What to Look for in Gifts for12 Year Old Girls
Are you wondering what to buy a 12-year-old girl? She is in the last year of her pre-teens, commonly referred to as the tween years. These years are when they straddle the likes and wants of children and what is coming for the teen years. She may still like a few games, art projects, and toys. Still, she is probably more interested in clothing, jewelry, accessories, bedroom décor, and electronics at this age.
Although she is not officially a teenager yet, the CDC classifies 12-year-old children as young teens for the milestones they are reaching and the changes in their lives. Children this age have many different social and physical changes. Because they are changing and growing as little humans, it is crucial to consider this when shopping for them.
For instance, a present you gave them a year or 2 ago is probably not something they would ask for today. They are growing up quickly at this point, and the things they want may be different. Consider this when shopping for them. Understand who they are today and not who they were a few months ago or last Christmas or the one before that.
In the first paragraph of what many 12-year-old girls want, we mentioned things like clothing, jewelry, accessories, and bedroom décor items? That is true, but it is also true that it is only what most girls this age want, not all. Think about who she is, not just her age.
Does she love music? Is reading her most significant pastime? Is she artistic? Does she have a bestie or a group of besties she does everything with? Really consider who she is when shopping.
Even if she is getting to the age of loving clothing, jewelry, accessories, and bedroom décor, do you know what her style is? Her style is not necessarily defined by the clothing and jewelry she wears now or by what her bedroom looks like. Her parents probably had a lot to say with all the items she owns, so if you buy these types of things, make sure these are what she wants.
Find out if she needs something specific (hoodies, leggings, hoop earrings, studs, chokers, throw pillows, etc.). She probably has particular things in mind!
