Shopping for gifts for tweens and teens this holiday season? With older kids being able to find new interests online or through their friends at school, and TikTok trends coming and going faster than you can keep up with, it can feel like a daunting task! The good news is that it really doesn’t have to be super difficult: At this stage in their lives, tweens and teens are trying to figure out who they are and what they like, so the best way to help them feel secure is to support them on that journey and find gifts that encourage them to explore their sense of self-expression, while also learning how to engage with the world around them.
We’ve compiled a list of toys, games, and collectibles that are sure to please the ever-changing tastes of your favorite tween to teenaged kid. Whether it’s collectibles with the ability to hold your tech, social games that they’ll want to play, or craft kits that feel more grown-up, we’ve made sure to do the hard work of finding these and organizing them into a neat little list so you don’t have to spend hours upon hours looking for the right gift. If you’re shopping for other age groups, too, check out our Holiday Gift Guide for more ideas!
