Put your tween to bed in their very own galaxy with this colorful moon lamp. Our tweens can often get embarrassed if, by the age of 9, they still want a night light, but this is a superb solution that will leave their room looking seriously cool!

Lighting up in 16 different colors with two control modes (i.e., the remote control and a button), this is a superb décor gift for both boys and girls who like the room lightly lit at night.

Your 9-year-old is getting mature enough to carry her own girlie essentials when you leave the house. Why not gift her with a cute and fashionable travel purse?

This travel purse can be worn over the shoulder or as a cross-body purse. This Choco Mocha tween purse will allow your gal to take her things in style with multiple different patterns to pick from to reflect her personality.

We are slowly but surely molding our tween girl to be “that girl”. One who has her act together, clean, and organized. Gifting her a toiletry bag will help her as she can carry her girlie stuff, from lipglosses and beginner make-up to deodorants and toothbrush sets for sleepovers or family vacations.

Is your tween the type that loves outdoor adventure and camping? The ideal gift would be a cool youth sleeping bag that offers her comfort like home, even while camping.

This sleeping bag is comfortable and roomy enough for her to toss and turn as she would be in her bed, down to temperatures of 40 degrees.

This would be the ideal gift for your tween girl who is planning an independent camping trip.

Coming in a compact carry case, this is a super helpful gift for a 9-year-old on the move, be it camping, traveling, picnicking, or even throwing it in their school bag for an eco-friendly lunchtime.

Is your tween into cooking? Step beyond basic baking and introduce your tween girl to new cooking skills.

Gifting her a fabulous cookbook will give your tween a fun, creative outlet while teaching her lifelong skills. It has simple recipes and step-by-step instructions for your budding chef to follow. It is one of the ideal books for a 9-year-old girl.

Does your girl fancy outdoors over screen time? Time to ditch her beginner bike that I bet originally came with trainer wheels. Your 9-year-old girl is ready for a big bike with gears that will fit to her growing body.

Based on your tween girl’s height, you should look for a 20″ to 24″ frame (13″/14″ wheels). Nothing gives your tweens more independence than their own set of wheels, which they can use to explore the neighborhood and keep fit with friends.

Nine-year-old girls are at that perfect age for mastering card games with friends and family. This fun Apples to Apples card game would be an excellent present for your tween girl with a friendly competitive streak. With this game, each card contains a one-word characteristic (like “fresh” and “roses”).

The game aims to impress the chosen judge with a green apple card that cleverly complements the red apple card. It will expand your tween’s vocabulary and thinking skills, and there will be many giggles along the way.

Is your tween girl ready for her first overnight trip—or longer? Around this age, kids start venturing from home without you, be it to a friend’s house for a slumber party or school trip.

They’ll need the right gear for this, so why not equip your 9-year-old with some stylish tween luggage to last her several years? We’ve found Rockland to be a reliable and affordable brand with plenty of fun colours and patterns to choose from.

This is a great age for your tween to start recording her memories from a trip.
