Momfessionals: Teen/Tween Girl Gift Guide

There are a limited number of things tthat I feel like I can speak confidently about - and teen/tween girl shopping is on my short list ;) Credit it to YEARS of spending my 9-5 with girls this age coupled with living with one and, dare I say, I would consider myself an expert on this topic!

Rather than break things down into "under $20" or "stocking stuffer" or whatever.... I'm going to put everything in one giant post.

First up - midliner markers. TRUST. They're using them for everything at school and they last for a LONG time. They're taking notes with them, writing notes with them, and doing everything in between.

Griffin loves ALL THINGS COZY and this top from Aerie would be right up her alley. She typically wears the XXS and is a 12-ish in girls. Their leggings are also her favorite - they're SO SOFT and wash and wear perfectly.

Everyone is LOVING Jellycat right now and these bag charms are DARLING and the perfect way for them to have a Jellycat that doesn't live on their bed.

But if they DO want a Jellycat for their room you can't go wrong with a Bartholamew Bear ;)

Who doesn't love a fun notebook??!! This one is extra sturdy and I love that the cover is thicker so it almost serves as a clipboard (I have this in two colors I use for school stuff and love!)

Now that Griffin has stopped growing like a weed I feel better about buying her things knowing that she won't outgrow them by this time next year. That said - I've created a Monster and she LOVES In My Sundays pajamas ;)

THESE SLIPPERS are the cutest things of all time! The dinosaurs are precious! They're quirky enough that I think she'd LOVE THEM...

... and I KNOW that she'd love these ;)

If the girl on your list doesn't have an OWALA then this would be PERFECT! I've raved about OWALA for a while now but they really are the best!

These scrunchies are perfect for sleeping and keeping their cute styles in better shape overnight for quicker mornings. Amen.

And while you're at it you might as well add a satin pillowcase....

You'll never convince me that there's a better inexpensive gloss than the NYX butter gloss. So much fun to tie onto a gift, throw into a stocking, have on hand for gift exchanges, etc.

These stickers are so much fun to put everywhere...

This tote bag comes in 25+ colors and is UNDER $10! It's a perfect alternative to the Lulu shopping bags they love to carry ;) and they're cute!

Tree hut scrubs are a fan fave and I love that you can add them to your online grocery order for easy gifting ;)

These gel pens are the cutest, have the FINEST tip, and never seem to run out of ink.

I would be willing to bet a large amount of money that more than half the girls in my classes have this brush in their backpacks ;)

Griffin got this perfume last year for Christmas and LOVES IT

... and is also a big fan of this one that she used her gift cards to buy.

A disco ball planter is a WIN because 1) plants and 2) the magic that a disco ball creates in a room is THE BEST!!! The light sparkles!

This deodorant spray is a MUST...

... and these instax mini acrylic frames are so sweet. I talked about personalizing them for an extra fun touch in this post.

Griffin got this CD player a couple of Christmases ago and has loved building her CD collection. I love that it's a non-streaming option for her to have in her room.
