Fun Gifts for Tween Girls

It can be so hard to know what to buy for girls in that stage between child and teenager. Here are some ideas for fun gifts for tween girls.

 

Girls aged 9-12 can be a tricky lot to shop for, but have no fear, our very own tween consultant, my daughter Olivia, is here with some suggestions for fun gifts for tween girls!

Journals and Funky Pens– These are perfect for doodling, practicing signatures or recording ideas.  We especially like this one,  it’s an interactive mother/daughter one and can be a great way to keep the lines of communication open and fun!  Olivia loves these pens and these ones.

 

Craft Kits– Fantastic way to try a new skill without investing a lot of money in supplies. We’ve had this, this, and this.
Kids this age are often chattier when their hands are occupied so crafts can be a good way to have conversations beyond  monosyllable answers and eye rolling, not that I have any experience with that over here….


 

Gift Cards– A perennial favorite and it gives a sense of independence to young shoppers, too.  Movie theater or museum tickets, iTunes, favorite stores, local ice cream shops, Starbucks, and bookstores are Olivia’s top picks.

Interactive Games– Board games can be passé for some of this age group, they’re way too cool for the traditional ones, but ones that require group interaction seem to be a hit. Awkward Moments is a card game providing real life scenarios that tweens can discuss among themselves or with parents and brainstorm ways to overcome the horror that comes with falling up the stairs in the 7th grade hallway. Loaded Questions Loaded Questions is an opinion based game that is perfect for tweens and teens, as they know everything worth knowing. This board game will have everyone talking, laughing, and learning, all under the guise of fun.

Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling left out?  A few years ago, I watched from my park bench as a young mother tried to console her sobbing daughter. “I’m sorry, honey. I don’t blame you for being upset.”  “I don’t know why they won’t let me be in their group for the talent show. They just said they already had enough people and their routine was done and there wasn’t anything they could do about it. I told them I would make a new one up, but they wouldn’t do it.”  I tried to focus on my kindle while occasionally looking for my kids to exit the school door. But as much as I tried not to eavesdrop, I had to admit I was interested to hear how the mom would handle this all-too-common situation of a child feeling left out.  “Well, they’re probably just jealous of you honey, because you are such a good gymnast and they aren’t. They probably don’t want you in their group because you’ll show them up,” the mom stated matter-of-factly. “You should do a solo routine. Or maybe one with Chloe.”  “You think?” the girl replied, her tears slowing down. “You think they’re just jealous of my tumbling?”  “Totally.”  Several minutes passed before my girls came out, but the interaction between the mother and daughter stuck with me for a lot longer.  Maybe the girls were jealous, or maybe they honestly had their routine finished.  To continue reading check the link in bio.
