10 Perfect Holiday Gifts For Your Picky Tween-ager

The dreaded tween years; not quite old enough to be a teenager but not really a child anymore. I have one of those in my home at the moment, and holiday shopping can be especially tricky for this age group. At this age, they’ve developed a sense of personal style and preferences that you may or may not know well. They also crave that youth-like feeling that comes with receiving toys for the holidays, so their list can be very broad. 

There is a big chance you may know your tween child well enough to get a few of their favorite items this year, but if you need a bit more help bulking up the items under the tree, I’ve compiled a shoppable list of ideas my tween daughter is asking for this year. Chances are, your gift recipient will love them too! One thing is for certain, tweens change their minds often, so be sure to snag a gift receipt for it all!
