1. The Always Popular Stanley Cup Gift Idea

What’s better than one Stanley cup?

Two Stanley cups!

Even if they already have a Stanley cup they now come in so many different shapes, sizes, and colors that it is highly unlikely they will already have the one you gift to them.

To add a little fun (remember we want it to stand out among the rest!) fill it with little trinkets and candy.

Go for height and add items that can spill out over the cup.

Target’s Dollar Spot or the dollar store is a great place to look for a few items to stuff inside.

Search for things like fidgets, a sleep mask, sunglasses, a claw clip, or even a key chain.

2. A Travel Jewelry Case and Initial Necklace Gift Idea

Gift the pre-teen in your life a combination of style and functionality with a travel jewelry case and initial necklace.

Pick a jewelry case in their favorite color and hide the necklace inside for an extra surprise.

The compact size of the jewelry case is perfect for keeping their precious jewelry organized.

When paired with a dainty personalized necklace, featuring their name’s first letter, this gift is not only fashionable but meaningful.

3. A Candle Warmer Lamp with Candle Gift Idea

For the pre-teen who wants to create a cozy atmosphere in their room but may not be ready for the responsibility of an open flame, a candle warmer lamp is the perfect solution.

By gifting them a candle warmer lamp along with a fun scented candle, you’re offering them the ambiance without the worry of a lit candle.

I found these candle warmers in a rainbow of colors, so you can choose their favorite color or one to match their room.

It’s such a unique gift idea and one that adds an uplifting mood to their pre-teen haven.

4. The Patches and Pouches Gift Idea

If your tween/pre-teen loves a good craft or perhaps they are a budding fashion designer, this gift idea if for them.

But truth be told you don’t need a whole lot of skill for this one.

This set of self adhesive patches includes several letters and shapes allowing the girls to create several one-of-a-kind designs.

Include a jean jacket or accessory with the gift and let them go wild with their personality!

5. Shower Goodies with Bath Accessories Gift Idea

This pre-teen stage is definitely when these 10-12 year old girls are beginning to explore the world of beauty products.

A set of shower goodies paired with a fluffy face washing headband and wristbands is the perfect introductory gift.

I happen to love the Bella and Bear brand for this age group.

The packaging is cute and scents are youthful.

Not to mention they are 100% vegan and don’t test on animals allowing you to feel confident about gifting the products.

When gifting items like body butter and shower jelly they get to dip their toes (literally!) into the world of beauty products but in an age appropriate way.
