These gifts for tweens will make any girl happy. From items to help them be creative, to inspire them to start taking charge of their space and style, these tween girl gift ideas are fun and will be loved by this age that’s so hard to buy for!
Before we dive in, let’s chat about what a tween is. My daughter is 10 and she is considered a tween now. Tweens are that age between being and elementary school kid and being a teenager. Think 10, 11 and 12. Sometimes 9 classifies are a tween too. This age can be tricky to buy presents for – especially if they’re girls! They might still like toys, but don’t want to admit it. They might be interested in older teen things but truly not be ready. So for a few year, they live in this in between space.
However, I have to say that besides the sass, I kind of love this age. I can see so much of my daughter’s personality coming out in ways that make me proud and excited to be her mom every single day. So, this list of tween girl gifts is inspired by her. Hopefully something on here will make your tween happy too.
Room decor
First, I started with bedroom decor for the tween girl gifts. This year (and a little of last year) my daughter has take a true active role in creating her bedroom space. If I ever get my act together, I’ll show you the room makeover that we started this summer. We are just now putting the final touches in the space. However, her being interested int hat has inspired this part of the list for gifts for tween girls. Basically, cozy and colorful decor is a must for her. I’m sure it will be for your tween too. Even if they don’t love pastel colors, a lot of these items on the list below come in a variety of colors to make their room – or a space in a shared room – a sanctuary.
Creativity and adventure
I’ve included a lot of books on the list of tween girl gifts below because I truly believe books inspire our imagination and creativity. My daughter has really taken an active interest in reading and she loves a good series so there’s several on the list. I also included a smaller Cricut machine, a camera and some air dry clay for the tween girl gift ideas. I have a Cricut and she’s really interested in creating her own bags and shirts with it. This year I also started pottery and she’s been interested in that as well. Anything to get her creating and planning adventures in her day – even if it’s just through characters – is okay by me.
Personal hygiene and nicknacks
So if you have a tween, you may have noticed you sometimes have to remind them to do things like brush their teeth, shower and put on deodorant. You may also have noticed they love nicknacks that seem to clutter up a space. I’ve tried to guide my daughter on all these things and some of the tween girl gifts speak straight both of these. Things like the bath bombs are a fun way to get them clean and the caboodle, shelving and photo hangers are a great way to encourage organization.

Older kids can be so hard to shop for, but these are lovely ideas! Some even I would like!
Teenagers are so hard to give gifts to but I love your idea of room decor. The picture hangers with lights are always a great choice.
Such great ideas. Having a boy years ago, I’ve never had to shop for girls. Now with a granddaughter who is almost 2, I need to start researching what the best things are to get her. It’s been a long time since I’ve shopped for toys! ha/ha
I usually did the room decor when my daughter was at that age. I never knew what else to get for her because her tastes changed so frequently at that time.
So cute. My daughter is 15 and would actually love a lot of these. Especially that decor!
I love that ice cream hamper. It needs to be in my exercise room.
As motivation? lol
