ten Gifts for Tweens (Ages 8-12)
gift ideas for older kids
Do you have tweens on your Christmas list that you have no idea what to get that doesn’t involve cash or electronics?
Tweens…let’s just say this is a “unique” time in a person’s life…
It’s a tricky, in-between stage.
They’re excited to grow up but they still like to be creative, active, and play…HOWEVER, being seen as “babyish” is about the worst thing that could happen to them right now 😉
Here is a list of 10, on-trend gifts that will help take the guesswork out of what to get that middle-schooler (or almost middle-schooler) on your list…
That will make them say “Hey, COOL!” instead of saying thanks but secretly cringing on the inside.
1.
Galaxy Projector Light
This Light Projector is-in the word of my tween son- EPIC! It projects drifting stars against a blue nebula cloud. You can change the color, the speed, and the brightness. You can connect it to your Bluetooth and use it as a speaker. It also has a sleep timer. Perfect for a tween bedroom or game room.
2.
Comfy
If you’re a fan of Shark Tank-then you probably know exactly what The Comfy is. Imagine a thick, fuzzy blanket with a hood and pockets, that you can worn-it’s genius! Perfect for afterschool and weekend downtime on chilly days.
3.
cards against humanity FAMILY EDITION
If you’ve played the original- you probably just gasped loudly at this suggestion. Now that you’ve recovered from shock-please note the FAMILY EDITION part of the title. This game is absolutely hilarious-especially perfect for tweens and slightly immature adults 😉
4.
Lounger Seat
This Floor Lounger Seat is incredibly comfortable and can be adjusted to 14 different angles. Perfect for doing homework, reading, or playing video games.
5.
Harry Potter Trivial Pursuit
Is the Tween on your list a Harry Potter fan? If so-this Potter-themed Trivial Pursuit is an excellent gift idea. It’s based on the movies, has 600 questions and 6 categories.
6.
Curtain Ombre Lights
Apparently LED lights in bedrooms are very “cool” right now. These curtain ombre lights are really beautiful and are a simple way for a tween to transform their bedroom for under 30 bucks.
7.
Harry Potter
Illustrated Book
Another Potter themed gift idea. The illustrated editions of the Harry Potter series are absolutely STUNNING. They’ve been slowly releasing these books one a year. Right now books #1-5 are available in the illustrated book form.
8.
Slam ball
Slam Ball (a less expensive version of Spike Ball) is a really popular game that is actually pretty simple and a lot of fun. It’s a 4 person game, can be played inside or outside and is an excellent way to help tweens blow off some steam.
9.
Shower Steamers
Treat the Tween on your list to a little spa gift with these Shower Steamers. You can choose between 10 different scent combinations and they all smell absolutely amazing.
10.
Tie Dye socks
Tall, colorful socks are still very on trend in the Tween world. These handmade, tie-dye socks are really fun, individually made and each one unique!
