The Beacon Street Girls newest line of holiday gifts for girls will be sure to please even those most exacting of consumers - tween girls. These savvy shoppers know just what they want and Beacon Street Girls delivers the goods with colorful and unusual gift items based on the popular book series of the same name that has already attracted more than 200,000 readers nationwide.

Expected to be among the most popular of the new gift items for girls are the Happy Lucky/Mad Nasty Thingy reversible mood door and face pillows, a velvet sleepover bag with rhinestone lettering, and colorful spin and flower journals.

The Beacon Street Girls have also designed a new line of brightly-decorated throw pillows  big favorites that include Book 1 of the book series and a flashlight for reading under the covers.

“Our new line of fun, age-appropriate products is based on research with our customer base, girls and their parents, and represents what girls really like,” says Addie Swartz, CEO of B*tween Productions, the parent company of the Beacon Street Girls brand.

“The growing popularity of the Beacon Street Girls book series, our ‘healthy, role model’ messages which resonate with moms, and the loyalty of our readers should make this a very good year,” she predicts.

The seriesÂ’ contemporary storylines encourage girls to express their individuality, work through problems, and make smart choices.

Promises, Promises, the fifth volume of the friendship/adventure series is coming out this month and more than 180,000 copies of the books have already been printed. The theme of book five, competition between friends, is sure to resonate with the seriesÂ’ young fans.

So far, Beacon Street Girls has attracted major media coverage from The Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe, Working Mother and other publications.

The Happy Lucky/Mad Nasty Thingy reversible door pillow and face pillow are the most unusual of the new gift items for girls and make a creative, fun gift for tween girls whose moods are subject to change at the blink of an eye.

If a girl wants to let everyone know that she’s having a great day, she displays the happy face of the two-sided pillow. If her kid brother or sister has just ruined her favorite CD, she can just flip over to the nasty face – warning everyone to stay away.

The 5” x 4” door pillow retails for $12 and the 18” x 15” face pillow retails for $26.
