10 Gift Ideas for Tween Girls

Have you ever been invited to a birthday party or special event and you were expected to bring a gift for one of the children? The only problem is that maybe you are never around the child and have absolutely no idea what they like. This is an awesome opportunity to show off your cool factor or it could be a perfect recipe for disaster.

10 Gift Ideas For Tween Girls

Here are 10 Gift Ideas for tween girls. You can find these gifts online at Amazon or variations at most big box stores in your neighborhood. Interested in some gift ideas for tween boys? I’ve got you covered there too! Just hop over to my friend Hobbies on a Budget who is sharing gift ideas for tween boys!

10 Gift Ideas for a Tween Girl

Cool Journals
Sweet Years Memory Book
Phone Cases

Hippy Bath Robe
Flower Squishy Pillow
Rubber Loom Bands
Fashion Leather Bracelets
Crazy Pens
Nail Art & Polish
Plush Animals

Gifts Ideas Not Just For Tweens

My daughter is no longer a tween, but I remember when she loved all of these items listed. I bet she would still like that Hippy Bath Robe and she is 17. She also still really likes journals, cool phone cases, nail polish and pretty writing utensils. So, many of these gifts are not just great gift ideas for tween girls, but can also be used as they grow older.

And tons of people love stuffed animals! I have some that I have had for years and I still buy one on occasion now. When we went to Myrtle Beach recently, I bought a turtle stuffed animal from Ripley’s Aquarium. There is nothing comfier than a pile of fluffy stuffed animals and pillows to snuggle. ๐Ÿ™‚

    I don’t have a teen girl, or even a daughter at all, but I would totally love that robe for ME!

    anything from Justice.. tweens girls love…. even pre tweens….

    In my book, teens are always looking for a gift card. Especially if I don’t know what they are into!

    • Dawn McAlexander says

      April 30, 2014 at 1:19 am

      That is definitely true. Kids love to have money to spend.

  4. Scott says

    April 29, 2014 at 2:55 pm

    I have two tweens and can say that they change phone cases as often as underwear. You can’t go wrong with a replacement case!

  5. Carly Bellard says

    April 29, 2014 at 5:07 pm

    I have no idea what is good for a tween! I have a 5 year old girl and a 2 year old boy. this is a great post- I will save it for the next time I need to buy for my nieces. I always default to giftcards!

  6. Katy Rawson says

    April 29, 2014 at 6:17 pm

    You are so right about picking gifts for other people’s kids. I do depend on my daughter to help make that choice. However, she is still pretty young and leans toward picking what SHE would like instead of her friend.

    • Dawn McAlexander says

      April 30, 2014 at 1:17 am

      Hahaha! I think that most kids do that when they are young. And some people still do even when they are older. ๐Ÿ™‚

  7. Shell says

    April 29, 2014 at 6:36 pm

    These are great ideas. I hate when I’m not sure what to get!

  8. Meagan says

    April 29, 2014 at 6:44 pm

    What a fun group of gifts; I would have loved them as a tween! I wish I had a girl!

  9. Brandi says

    April 29, 2014 at 7:52 pm

    Tween girls are hard to shop for. They are at that in between phase. It can be fun though. My go to places are Justice, Claire’s, Old Navy, and Bath & Body Works.

  10. Alesha @ Full Time Mama says

    April 29, 2014 at 7:56 pm

    Those are all great ideas, not just for tweens but for “almost tweens” too! My daughter is 8 and LOVES all of those things!

    • Dawn McAlexander says

      April 30, 2014 at 1:16 am

      That is awesome. My daughter has always loved journals and writing so they would have worked for her at any age – and still do. ๐Ÿ™‚

  11. Louida says

    April 29, 2014 at 8:59 pm

    I don’t have any teen girls yet. But I will say it is hard to find gifts for my daughter’s friends birthdays. They have a party to go to the day before Mother’s day and I have to find their friend a gift so thanks for the tips!

  12. Debra says

    April 29, 2014 at 9:32 pm

    My daughter is only 4 and she’s already into collecting cool covered journals. She just scribbles and colors in them now, but I see journaling in her future!

  13. Debra says

    April 29, 2014 at 9:33 pm

    My daughter is only 4 and she loves nicely decorated journals. She just scribbles or colors in them at this point, but I’m sure she’ll be writing down all her deepest thoughts and feelings in one one day.

  14. Rachael says

    April 29, 2014 at 9:50 pm

    These are some great gift ideas. I’ll have to keep these in mind for my nieces.

  15. Jessica says

    April 29, 2014 at 10:34 pm

    These are terrific ideas for tweens! I have actually seen a lot of these while out and about shopping. The tween years can be such a fun age. I hope my daughter is into all of this cool stuff by then!

  16. Maggie @ The Love Nerds says

    April 29, 2014 at 10:37 pm

    You could buy my niece a box of phone cases, and she would be so excited!!

  17. Liz Mays says

    April 29, 2014 at 11:17 pm

    I’m not even a tween and I still love pretty journals like that. These are great ideas!

