Best Gifts for Tween & Teen Girls - Nada Manley

The only person harder to shop for than my husband is my 11-year-old daughter. Besides a pair of salmon pink Converse hi-tops and a hamster, her list is filled with cryptic landmines like clothes, jewelry, and “that cup with the bath bombs.” And since I’ve stopped buying clothes and jewelry for her without her preapproval (there is literally no rhyme or reason to her sense of style) I’ve had to get creative. Here, a few of the things I’m considering for Lola and the other teens/tweens on my list.

A fashion subscription box will get her a surprise box filled with fun fashion finds based on her own personal style profile. I love KidPik, KidBox and Rockets of Awesome.
