If you have a tween girl, you probably know exactly what my weekends look like right now: birthday parties. So. Many. Birthday. Parties.
My 11-year-old seems to be getting invited to one every weekend, and keeping up with gifts is becoming a job in itself. I want something she'll be excited to give, the birthday girl will actually want, and—ideally—something I can order without driving all over town at the last minute.
So I started keeping a running list of tween-girl-approved gifts on Amazon.
These aren't random things I found scrolling Amazon. They're the kinds of gifts girls this age are actually excited about right now—from beauty and accessories to room finds, crafts and little trends they all seem to know about before we do.
Even better, most can arrive quickly, which is especially helpful when you discover on Thursday night that there's another birthday party on Saturday.

Bedazzling Kit
This is such a fun gift for the crafty tween. With tons of colorful rhinestones, they can bedazzle phone cases, water bottles, notebooks, sunglasses—basically anything they can get their hands on. I also love that it gives them something to do, which always makes a birthday gift feel a little more special.
