The 35 Best Gifts for 10-Year-Old Girls That Are Both Useful and Fun
Nov 21, 2024 10:00 AM

  Grown-ups tend to feel like they have to tell the little girls in their life that they can be anything. But here’s the great thing about young girls — they already know that. Celebrate their confidence by giving them a gift that reads, "This is so me!" Showing them that you see them is key.

  When shopping for a 10-year-old, don't forget to factor in her interests, hobbies, personality, and maturity level. Not all 10-year-olds are the same, after all. While one girl might love cute things like Squishmallows and cats, another might be more into crafts and art projects. Among this age group, you could have sporty gals who love playing outside or ones who love a time-consuming art project.

  Not to worry! We have you covered. Whether the 10-year-old in your life is a bookworm or is super into the Barbie craze, we rounded up 37 gifts sure to get a smile and not an eye roll. As you go through our picks, remember who you're gifting to. And when in doubt, get a gift receipt.
