Gifting tweens can be a challenge, as they are no longer kids, but not quite teenagers either. Here are some tips to help you make the perfect gift for your tween!
1. Consider their interests: Tweens have strong opinions and distinct interests that may change quickly. Brainstorm ideas based on what your child enjoys doing or talking about. Think about activities they like to do with friends or family, favorite movies or shows, hobbies, books and music genres that appeal to them.
2. Make it personal: Personalized gifts show thought and care went into choosing the present and will mean more to your tween than something generic off the shelf. You could get them a gift card with an uplifting message written inside; select items related to their favorite characters; customize jewelry with meaningful words; or give them artwork featuring their name in bright colors – all great ways of expressing how much you appreciate them!
3. Get creative: DIY projects can be fun for both parent and tween while also making sure the gift is one-of-a-kind! Try building a terrarium together out of everyday materials such as glass containers, mosses, rocks and succulents; creating friendship bracelets from colorful threads; decorating flower pots with paint pens; constructing homemade board games using paper boards & dice – these sorts of activities foster closeness between parents & children while giving thoughtful presents at the same time!
4. Shop online: Shopping online allows you access to unique items not found in stores plus convenience when it comes to delivery timescales & costs - so why not browse through virtual shops for cool clothes & accessories? Or check out subscription boxes filled with surprises tailored specifically towards teens’ tastes (such as beauty products).
5 Finally don’t forget experiences!: Experiences create lasting memories which is why gifting things like movie tickets, concert tickets or even cooking classes might just be the most special present of all!
