Looking for the Perfect Gift for Your Teen or Tween?
Can you believe that it’s THAT time of the year again? Weren’t we just talking about New Year’s goals and getting the house organized from the holidays?
Well, if you are wondering what to get the teens and tweens on your holiday list, once again we’ve compiled a gift guide that is full of some great options that are NOT gift cards or cash! Whether or not they know it, we promise they will LOVE any of these items. And… keep your eyes posted because starting today, we’re giving you a chance to win some of them!!
Staedtler Pens
For the artist in your life, they will love these fine drawing and coloring utensils. From markers to coloring pencils to molding clay to pencils, they will be able to spend endless hours imagining and creating!
We Are Knitters
We love, love these DIY knitting and crotchet kits from We Are Knitters. There are TONS of options to choose from all in varying skill levels – from newbie to old hat (hah!). The kits come complete with the yarn balls, needles, directions and even a label to personalize the finished product! Another great thing about WAK is that their site is full of videos to get your knitter started or through a stitch they need to learn!
Custom Jewelry from Simply Janelle Designs
Janelle’s work has been a favorite of ours for a long time and these two customized necklaces will show you why. Whether your daughter is heading off to college or you just want to remind her, the Home necklace is a unique way to remind her where she came from and where she’s always welcome. Our other favorite is the personalized photo charm necklace.. add a photo of her and the BFF, sisters, baby picture or even her school mascot and you have a piece of jewelry like no other!
WristBoom
Is there anything that teens and tweens love more than their music? What if they could get their groove on and not risk dropping their phone while doing it? Double bonus!! WRiSTBOOM gives you great sound without the constraints of wires, the unbearable weight of a typical speaker and the isolation of wearing headphones or earbuds. WRiSTBOOM conveniently connects via Bluetooth to Smart Phones, iPods, Tablets and Computers and comes in 6 vibrant colors.
You can order your WristBoom here!
Dearfoms Young & Fun Slippers
We’ve talked about Dearfoams and their initiative to STOMP out bullying before and you and your teens and tweens will LOVE their super-cute and comfy slippers. These aren’t your Grandma’s slippers – this collection is designed with kids in mind! Plus, every pair you buy, they will donate money up to $100,000 to the STOMP out Bullying campaign!

Those are excellent suggestions! Don’t forget books too–print or e-books. It’s easy to search online and purchase books specifically targeted for your particular tween or teen. Search YA or teen and also keywords for issues or interests in his or her life: bullying, dating, depression, eating disorders, divorce, disabilities like blind or deaf, family illness, blended families, sports, art, dance, theatre, suicide. Anything–positive to detrimental–that affects today’s young people. Thanks, and I always enjoy your blog!
Yes!! Books are always a great MUST for the holiday list!! I think we have a book list coming soon!
