I know there is some controversy around what age actually constitutes a “tween” but for all intents and purposes, I’m using it to describe kids 8-12, mmkay? And this gift guide was given the gold stamp of approval by my very own, adorable yet moody tween girl.
Check out my full list of gifts for tweens as well as my all-inclusive comprehensive gift guide for everyone on your list!
Custom Bead Kit, $58
My current favorite gift to give girls this age. It’s a bead kit to make bag charms, which they all love to pile up on their backpacks. It feels like good old-fashioned DIY fun! They also have a non-customized version if you need it quicker.

Amazon Echo Pop, $50
We gave this to Amalia two years ago, and it is hands down one of my favorite kid purchases… ever? She uses it to play music while she plays in her room, asks about the weather so she can plan her ‘fits, and uses the timer for her daily reading log. It is super easy to add/edit parental controls, so I feel very safe with her using it.

iScream Fuzzy PJ Pants, $46
I don’t know what kind of hold these colorful, insane-looking fuzzy pants have over the tween cohort, but it’s a thing, they love them, and they’re cozy, so why not?

Bow Ceramic Catchall, $29
I envision this on my daughter’s dresser to hold earrings, chapsticks, and most likely stickers, fidget toys, and Band-Aids if we’re being totally honest.

Screen-Free Digital Camera, $69
This is actually the first gift I’ve bought for Christmas this year! Amalia is going to sleepaway camp for the first time next summer, and this screen-free camera will be perfect for her to capture memories with while she’s there.

Ombre Poof Lounger, $249
The cutest, coziest lounge poof for reading a book or doing homework on a clipboard. It has a matching throw option too! The things I would have done for this as a kid.

UGG Tasman Slippers, $84
These UGG slippers that all the girlies are wearing to school are at the tippity top of Amalia’s list this year. FML, I’m going to have to do it.

White & Gold Jewelry Stand, $149
We gave this to Amalia for her birthday in July and it’s great because she can actually see all of her earrings and necklaces and they don’t get tangled and bunched up.

Kids’ Custom Beaded Necklace, $36
This sweet customized beaded necklace is so cute. Not gonna lie, I’d wear it myself. Maybe I should go for a mommy and me look here! I can speak from experience when I say that it looks great on the stand pictured above.

Irridescent Table Lamp, $39
I couldn’t tell you why, but I KNOW that my daughter and her friends would love this lamp. She’s very into accessories for her room and desk and this would definitely be a winner.

Mini Custom Brush, $48
I gave this mini customized hair brush to my nieces last Christmas and they were a big hit! I’m getting Amalia one for her backpack because she always comes home with a hair full of knots, and maybe a cute brush will encourage a little brushing lol.

Heart Custom Blanket, $78
This was a best-seller from my gift guide last year, and I think it’s just darling, so had to include it again!

Cloud Slime, $16
As a reluctant slime connoisseur, I have to say that this brand doesn’t stick to things the way others do, so I actually allow it in my house. Great stocking stuffer or Secret Santa gift for the girlies.

Treasure Keeper Safe, $24
Anything with a lock (mostly diaries) gets these gals excited. I’m sure my daughter would use this to store squishies and notes from friends. I think it’s so cute!

Touchland Hand Sanitizer Set, $45
We go through these things like crazy. She keeps one in her backpack, one in her dance bag, one in the car, etc. etc.

Bedside Caddy Organizer, $24
The amount of times we lose books, journals, eye masks, and lip balms in and around my daughter’s bed is insane. This actually looks so helpful. And so cute! Adding to cart.
