Gift Guide: Tween Girls
I had a special tween girl help me write this post! I think this age is one of the most fun ages in childhood. I love talking with Caroline like she is a mini adult and getting to enjoy her as she grows into her own as herself and with her little friends. She loves talking to a few of her friends on the phone (mine, she does not have one) and is into playing with makeup and doing her nails, but yet she still loves an afternoon of playing school and playing with her American Girls. It is overall just a fun age, caught in the middle of being all kid and the teen years ahead. With that said, you’ll notice how different her picks are in the guide above…from Lakeshore school kit, to make-up kits!
#1 and #2 Pink golf balls and a pink basketball are a must! #3 This a perfect book to nurture creativity. #4 Who doesn’t love Dolly Parton and how cute is this book?? #5 Scrunchies are big for all ages and I know Caroline’s grade of friends love them! #6 Everyone seems to love hydroflasks! #7 These Apple Airpods are on major sale and seem to be on all the wish lists for this age! #8 This travel case is a great gift for tweens, teens, and moms! #9 Caroline loves these!! Super big splurge, but I love for her to have what I have too! #10 I saw these barrettes a month ago and think they are just precious! They are 15% off today and order soon so they can ship out in time for Christmas! #11 This personalized phone case is precious…I want this one. Caroline does not have a phone, but I included it because I think it is just too cute! #12 and #17 How cute are these confetti desk accessories?!? #13 Caroline loves to cook and this new cookbook is a fun, easy cooking guide they can follow on their own! #14. Caroline and I get a book similar to this one each year that has mother ~ daughter activities we can do throughout the year. #15. I first saw these in Palm Beach and they are ADORABLE! We’re getting Caroline the “Beach” one and the “SPF” one. #16 These bracelets are precious for Caroline to give her friends as little friendship bracelets. You can choose from various hearts to the fun evil eye. Either way, you can look these up on Instagram on @paperannies. #18 Glamboxes are huge right now and I think Caroline will love to start organizing her fun, all CLEAN beauty products. #19 This all clean palette is a fun starter kit for young girls to play with…Caroline does not wear makeup, but I love it that she is interested and wants to sometimes put it on when we are here! #20 This “SPF” bag is perfect for girls for camps, after school sports, swim playdates, etc…sunscreen in style is a win ~ win for a tween! #21 How cute is this chair? I may just have to find a place for this for Caroline to be her reading chair. #22 I ordered this set for Caroline. It is onsale right now and perfect for an overnight bag. #23 This is a super cute, all clean lip gloss set by Tarte. #24 and #25 You can never go wrong with Lilly Pulitzer for this age group and I love it they are making pajamas now! Plus, this hat is perfect for Caroline to go running in during the spring and summer to keep the sun out of her face. #26 Lastly, when Caroline plays inside…her favorite thing to play is school with Sarah, so this set will be a hit that keeps her playing like a child as long as her heart desires!
