Gift Guide For Tweens – Unsure what to get your tween or teen, I have a few suggestions that may help, Viggo is our youngest now at aged 11, so he falls into the Tween category, along with Tyrus, and Eowyn as a Teen.
Tween and Teen Gifts
IMO Q2 Pro Mobile Phone
Now Viggo is in the higher years at school he is able to walk home from school, or in our case, he can walk to the car by himself, and the parking at the school is horrendous so its usually a fair walk, so now (along with most of his class) he would like a mobile phone, but I am not keen on getting an expensive phone, as long as it can be used to play Pokemon Go, so I would recommend an IMO Mobile Phone.
There are quite a few variations, depending on what you need the phone for.
Cocoba Hot Chocolate Bombe Set
Viggo is a huge hot chocolate fan, so gift sets from Cocoba are perfect, he loves nothing more than a delicious cup of hot chocolate, with cream and marshmallows, and he also adores chocolate bombs, he loves to watch them melt!
Gel Blaster Surge
The award winning Gel Blaster takes you to the next level in awesome outdoor fun with the exciting new Gel Blaster SURGE.
Adrenalin filled, competitive play doesn’t need to be messy! The Gel Blaster SURGE is a fun filled blaster with barely any mess or clean up. I am sure the kids will have great fun with this on Christmas Day!
TUG! Perfect Game For All The Family!
Tug! is the ultimate team-based battle that will challenge both your intellect and your nerve, perfect for tweens, teens and adults!
With an easy-to-understand concept, this game ensures that everyone can get involved, making it the perfect choice for a family game night.
One of the standout features of Tug! is that the game unfolds within the confines of its own box, which transforms into a captivating tug of war arena. Complete with a suspended rope and a flag, it’s a unique setup that adds an extra layer of excitement to the game.
7th Heaven Pamper Hamper
Eowyn is obsessed with facemasks! As are all her friends so this 7th Heaven Pamper Hamper is the perfect gift for a tween or teen in the family that loves a bit of pampering.
Copenhagen Candle Company
Another thing Eowyn is obsessed with is Candles and Diffusers, so if your son or daughter are the same, i’d like to suggest the Copenhagen Candle Company that has a fantastic range of candles and diffusers to choose from.

Love Raw Vegan Treats
Neva has been a vegetarian for many years, so I always have to double check every food item I purchase is suitable, but i’m finding it harder to work out as many products seem to totally omit if they are suitable for vegetarians.

Mister Mishkins’ Apothecary Book
Mister Mishkins is a magical cat, who runs an Apothecary on Mosaic Street – a mysterious place that mysteriously appears in town overnight and is only visible to those in need.
Whenever anyone enters the Apothecary, MisterMishkins listens as they share their troubles and fears, before turning to the rows of wooden drawers where, hidden within, is an eclectic mix of cats.
These cats take whoever needs them on a magical journey of transformation, replacing negative emotions with hope, optimism, and just a small sprinkling of magic.
