Sharing our 2022 Christmas Gift Ideas for Tweens. Filled with favourite ideas, trusted products & loved gifts so you can shop in confidence for your tween.


We all know that tweens are notoriously difficult to buy for!
Not quite grown-up but not longer a child, they oscillate from toys to make-up, tech to teddies in the blink of an eye. So, to prepare our 2022 Christmas Gift Ideas for Tweens, we went straight to the horse’s mouth (so to speak) and asked a group of tweens, and their parents, what was on the Christmas list this year.
Scroll down for all the details and links. Happy Shopping!
