All Your Tween Wants for Christmas
If he or she won’t tell you, Gift Hero will.
’Tis the season for trying to read your tween’s mind — but what else is new, right? If your not-quite-a-teenager is like most, he or she won’t come out and tell you exactly what they want for Christmas. So let Gift Hero do the dirty work by showing you what’s on our Christmas for Tweens trend list this year. We’ve got a gift for every mood or state of mind, whatever that means.
Encourage your kids to move with a self-balancing electric board that operates on skate- and surf-inspired balance. There’s also SoundMoovz that creates music based on their dance moves, not the other way around, which they can then record using a selfie mic set.
For sit-down-and-focus time, your tween can start small with a fidget spinner 2.0 that now has six sides of stress- and anxiety-reducing trickery, then work their way up not only building but also coding their own laptop — which, watching them work on will be like the equivalent of trying to help your son or daughter with their math homework.
Alone time for a tween usually means throwing on a pair of noise-canceling headphones and drowning out the world, but now parents don’t have to worry about it destroying their hearing with “volume limiting” from Pure Sound Labs. Of course, he or she might also want to shut the door and find a friend in a real R2-D2 droid.
Tweens who want to be right in the action will relish a new easy-to-use GoPro, smartphone virtual reality headset, or drone with headset, but don’t forget about a good old-fashioned Nerf gun — like this one that can be built and used three different ways.
And for when the excitement of Christmas wears off, it’s time to snuggle up — mermaid style — with your tween and recap what a wonderful holiday season it has been. Wishful thinking? Maybe next year.
