The Best Gifts for Tweens to Teens: Holiday Gift Guide 2022

Tweens can be pretty challenging to buy during the holidays , especially when almost everything they want is app or tablet related. As parents of this age group, we get it. We, like you, have to research and give thought to the gift- it doesn’t matter if it is some small item or a significant gift- it all needs to be a hit and it wouldn’t hurt if we are also happy with the gift!
These  gifts are all items we adore and so will your tween or teen!
