Picking a holiday gift for a tween niece/ daughter or relative? Most of you probably end up buying something that you would give a teenager but don’t forget, she is around 10-12 years or what you call a preadolescent! She is still a child though she pretends to be all cool and behave like a teenager.
So, get her something that can double for a teenager and a kid too! One of my top picks here is a real purse. I had seen these awesome Mickey Mouse handbags that were fashionable, trendy and yet did not make her feel too overgrown.
You might be thinking that isn’t Mickey Mouse too childish? This is where trendy designs, patterns and shapes come in. They differentiate these fashionable bags from the kiddies or primary school backpacks. And the best part is there is something available for different personalities too.
For instance, if she loves to go to parties, get her a clutch style purse with digital Mickey Mouse. What makes it cool are digital imprints, studs and embellishments that draw a fine line between what’s for kiddos and what works for tweens.
You can also get her something that’s practical and can be taken to school like a Mickey Mouse tote. It’s big enough to keep all her school necessities and yet fashionable. These functional bags can be used for a day out with her friends also.
Just make sure that you don’t over-board with the Mickey Mouse thing. If you are not too confident about colors, try out something in black and white, which is more subtle.
