10 Awesome Christmas Gift Ideas for a Tween Girl
1. DIY Craft Kits
Tween girls love getting creative, and a DIY craft kit is a perfect way to keep her busy while also allowing her to express herself.
Both our daughters have gotten hours of entertainment out of this clay bead bracelet making kit, and it is so inexpensive!
Whether it’s friendship bracelet making, tie-dye kits, or painting sets, craft kits provide hours of fun and let her make something unique.
2. Instax Mini Camera
The Instax Mini Camera is a popular gift for tweens who love to snap photos of their friends, pets, or nature. It prints instant photos, and there are lots of fun accessories available, like cute film packs and cases.
My sister-in-law recently visited and took several pictures of our kiddos with her Instax camera. My daughter loved how it printed out the images right away – so vintage!
It’s a great way for her to capture memories in a fun, tangible way.
This kit comes with a lot of fun accessories.
3. Journaling Set
If she loves writing or doodling, a journaling set (like this one) could be the perfect gift. Look for a beautiful journal with fun accessories like colorful pens, stickers, and washi tape.
She can use it to write down her thoughts, draw, or keep a personal diary.
And speaking of journaling, a friend recently recommended this mother-daughter diary. It a journal that facilitates conversations between mom and daughter by asking questions and giving prompts.
My daughter and I pass it back and forth, and I love seeing what she shares and responding! It’s perfect if you have a child that is a bit more reserved and prefers to write down her thoughts.
4. Bluetooth Speaker
A small, portable Bluetooth speaker is ideal for the music-loving tween. Whether she’s listening to her favorite songs, podcasts, or audiobooks, a fun, brightly colored speaker can add a little more joy to her room or playtime.
Some even come with lights or waterproof features for added fun. We like this one because its waterproof and my daughter likes to take it outside.
5. Charm Bracelet Kit
Tweens often love personalized accessories, and a charm bracelet kit lets her create her own jewelry. She can mix and match different charms to reflect her personality and interests, from animals to sports or favorite symbols.
This one has loads of fun and unique charms. It’s a great way for her to wear something truly her own.
6. LED String Lights with Photo Clips
Help her decorate her room with a string of LED lights that have clips for photos. She can hang pictures of her friends, family, or favorite memories, and the lights will add a cozy glow to her space.
Our daughter uses this one not just for pictures but also her favorite drawings.
It’s a trendy way to add personality to her room decor.
7. Sketchbook and Drawing Supplies
For the budding artist, a high-quality sketchbook along with an art drawing kit (like this one) with pencils, markers, or colored pencils is a thoughtful gift.
Encouraging her to nurture her creative side will provide hours of entertainment!
8. Water Bottle & Stickers
Anyone else’s kids obsessed with adding stickers to their water bottles? A cute, generic water bottle is a practical but fun gift. Add in some stickers and let her go to town decorating it herself.
Our daughter is obsessed with animals so we got these stickers for her last birthday and paired it with a large inexpensive water bottle from Walmart. There are tons of sticker options on Amazon!
Not only is it great for staying hydrated at school, sports, or around the house, but she’ll love having something uniquely hers.
9. Bath Bombs and Skincare Sets
Most tween girls are starting to get into self-care, and a set of bath bombs, fun face masks, or gentle skincare products can make her feel grown up.
My daughters and I recently took a girls’ trip together, and they both had so much fun with our “spa” evening in our hotel.
Look for fun scents and colorful bath bombs that fizz in the water but area also non-toxic—we like these ones.
10. Books for Tween Girls
If she loves reading, a new book or a series tailored to her age group can make an excellent gift. Some popular choices for tweens include Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, or newer favorites like The Land of Stories. Books not only provide a great escape but help build her imagination and love for reading.
There are so many fun Christmas gift ideas for a tween girl out there! Whether she’s into crafts, music, or simply relaxing with a good book, these Christmas gift ideas are sure to bring a smile to her face and make this holiday season one to remember.
