecting his country. Online, gift givers can find plenty of screen-printed t-shirts with messages such as "Army Kids," or "My dad is in Iraq and he loves me!" These t-shirts make an exciting piece of clothing that will remind the little girl of her father and let her express her love for him.
  
  

Book

• Many books deal with the deployment of military parents. For instance, the storybook, "Boo Boo Bear's Mission: The True Story of a Teddy Bear's Adventures in Iraq" tells a touching tale that makes a wonderful cute gift for a little girl who misses her father overseas. Stories such as this one describe the experience of families that are separated by deployment and tackle the painful emotions of being apart in a way that is suited for young children. Best of all, story time with a new book gives the little girl quality time with her mother or other family members.
  
  

Picture Frame

• An adorable picture frame showing off a precious picture of the little girl and her father makes a cute and very sentimental gift. While basic frames are bound to look nice, many department stores, craft stores or specialty stores offer frames that are designed especially for children (see Resources). The little girl will love the fun prints and bright colors, and they will look nice when displayed in her bedroom. Along with being cute, a picture frame and family photo lets the little girl remember her father while he is away.
