These gifts are perfect for every kind of 9-year-old.
It can be difficult to pick gifts for kids who are not quite teenagers but also not “little kids” anymore.
One Shop TODAY contributor who has tweens said she’s paid close attention to what ends up in the donation bin three months after the holidays and what her tweens actually want to hold onto throughout the year. In her house, it seems to be all about creativity, family game nights, expressing their individuality and, of course, video games. Always video games.
Below, we’ve rounded up some of the best gift ideas for 9-year-old girls and boys this year.
