Too grown up for little kids’ toys, too young for teenage trinkets: tweens are betwixt and between, which makes them particularly tricky to buy for.

That’s why we’ve pulled together this edit of clever, thoughtful, and fun gifts to delight even the hardest-to-please 9 to 12-year-olds. Creative kits, cool tech, cosy winter warmers and fun little surprises: these presents hit the sweet spot between childhood and teendom.
