This year we have one child who is going from being a little kid, or tween into secondary school age. It’s a tough transition, I had thought it would get easier as your children grow but challenges just change. So if you’re looking to buy the perfect gift for an 11-year-old girl or like us, for 11-year-old boys. We’ve created a guide to some presents which are great gifts and most importantly are considered cool by your older kids.
For good reason, the best toys are not now the noisy, plastic ones, thank goodness that stage has passed! A great gift now can be anything from video games, a physical activity, a grown up brick building set or Harry Potter tshirts. It’s a new era of finding a unique gift which suits their developing interests and personalities. The best part is that many of these new toy ideas are things which will last and the coolest gifts can be the items you least expect like a cake pop maker if your child loves baking. Or stationary if you have a budding artist in the family.
If you’re looking for a little help; read our list of the best gifts for an 11-year-old daughter or a feisty 11-year-old son, which is what we have at the moment! The good news is we have chosen presents which keep them active, are fun for these pre teen years and can involve other family members.
