The Best 12 Year Old Girl Gift Ideas She’ll Love

It’s not lost on me that my little kids are getting older. With easy passing year, we are getting closer to having full fledged teenagers. For now, my two tweens are still talking to me, still saying “I love you”, and still think I’m actually “cool.”

Whether you’re the mom of tween girls or have other family members or friends who have tweens, you’ll know that finding the perfect gift for them can be difficult.

The Tween Years

The tween years are surprisingly a great season of life. Tweens aren’t considered a young adult, but at the same time they want more space and independence.

They crave to have cell phones, social media, screen time, and all that comes with a digital world. Yet, they still find themselves playing with their toys from being little girls.

I honestly have love this stage of life. However, it certainly comes with some challenges.

I have a wide age range of kids. From 4 years old to almost 12 years old. The developmental stage that my older kids are at is completely different from my younger two.

I am always looking at ways to keep my middle-school age kids engaged with the whole family, but still allow them to have some great options at establishing a bit more independence.

Whether your 12 year-old-girl is into the latest trends or would like a more practical gift, you’ll find everything in this list of gifts to help you choose the best gifts for her.

The Best 12 Year Old Girl Gift Ideas – My Picks!

Last year was the first year I noticed that my oldest daughter started to really clue in on caring less about toys and more about the latest fashion trends.

I can’t believe that instead of asking for a new plush toy, she’d rather have Taylor Swift bracelets and Ugg slippers.

When this switch happens, it is sudden. Instead of having a hard time with the change, I’m embracing it. It’s been fun watching her grow into a teen girl and develop her own style.

So if you are mourning that young age group, I promise you it’s not all hormones and sass.

You may not need a toy insider anymore. Instead, this gift guide will help you find the right gift for that 12 year old girl in your life.
