Our Top gift ideas for Tweens for Christmas 2024
Best beauty gifts for tween girls 2024
Beauty gifts won’t be a top choice for everyone and yes, I agree it’s quite heartbreaking that the beauty obesssion starts so early. However, if your tween gets excited by all things Sephora and is nagging you for some of the trending beauty gifts, these brands are a great place to start.
Sol de Janeiro
Whether you opt for their beautiful fragrances inspired by Brazillian culture, jet set travel bundles or the slightly humorously named Bum Bum Body Cream, Sol de Janeiro is a must have gift for tween girls. If you prefer to keep things budget friendly, we recommend the gift sets. Although stock is moving quickly, Boots are expected to get more before Christmas.
Bubble
Bubble Skincare is a skincare company that creates affordable, high-quality products for young skin. Not to be confused with bubble-t (another skincare brand), Bubble have a fun range of brightly coloured bottles including the ever popular Bubble Slam Dunk Hydrating Cream, which has proved popular with tweens due to the little flower shape it makes when pressed.
Starface
Back when I was a kid, having a zit was like the end of the world? Now, just stick a star on it and don’t give a damn. I LOVE Starface products and so does my tween. Available in a choice of kits, colours and styles (but nearly always a star) these star patches are designed to absorb fluid, reduce inflammation, and most importantly, prevent unhygienic picking which can make skin flare ups worse.
Laneige
Bit of a luxury one this, and while expensive, would be a proper treat for your tween at Christmas. Their lip sleeping masks have proved popular along social media and are great for keeping lips hydrated during winter.
If you prefer a more general beauty themed gift for tweens this brushworks Dream Blend Set is perfect for those ‘GRWM’ (Get Ready With Me) videos! The set features a fluffy cloud headband, two blending drops and a powder puff duo and on wednesdays? We wear pink!
Heatless curlers
Why spend hours curling your hair when you can have your hart styled while you sleep? Heatless curlers are lots of fun with tween girls, providing a stress free (and non-electrical) hair curling solution!
Claw clips
My daughter says do NOT call them crocodile clips, but claw clips will always go down well. There are also very specific ways to style them – check out instagram stories for lots of hair style inspiration for school!
For all other tween beauty best buys, we love Beauty Box which tend to have great prices and trending sections so you can easily identify the popular picks!
Best gaming gifts for tweens 2024
Fifa 2025
If your tween is constantly glued to their Playstation 4 or Nintendo Switch, gaming gifts are always likely to be popular. You could opt for ‘in spend’ vouchers such as Robux or V-Bucks for Fortnite, or treat your tween to a brand new game.
For football fans, FIFA 2025 has to be a top pick, which features women’s football teams for the first time ever!
Super Mario Party Jamboree
If you prefer a game that the whole family can play together, Super Mario Party is an excellent choice for kids and tweens, packed full of mini-games that are sure to bring out even Grandma’s competitive side! We’re HUGE fans of the first two Mario Party games, but Mario is back for 2024, with the NEW Super Mario Party Jamboree. With seven new and two returning boards, this is Mario Party’s biggest game ever, with over 110 mini games to enjoy with friends and family.
For a fun gift to add to a tween’s gaming set up, these Cable Guy holders are super cute. There are LOADS of designs available – from Deadpool to Fall Guys, with outstretched arms for holding your tween’s mobile phone or gaming controller. Officially licensed and sitting at 8.5 inches tall, these officially licensed holders are compatible with most types of smartphones and console controllers, including the next-gen PlayStation 5 DualSense, Xbox Series S/X and all iPhones.
While it’s a different kind of game, The 1% Club: The Board Game is a fun family game that can put your tweens logic and problem solving to the test. Just like the popular Saturday night TV show, players must compete to join the illusive 1% club, by answering questions that are less about general knowledge or intelligence, but more about how your brain works. We LOVE playing this on Sat nights, a fun game the whole family can get involved with.
Best artistic gifts for tweens 2024
Ohuhu Alcohol Markers
Ohuhu Alcohol markers definitely don’t come cheap, but they make a great gift for tweens and a fun, mindful activity. These alcohol based markers make colouring in an absolute dream, and have risen to fame over recent months due to the success of Coco Colouring’s facebook group, who recommend them whole heartedly!
Cosy Colouring
For a relaxing, mindful (and demure!) activity for tweens, team up the Ohuhu markers with this fab Coco Wyo Cosy Christmas colouring book – the first Coco Wyo book with Penguin. Your tweens will love colouring relaxing scenes of snow-covered rooftops, cosy fireplaces and festive joy.
Best aesthetic gift for tween girls 2024
GIrls love hanging out in their bedrooms, so these gifts make a fun way to personalise their space, with a modern, preppy vibe.
Chair cushion
Perfect for snuggling up on their tablet, with a book or simply relaxing after school, these cosy chair cushions are suprisingly comfortable – be warned – you may end up wanting one yourself!
Mini fridge
Whether they store their skincare, midnight treats or cans of pop, a mini fridge is likely to be high on your tween’s wishlist. My daughter loves storing face masks for a girly pamper session! This So Chill Mini Fridge can be personalised with the included stickers to match their personality. It can also double up as a travel fridge during family holidays!