  18. Christie says

    April 30, 2014 at 12:31 am

    My tween niece would approve of this list. Especially those loom bands!

  19. Veronica says

    April 30, 2014 at 12:36 am

    That list does look like a great set of selections for a tween girl. The phone case is super cute

  20. Cam | Bibs and Baubles says

    April 30, 2014 at 12:38 am

    The phone case is super cute. Is it wrong that I would totally carry that?

  21. Pauline C. says

    April 30, 2014 at 4:12 am

    Love the ideas! Great collection especially the phone cases ๐Ÿ˜‰

  22. Jennifer Bullock {MommyBKnowsBest} says

    You just reminded me that we need to get a gift for a party this weekend!! Love these tween ideas.

  23. Melinda says

    April 30, 2014 at 10:47 am

    purses are good at this age too. my daughter had tons

  24. Jaime says

    April 30, 2014 at 11:09 am

    I have two tween goddaughters and I think the memory book and journals would be perfect for them. All of these are really great ideas!

  25. Tracey says

    April 30, 2014 at 11:16 am

    I don’t have any kids but I do have a tween cousin to shop for! The journals are a good choice for gifts!

  26. valmg @ Mom Knows It All says

    April 30, 2014 at 11:45 am

    My niece is a tween. It can be challenging to get the right things. Nice list!

  27. Jenn @ The Rebel Chick says

    April 30, 2014 at 11:45 am

    No tweens here but you never know who you’ll have to get a gift for. This is a great starting point!

  28. Keikilani says

    April 30, 2014 at 12:09 pm

    Been a long time since I was a tween and I have no girls. But this seems like a pretty great list.

  29. Rosey says

    April 30, 2014 at 12:48 pm

    I have a teen girl and you’ve hit spot on with the gifts for even her age. She’s got a phone cover (panda) like that bee that she loves, and the loom bands occupy her for loooong stretches of creative time. ๐Ÿ™‚

  30. Autumn says

    April 30, 2014 at 1:03 pm

    The journal idea is spot on! Tween girls have their secrets, too ๐Ÿ˜‰ I used to write down everything – still do. It’s hard shopping for younger people, because styles have changed so much over the years.

  31. Amanda Her says

    April 30, 2014 at 1:49 pm

    Great gift ideas! I’d also throw in some sheer lip glosses. My daughter loved those when she was a tween.

  32. krystal says

    April 30, 2014 at 2:09 pm

    I loved writing in notebooks when I was a teen! Great list of ideas.

  33. Dina says

    April 30, 2014 at 2:45 pm

    iTunes cards, clothes and books to read. ๐Ÿ™‚ My girl is only 8 but she loves most of what you’ve talked about today.

  34. Amanda says

    April 30, 2014 at 3:16 pm

    Those are all great gift suggestions! I have a few birthdays coming up so I will be checking these out!

  35. Toni says

    April 30, 2014 at 3:45 pm

    these are all great gift ideas. I had a journal and loved it! I think I am going to get my daughter one.

  36. Ashley M says

    April 30, 2014 at 4:10 pm

    Funny, my daughter is only 3 but she LOVES diaries. She fills them quickly and we buy them often.

    • Dawn McAlexander says

      May 1, 2014 at 3:31 am

      Oh that sounds really cute! My daughter has always loved journals and writing, too. ๐Ÿ™‚

  37. Chelsea says

    April 30, 2014 at 4:25 pm

    Journals and any sort of stationery/notebooks/etc were my FAVORITE things to get when I was in my tween years! I loved keeping a diary ๐Ÿ™‚

  38. Tess says

    April 30, 2014 at 10:39 pm

    Tweens are very hard to buy for. I remember that my mom and I would get in many disagreements over clothes. lol

  39. Cassie @ Southeast by Midwest says

    April 30, 2014 at 11:35 pm

    These are all such great ideas. I still love getting journals and nail polish ๐Ÿ˜‰

  40. Virginia @thatbaldchick says

    That bee phone case is so cute! Definitely buzz worthy!

  41. Felicia says

    May 2, 2014 at 12:02 am

    These are great ideas. I remember how much I loved my diary.

  42. Sandy Cain says

    May 3, 2014 at 10:41 am

    Super ideas! I used to make scrubs, soaps, lotion, all girly stuff, etc….and I discovered something: scent it with strawberry, and a tween will love it. Seriously. I think the strawberry scent fascination is just a prelude to puberty.

  43. Christina S says

    May 3, 2014 at 4:02 pm

    Great ideas! I have two step-sisters that are tweens now. They’re definitely a challenge to buy for at times.

  44. Sherry Compton says

    May 15, 2014 at 7:35 am

    Great fun ideas! Cool colors and designs are perfect for Tweens. Decorated notebooks, unique pens, journals….all are important. Plus you have popular items like bracelets…loom bracelets, inspirational bracelets, and wrap styles are all very in. Stay up to date and keep it fun. Tweens will love it.

  45. Katherine G from La La Land Mommy says

    I love this list. My daughter is a teenager and I know she would Love a lot if things on this list.
