If you’re shopping for a tween this holiday season and have literally no idea what kids are into these days, don’t worry — we’ve got your back with some great gift ideas that any tween would love!
Tweens are generally considered to be kids between the ages of 9 and 12. They’re no longer little kids, so they probably won’t be into anything that they deem to be too cutesy or childish. (Anyone who’s been on the receiving end of adamant declarations of “I’m not a baby anymore!” knows exactly what I’m talking about.)
But, tweens are also not quite teenagers yet, so you want to make sure the gift doesn’t go too far above their heads. Ultimately, the perfect gift for a tween would be something that respects the fact that they’re growing up and simultaneously nurtures their expanding interests — and we found some great picks to fit that mold at Walmart.com.

5 Cool Gifts From Walmart That Tweens Actually Want to Unwrap
While the cycle of what’s “cool” and what’s not changes pretty rapidly these days thanks to social media platforms, there are some everlasting themes and timeless hobbies that tweens will always love. Based on that, we’ve rounded up five of our favorite gifts for tweens that are sure to be a hit this holiday season.
Minecraft Green Creeper 9-Can Mini Fridge
If your tween has grown up playing Minecraft, they’ll flip for this fun mini fridge styled after the game’s notorious little enemy. Beyond its cool design, it’s a great gift to help tweens gain a little sense of autonomy with a 9-can fridge of their own — plus, it’s on sale for less than $50. They can stash some brain-fueling snacks to grab while doing homework or a cool, tasty treat to enjoy while playing games on a rainy day.
Price: $39.87, $68
LEGO Speed Champions 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R
The “Fast & Furious” franchise has officially become a multi-generational phenomenon as millennial parents begin introducing their kids to the movies — and this $20 LEGO kit is a nice way to give tweens a PG intro to all the action. It’s styled after the Nissan Skyline from “2 Fast 2 Furious,” complete with its iconic stripes, wing at the back and, of course, a Brian O’Conner mini-figure. It has 319 pieces and is perfect for ages 9 and up, but would be even more fun to build together.
Price: $20, $24.99
Nintendo Switch
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle
If you’re looking to splurge on your tween’s holiday gift, the Nintendo Switch is a foolproof choice. The handheld gaming system will let them enjoy their favorite games at home or on the go, and it comes with two Joy-Con controllers for multiplayer fun. Best of all, this bundle includes Mario Kart 8 Deluxe at no extra cost (a $59.99 value), and three free months of Nintendo Switch online membership to access online play and some free games.
Price: $299
Fujifilm INSTAX Mini 7+ Exclusive Blister Bundle
This Fujifilm Instax Mini 7 camera will inspire the tween on your holiday gift list to capture fun memories with friends and get creative with their budding photography skills. They’ll be able to easily point, shoot and print high-quality Polaroids for sharing, saving or decorating in their room. The camera comes in a handful of fun colors, and it comes bundled with a bonus 10-pack of instant film. Grab it while it’s 27% off.
Price: $49, $67
KINGART Acrylic Painting Set With Mini Easel
If your tween is a little more hands-on with their art, opt for this acrylic painting set instead. They can flex their artistic muscles with four canvas panels, six tubes of acrylic paint, a palette, three paintbrushes and a mini table easel that’ll have them feeling like a pro. The paints are water-based for easy cleanup, so their imagination is the only limit to their creativity.
