Ultimate Gift Guide for Tween Girls
It’s that time of year again! I’ve kicked off my Christmas shopping and am on the hunt for the perfect gifts for my daughter. At 12 years old, she’s not quite a teen but definitely not a little girl anymore either. Being between the ages of 8 and 12 officially makes her a tween.
Thankfully, shopping for 12 year old girls turns out to be pretty fun! There’s so much cool stuff out there and I’ve managed to narrow it down to the best of the best. After all, I’m not sure my daughter even realizes she needs a need a crystal hedgehog, but she will once she sees it!
