Gifts For Pre-Teens: Bring Your Tween Some Holiday Cheer With These Picks

From skincare to gaming consoles, there's something for every type of tween

Parents, older siblings and babysitters of tweens have likely noticed their interests are always changing. But there are so many awesome tween gifts you can shop this holiday season. Gamers will love this next-level gaming console, and don’t even get me started about how point-and-shoot digital cameras are back in style. Of course, we know tweens also love skincare these days, too—and we found the perfect set that’s skin-friendly and affordable.

Check out our roundup of top gifts for tweens, if you’re shopping for someone between the ages of 10 and 13. Chances are, they’re going to love each and every option on this list.

15 Gifts Tweens Will Love This Holiday Season

  • Forever In Style: Apparently UGGs never went out of style… can you believe that? And the Classic Ultra Mini Platform Boot looks just like the shoe we’ve always known and loved. But the extra short height and chunky little platform are extremely trendy right now… so get ’em while they’re hot — $170
  • Gamer Fun: Yes, pre-teens still love video games (and really, are you surprised?). Popular at the moment is the X-Box Series X, though shoppers, take note: It comes with just one wireless controller. So if you have siblings, consider getting an extra! — $600
  • Sock It To Me: Whether your kid plays sports or simply needs new socks, Nike Crew Socks are timeless (and super comfy). Right now, a pack of six is also going for 30% off. So snag them at this price while you still can, because it won’t last — $17
  • Cozy Style: A brand new hoodie always screams “luxury.” And although it technically comes in men’s sizes, Hanes’ hoodies look good on literally everyone. Choose from wide range of colors and sizes, and rest assured they’ll wear it ragged — $22
  • Popular: Musical theater fans and makeup enthusiasts will appreciate r.e.m. beauty’s Wicked: For Good palette, from Ariana Grande’s makeup line. It comes with three creamy coral colors that are smooth and buildable, as well as a complete brush set — $60
  • Complexion: While you might still be getting used to the fact that tweens love skincare, e.l.f.’s SKIN Holy Hydration! Hydrated Ever After Skincare Mini Kit is a great place to start. It’s super affordable, and best of all, it doesn’t contain any weird ingredients. It’ll just guarantee their faces are fresh as can be — $21
