Buying gifts for tweens can be tough, especially considering how picky they can be. No longer interested in kiddie stuff, tweens’ tastes are changing daily as they move toward their teenage years and into middle school and junior high. With each birthday and holiday it gets trickier to think of the perfect gift. But one thing is for sure: tweens love to be trendy. From fun makeup to tech to clothes, they have the power to deem what is cool – and they aren’t afraid to let you know when something isn’t.
We love their brutal honesty, but it can also make buying tween girl gifts and tween boy gifts super difficult. With that in mind, we’ve curated this list to help direct you to a cool gift the tween in your life will love – even if they’re notoriously difficult to shop for. The holidays can be stressful enough without having to spend a ton of time figuring out what precisely to get for those recipients who have everything, which is why we’ve narrowed down a few of the season’s hottest products, many of which span the categories of beauty, fashion, home, and more. From the brands they’re obsessed with, like Free People, Lululemon, and Ulta, to the ones they’ll thank you for introducing them to, like Uncommon Goods, here are the best gifts for tweens.
