what is the best gift to get a 9 year old little girl

Under 5000 what? Dollars? Sorry, but anything even near that range is far too expensive for a 9 year old. I wonder if you meant under 50.00? Girls of 9 are in an awkward stage of life. They haven't quite outgrown dolls and they aren't quite ready for teenage type gifts. Little girl jewelry and makeup is one way to show you are aware that's she growing up without putting her in a whole new age category. Girls this age like pretty things, and anything that tells them they are truly entering pre-teen years. However, if you don't know the child well, I would suggest a gift certificate at a store you know she shops at or at some large store aimed at kids, like Toys R Us. That way she will want whatever it is she decides to spend the money on and you don't have to worry about sizes or exchanges.
