The best gifts for tween girls

My Daughter just had her 11th birthday, that prime “tween” age where they no longer like little kid toys but some are still too young for those teenage stuff. So I have taken note of all the gifts she has been given over the last couple of years that have stood the test of time and made a list of 20 items that your older girls ages 9-12 will love!
