30 Gifts for Tween Girls to Show Them You Care

Let them know you get them.

Tween girls are mysterious creatures indeed. They’re still kids, but not really kids. Their interests seem to change daily… that is, of course, when they let you in on what their interests are. All this, of course, makes it hard to figure out gifts for tween girls. (OMG just tell us! We want to do something nice for you that you won’t roll your eyes at!)

Even the nature of tweenager-dom is confusing. I mean, what even does one consider a tween? (The consensus seems to be children between 9 and 12, though others consider tweenhood to run until the end of middle school.) But if it makes you feel any better, the reason we find all this confusing is that it’s even more confusing to actually be a tween.

On a bad day, this in-beTWEEN phase (get it?) can be really tough. On a good day, though — and, believe it or not, there are some really good days sometimes — this stage represents the transition into a new world of interests, discoveries, and fun. This is an age where a lot of kids start really trying to figure out who they are and where they fit in within their family, peer group, and even the world. Priorities shift, and their brains (and bodies) are constantly changing — it’s a trip.

This particular stage of your child’s growth can be incredibly exciting, and these gifts for tween girls can serve as little offerings that let your child know, “Hey you: We see you and we think you’re great.”
