GIFTS FOR TWEENY GIRLS 10-12 YEAR OLDS

A big hit with this age!

Cute tumblers are a bit hit with this age. They love the Starbucks brand but you can also find cute ones on Target and Amazon. This was one my 12 year old and her friend agreed was “super cute”.

This is not just any water bottle. No, no, this is THE most popular water bottle right now in our middle school. Your tween is sure to love it. Check out the various designs, colors and sizes.

This smartwatch is almost identical to the Apple Watch, with a much more moderate price tag. Great for fitness, alarms, music, and controlling smart devices, it’s also waterproof. Your tween will love the cool factor!

This year, many of the tween and young teen girls I know spent hours working on making clay bead necklaces and bracelets. They enjoyed personalizing their creations with letters and charms that come in a set like this one.

A fun, fast-paced, and interactive card game that tweens play just about anywhere. It’s been the favorite around our neighborhood for the last year. The whole family will enjoy this one.  Other games you might enjoy:  Throw Throw the Burrito One Night Werewolf  Uno  Code Names

When in doubt, buy your gal a super-fuzzy blanket! This one comes in several colors and sizes and is large enough to completely wrap up in. My daughter and her friends picked out this one.

As a smaller gift or stocking stuffer, tweens like these throwback clips for easy do’s and their great grip.

This light bulb works anywhere a standard lightbulb does and the user can change the colors with the use of the remote.

How much fun could your tween have using this giant set of colorful gel pens? Whether it’s writing letters to friends or writing in journal, she will get her use out of them. A good journal to try is Not Your Average Journal 

This set comes with two foam canvases and patterns, but she can also create her own. A great project to get your tween off the screen and encourage creativity and imagination. This set includes their newest patterns.

These cookbooks are top-notch, from the photography to the recipes to the layout.  Great for this age!

Don’t ask why. Just know that this is a thing that tween girls love. You can thank me later.

What girl doesn’t love to feel like she’s at a spa? These come in different sizes and colors including holiday patterns!

This dainty gold necklace can be personalized with her initial. Great stocking stuffer or smaller gift.  Bonus Idea: Put this necklace inside the Explosion Butterfly Gift for a super exciting moment when she unwraps it.

Great lights for reading before bed. This set comes with an ON/OFF switch, getting rid of unplugging to turn the lights off. 200 mini LED bulbs and 66Ft in length, great for decorating, and creating a warm, gentle, ambient glow in the room.

This is a beautiful and interactive Bible to start a little lady off with. Gift this with a nice set of colored pencils like Prismacolor, too.

This book is a very engaging, well-done graphic version of many Bible stories. Not just boys enjoy these stories!

With a strong girl main character and plenty of action and adventure, tween girls will tear through this page-turning series. Well-written, engaging, and clever.

It’s a learn-to-crochet kit for beginners. You pick a kit, get everything you need for the project, and learn by following your kit’s step-by-step video tutorials.

It’s really great for all ages. Instead of using numbers to solve Sudoku puzzles, Colorku uses brightly colored wooden balls. The solid wood game board includes 81 balls in 9 different colors, 104 puzzle cards, a solutions booklet, a color conversion card, and a storage tray.

A huge thing for this age. There are so many variations of the plushie overstuffed animal pillow. I linked to a wide variety of options.

Basically durable, comfy slippers that your tween boy can wear to school…even in the winter. Middle school girls (and boys) like to use Jibbitz Shoe Charms to personalize their Crocs.

With so many different levels to choose from, the Lego Friends sets are still super popular with many girls in this age range.

These bags are all over the place with this age! Lots of space inside anything they want to take along.

Kavu rope sling bag.  Taku it to sports practices, friends’ houses, church, and on road trips. It’s big enough to pack books, snacks, an iPad, clothes, and such, but still small, manageable, and CUTE. There are SO many fun colors and patterns to choose from in the Kavu line.

Sure most kids have a phone but can it share physical instant pics with their friends! This updated version comes in loads of bright colors and also includes a selfie mirror. Buy extra film so you can print right away.

Put this in your backyard and kids of all ages will use it and love it. Set it up and take it down fairly easily. Great for exercise, getting outside, and full family fun.

Boys and girls should have this knife. They like to whittle wood with it, take it on hikes, and pretend to “survive”. There are so many colors and patterns to choose from.

This gift isn’t for young kids or every kid. But, if you have a fairly responsible one who is an adventurer, he/she will love this flint and steel set. Let them start your fire pit, while all the neighbor friends look on in awe.

They are all the rage with the tweens  and don’t seem to go too dangerously fast.
