I think this present is not just limited to little girls although it is meant for children. I got this for my niece (she is 5) who loves her beads/pink and jewelleries. The quality of the beads are good. They are wooden. The colours are bright and cheerful. Didn't come of and quite sturdy. There are more of the simple beads rather than the heart shaped ones. With the box, they provided a few different coloured strings which can be used to placed the beads. It is easy to do and you can spend hours making and re-making them. It can be made as simple or as complicated as one wishes! Lovely and good quality stuff. No instruction but it's fairly straightforward. Suitable for children who enjoys wearing and making things. Highly recommended for the price and the quality. The only thing is the box hasn't got a sturdy closure so keep a lookout so they don't topple over and things go everywhere!
