Preteen Girl Gift Ideas – Caboodle

I’m not sure about you, but my tweens are becoming obsessed with makeup. They don’t wear it often, and they don’t wear it to school. Nonetheless, they love to have it and play with it! The ’80s/’90s are returning, and Caboodles are back in style! The girls love having a place to store and organize their makeup. My other daughter, who isn’t as into makeup, likes to use it to keep self-care products like deodorant, hair brush, hair ties, etc. It’s easily portable between my house and their other parents whenever they want to! This makes a great Christmas or birthday gift for a tween girl.

Preteen Girl Gift Ideas – Bluetooth Headphones & Case

A set of good headphones is another must for any preteen-girl gift guide. We got these headphones for both of our girls a couple of Christmas ago, and I love them. I even ended up getting a pair for myself. At $39.99, they are affordable compared to other wireless options and very durable. We’ve gone through many headphones over the years, and it is usually always the cord that causes the headphones to go first.

If you do come upon a situation where you need a cord (such as plugging into the screens on airplanes or if you forgot to charge them), they do come with a cable that can be used in those situations! The headphones come with a pouch for storage, but we bought this separate case that perfectly fits the headphones and any accompanying cords. The girls take this case with us any time we travel!

Preteen Girl Gift Ideas – Adult Size Scooter

We reached the point in recent years where the girls were ready to move on from the kid scooters they’ve had for years. These scooters have larger wheels and a higher weight limit. However, the girls have loved riding them around the neighborhood. They can even hang them to the middle school when they want to. This model comes with a hand brake as well as the foot brake. Since we live in Minnesota, this would make a better birthday present for a tween because most of our birthdays are in the warmer months!

Preteen Girl Gift Ideas – Coloring Books, Gel Pens, or Colored Pencils

Depending on your tween, these gifts for tweens can be a huge hit. My daughter loves art, drawing, and of course, her gel pens. Coloring is great for calming down and relaxing, besides watching YouTube videos on her iPad.

Wreck This Journal

If you want a unique gift for a teenage girl, my daughters have both requested and loved the Wreck This Journal. A good friend of mine has said it’s one of her go-to gifts for this age group! Here is a description from Amazon. “In this world full of anxiety, stress, and depression, people forget to smile, and that’s the exact reason we created this journal; we want people to smile and be happy. So we created this journal to do all those things that the world will tell you not to do, Things like – throwing this journal out of the window, frying it in the pan, crumbling it into pieces, beating it with a stick – just for the sake of that little moment of happiness. But, believe it or not, we all enjoy destroying things, and that’s the principle behind this journal.”

Bluetooth Speaker or Shower Speaker

Unfortunately, I have one of those 12-year-olds who acts as if I’m asking her to jump off a bridge every time I tell her to shower. But, as we all know, 12 years old is prime time to be needing to shower more often! So this seemed like a great gift to make showering a little more fun with the music she loves! The first one we’ve used before has a suction cup to attach to your shower wall and easily connects to any Bluetooth device. So you can adjust the volume and skip songs right from the speaker while you’re showering!

Bath Bomb Set

Although my daughter typically acts as if she’s getting her teeth pulled when forced to shower, I can usually convince her to take a relaxing bath with a bath bomb. Bath bombs add fun, color, and beautiful scents to your bath and are great for any preteen girl!

Large Bluetooth Speaker with Spinning Party Lights & Karaoke Effects

This one is a little more expensive, but it is definitely on my wish list! I first learned about it from Jordan Page over at Fun Cheap or Free; her family uses it constantly. My daughter loves singing, which would be a great gift. With the party light and the microphone, this would be great for parties, sleepovers, or just fun with the family! I’ve updated the list with some more affordable options as well.

Clothes

Of course, there are always clothes for preteen girls! Both of my girls are much more into their clothing and style now, and although some styles I don’t understand, of course, there are still lots of cute things out there. Lululemon, of course, is all the rage with teen girls. So if that is in your budget, go for it. I have also linked some best-selling Amazon Lulu dupes for a more reasonably priced option. Many of the items I have listed have been on my daughters’ wishlists at one time or another!

Bean Bag Chair

This is also on my wish list! A super soft, comfy bean bag chair for the bedroom or TV room. I’ve been working on setting up an area for the girls to go and hang out because our townhouse can start to feel very small when we’re all on top of each other. So these would make a great addition to that room!
