Shopping for 11-year-old or 12-year-old girls can be difficult. Their interests may be beginning to change, and keeping up with the trends can seem like trying to catch lightning in a bottle. If you’re looking for a gift for an 11-year-old, here are some ideas inspired by my daughter’s own Christmas list.
Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm: Girls around this age love Summer Fridays. My own daughter has a collection of almost all the flavors. You can’t go wrong with a gift set for the girl in your life.
Abercrombie Kids clothing: My daughter has recently become more interested in Abercrombie’s kids’ clothing, especially sweat sets, sweaters and hoodies. The “preppy” aesthetic is in as well, and girls seem to love anything with bows on it.
Starface pimple patches: This generation of girls has become more interested in skincare. Girls this age are known to even wear these star-shaped patches out in public. Consider gifting some skincare products, especially if they are already dealing with breakouts. Always check whether the ingredients are safe for their skin, and consult a dermatologist if you’re unsure.
Clay bead kit: Friendship bracelets and personalized accessories are still in style. My daughter loves making bracelets for her friends in their favorite colors. A clay bead kit usually comes with a variety of colors and charms.
Kendra Scott jewelry: Pieces like this Elisa Gold Pendant Necklace in Iridescent Drusy are on my 11-year-old’s list this year.
Sol de Janeiro mists: Sixth-grade girls love their fragrance mists, especially from this brand. Luckily, you can find many gift set options so they can mix up their scents.
High-Top Converse: Sneakers are a practical gift that any middle-schooler would like. My daughter specifically asked for a white pair, but you can also find fun colors.
Beats headphones: If your 11- or 12-year-old loves music, a good pair of headphones is a thoughtful gift. They also are helpful when doing homework on an iPad or laptop.
LEGO sets: LEGOs are still popular at this age — and any age! My daughter loves Wicked, so that’s a perfect option, but you can find so many to match their interest.
