Tweens are hard to shop for anyway, let alone at a time when some options are nixed given pre-Christmas delivery requirements. They’re not quite teenagers (but often think they are!) and don’t firmly fall into the children’s category. In fact, they operate at an awkward in-between that we’ve all been through.
If you’re still on the lookout for a great gift for the tweens in your life, look no further! Whether your tween is into sports, fashion, beauty, wellness, cooking, outdoor adventures or just relaxing, we’ve got you covered. With that in mind, scroll for 33 foolproof gifts to make this holiday extra special.
