Have a tween in your life that is HARD to shop for? Keep reading as I share my top tween gift ideas that any tween will love this holiday season!
The Top Tween Gift Ideas They Will Love
1 – Spontuneous
This game looks like so much fun! What it is, is that you pick a card with a word on it, then you have to sing/shout a song out that has that word on it. I think it would be perfect to play as a family or with a group of friends!
2 – Hammock
Apparently hammocking is a thing? I had never heard of it until my hair girl was telling me about it. I guess it is the in thing to take your hammock to the park and hang out with friends all laying in your own hammock ha. This one is super affordable!
What girl wouldn’t love this hanging in their room? I think it is darling with the fairy lights and you could even have photos of them and their friends printed to gift with it!
These are DARLING. They are both under $5 and would be so cute to gift alone or to have on the top of a gift that you are already giving!
5 – Beanies
I think that every girl and boy mostly love beanies. I love that both of these are under $10 and would be so cute paired with their favorite treat or even a gift card to iTunes or somewhere!
6 – Apple Watch Band
This leather band is perfect for a boy or a girl. It is $24.99 which I feel like is a good price to give a tween (especially a cousin or something). You could package it in cellophane with candy at the bottom!
7 – Phone Case
If the tween you are buying for is anything like the tweens I know they love phone cases and switching them out. This case is so cute with the marble detail and is only $7!
8 – Polaroid Film
If they have a polaroid camera giving them film is perfect! It also would be a cute stocking stuffer!
9 – Snow Scooter
I’ll be honest, I want to buy this for myself! I think it looks like so much fun. Pair it with some hot chocolate or give it alone and it is perfect!
10 – Drone
I think all boys want to drone… That is all Zach, my brother, my cousin, and my nephew talk about. This one is perfect because it is affordable so if it breaks it isn’t as big of a deal.
11 – Flannel Shirt
I am obsessed with flannel shirts and they are perfect for girls & boys.
12 – Slime Kit
Slime, oh slime. I swear just about every kid & tween loves slime! This kit is so fun and has so many different options for them to make!
13 – Remote Control Building Kit
Any boy would think this is amazing, I have never seen anything like it. If King was older I would be totally buying him this. How cool that you get to build something that you then can drive!
14 – Bedding
I was the girl that wanted to re-do my room every other week growing up. It drove my parents crazy. I loved getting stuff for my room and bedding. This set is so cute and affordable.
15 – iHome
iHome. What more needs to be said? I don’t know many tweens that don’t like to blare music in their rooms ha.
16 – Football Toss Game
I think this is so fun, they could play it in an unfinished basement during the winter or outside during the fall, spring, and summer!
17 – Jumping RC Car
Boys and electronics, that is all I can think about making this guide ha. I think this is so cool and a different take on the normal remote control car.
18 – Sweater
I like giving clothes as boring as they can be to receive because they are a useful and practical gift.
This is the perfect jacket for a boy. I love that it can be layered or worn alone.
20 – TV
Every tween loves a TV, I don’t necessarily think we will let our kids have them in their rooms, but it could be for a game room, etc.
21 – BlueTooth Speaker
Tweens blaring music, ha right? This speaker is water resistant too which is perfect for all their summer activities!
22 – Spike Ball
I have always wanted to play this, I see people playing it all the time and it looks so fun! I love that it is an activity gift rather than something that they only sit and do.
23 – Balance Stilts
I think these look so fun! They are something for a boy or a girl really any age above 6 I feel like!!
24 – Polaroid Camera
How fun to gift with a gift card for an activity with their friends or a note with it that they get to have a pizza party with their friends and take pictures of them!
25 – Google Home
King has an Alexa in his room and loves it. He sets timers, turns on music, and so much more. I know a tween would absolutely love it!
26 – Safe
Any boy would love to have a safe, especially if they are a hunter to keep their bullets and such in it. (Of course you knowing the password)
27 – Coat
I think giving a coat is the perfect Christmas gift. They are more expensive and something that is needed. You could pair it with a beanie and gloves if you really wanted too!
28 – Kindle Fire
Perfect for the tween that loves to read! You could have a few new books loaded on it too.
29 – Smart Speaker
This is integrated with Google, how cool is that. I actually want to get one for when I am outside doing yard work and such.
30 – Slack Line
I don’t know much about these other than that they are all the rage right now for tween & teens!
