This round-up of gift ideas for tween girls was SO much fun to create and is always one of my favorite gift guides. While it makes me a little weepy to no longer be buying Barbie dolls and stuffed animals, Tween girls are so fun and easy to shop for because they know exactly what they like!
I am again leaning on Caroline’s very organized Christmas list for this guide—this year, she’s gone all out by creating her wish list in a note on the family iPad, complete with hyperlinked items and organized by priority. It’s basically a dream for Santa! With her help, I’ve pulled together a collection of gifts that are sure to make any tween girl feel special, from trendy accessories to creative craft kits and tech gadgets they’ll love. Let’s dive into all the fun finds that are perfect for the tweens in your life this holiday season!
PS — I would ALSO recommend checking out my Tween Boys Gift Guide which features lots of outdoor equipment that your little lady may love too.
1. Super Soft Fur Blanket
A cozy throw blanket! Tons of size and color options but the rainbow is so fun!
2. Acrylic Light-Up Dry Erase Board
Perfect for jotting things down in the most fun and colorful way. Several size options.
3. Meet Me at Midnight Slippers
Cozy fuzzy slippers for the Swiftie!
4. Hair Chalk Kit
Set comes with 10 temporary washable hair color pens.
5. Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag
A tween must-have, this belt bag carries all the essentials like lip gloss, a mini container of slime, a few snacks, and more.
6. Vanity Desk with Mirror
Caroline’s most wished for item this year! This vanity comes with a lighted mirror, large drawers, a cabinet, and charging station.
7. Athleta Leggings
These 7/8 leggings are comfortable, available in several colors, and on sale!
8. Custom Neon Sign
Caroline received this last Christmas and LOVES it! This is such a fun gift for the tween bedroom!
We have purchased two additional custom frames from this vendor and have had a great experience. You can customize the text, color, and more.
9. Gel Nail Polish Kit
This gel polish kit comes with 35 gel nail polish colors, a UV light, matte and glossy top coats, tons of nail tools and more! It really is such a great set.
10. Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa Perfume Mini Set
THIS is the set I drove Caroline around town to multiple stores to find. The ladies in Sephora said this is THE gift all the tweens have been coming in for and it’s sold out in most stores. So, if you’ve got a tween girl, buy it online NOW!
11. Hanging Swing Chair
Perfect for the tween girl bedroom!
12. Confetti Slime Kit
Caroline is a slime connoisseur — and this is one of her favorite kits. We’ve purchased this one 3 times! She’s very picky when it comes to slime and this kit has the best activator.
13. Birthstone Pendant Necklace
A beautiful dainty pendant necklace. Lots of color options! The pictured necklace is rose quartz on a gold chain.
14. Hover Board
Caroline received this for her birthday and uses it all the time. It keeps a long charge, is durable, easy to ride, and lights up! Several color options available.
15. Slushy Maker Squeeze Cup
OK, I do not know how this magic works, but it WORKS. You can turn any liquid into a slushy with this cup!
16. Glow Recipe Ultra Fine Mist
An ultra-fin facial mist spray with hyaluronic acid for glowing skin! And it smells good.
You can also find this at Sephora.
17. Preppy Hooded Sweatshirt
This tropical “preppy” hoodie is a popular wish list item among Caroline’s friends this year! Make sure to size up if your tween prefers an oversized fit!
18. Athletic Shorts
Caroline has already moved on from the butterfly shorts. These are the Lulu look-for-less running shorts she loves — in black. If you’re thinking about getting these, confirm with your tween which color!! Caroline now only wants black!
19. Tazz Platform Uggs
Caroline’s second most wished for item on her list!
Another item to confirm color before buying! Caroline and her friends all want/have the chestnut color and it can be really hard to find.
I recently found these at Dillard’s on sale!!!
Tip: Size up, these run small!
20. Preppy Toiletry Bags
To hold all the skincare/toiletries/perfumes/etc!
More Tween Girl Gift Ideas
Still need more ideas? Here are 16 more gifts Caroline requested last year — and still loves! Any of these items would make for the perfect tween girl gift!
However, Caroline says she prefers the Owala to the Stanley cup now, and her top 3 most favorite items on this list are:
- Laneige Lip Mask (fave flavors: cotton candy or sweet candy)
- Clay Bead Bracelet Making Set (we’ve purchased this set several times for her and she can always use more!)
- Slippers (wants a new pair for Christmas)!
