Gifts for Tweens {ideas 2016}

Gifts for Teens

Gifts for Tweens

– Romy is 9 1/2 now and I can see that her interests and taste are changing. This time before they become teenagers. This time where they are not children anymore… too old for toys and too young for boys… or at least not interested at all in our case.
And I love this. I love the talks we have now. Her curiosity and personality that takes more and more shape.

When your kids were small / below eight you were usually confronted with many shops, things, toys, accessories and more. Probably more than one can need and digest. And then the overwhelming kids world starts to fade. There is less and there is a little gap for these cute 9-12 years old. But there are great things!

Here is my list of great gift ideas that I would buy without a doubt for my own tween.

The last one in November {Friday list}

Advent Calendar DIY
Advent Calendar {DIY idea} found on VT Wonen.

Can you believe that we will light the first Advent candle this Sunday? The year is nearly over… I am not ready yet. Are you?

I promised the kids that we will get the Christmas boxes upstairs and start with some decorating. We have a Christmas coloring poster in the kitchen and the kids add a little sparkle every day.

Do you have all the gifts? Advent calendars ready? Decoration up or maybe even a tree in the house already?

… but right now I want you to make a cup of tea, take a little cookie if you want to and read on. I have some lovely things in this Friday list like the wonderful Advent Calendar on the first picture. Maybe an idea in case you have no plans for the upcoming week end {… yah, I know… very unlikely}:
