Painting can be tough, even kids who are good at drawing can struggle when it comes to painting. But this set really is a great way to ease them into painting. The set comes with ten different acrylic paints, a mixing pad and plenty of different sized brushes to make the painting process as easy and as fun as possible.

Personalized Overnight Duffel Bag
Great overnight duffel bag for those sleepovers, that can be personalized with initials or name.The overnight bag is spacious enough to pack clothing for 3-4 days and has a lot of outside and inside pockets.
Choose from a variety of colors (12 at the time of writing this).
LilGadgets Wireless Bluetooth Headphones
Kids these days have all kinds of gadgets from smartphones, tablets, game consoles and probably a few other devices that us moms just do not get! Well what at first glance looks like a standard (but very cool looking) set of headphones. We can tell you that these LilGadgets Wireless Bluetooth Headphones are going to be something your daughter goes crazy for!
These will pair up effortlessly with any Bluetooth device, but they also have a port so they can be connected to a non Bluetooth device as well. However this port also allows these headphones to be connected to two devices at once which is really cool.
With a 12 hour battery life, your kid is going to be able to rock out for a very long time with these. Also as a nice touch a little bit of the proceeds from each pair of headphones sold goes towards anti bullying in schools and we think that is awesome.
Smartphone
The no 1 item on the wish list of 12 year old girls is no doubt a smartphone. If you think she’s ready for one, make sure you install an app to keep her safe and give you some peace of mind.
The iPhone is of course one the most sought after phones by girls this age, but can be really expensive.
Luckily there are plenty of other smartphones out there. Take a look at these bestsellers here.
The Sleepover Party Game
Looking for sleepover party games? This game has got you covered. Includes over 200 fun activities and challenges, so break out the sleeping bags!
Party Wireless Boom Box by Jam
We are not exaggerating when we say that the Party Wireless Boom Box by Jam is one of the best budget price Bluetooth speakers on the market right now. First of all it looks really cool with its pink and black design that kind of resembles an 80’s style boom box.
With four speakers this thing produces amazing sound and the music she is playing will sound crystal clear. This can run of the mains, but it does have a rechargeable battery inside it which lasts up to 12 hours which at this price range is very impressive.
It can connect to any Bluetooth device, but it has an adapter for non Bluetooth devices also. No need to say that it’s fully portable making it perfect for a sleepover or a picnic at the park. There’s not a girl on the planet who would not be thrilled to get this as a gift!
Origami Chic A Guide to Foldable Fashion
Here is a very interesting gift idea. The Origami Chic A Guide to Foldable Fashion is a very interesting book and something that any girl who’s into fashion is going to love. The idea of this is that they will create lovely and elegant dresses, cool pairs of jeans and other really smart and fashionable items of clothing out of paper.
Origami sounds like it is very hard, but this book breaks everything down into easy to follow steps. Plus it actually comes with paper. Not just regular paper, but paper that is specially designed to be folded to make these awesome items of clothing. If you are looking for a gift that is a bit out of the norm and different then this would be ideal.
PlayStation VR
It’s THE gift that all kids want for Christmas this year: The PlayStation VR. Put on the headset for the most amazing gaming experience!
VR headsets have really taken off this year and will continue to be very popular next year!
The PlayStation VR works with the PlayStation 4, but you can find VR headsets for other platforms and phones on Amazon.com.
Spa Fun Sparkle Tattoo Parlor
Your little 12 year girl, who’s growing up too quickly, is interested in getting a tattoo. Bad idea for a girl this age and not advisable.
Instead get her a fake tattoo kit, so she can experiment with glitter tattoos. And these tattoos wear off, phew!
DIY Wear Infinity Jewelry by Alex Toys
The DIY Wear Infinity Jewelry Set by Alex Toys is the perfect gift idea for 12 year old girls who love jewelry. If you want to keep your kid out of your jewelry box then this might be a really good way to do it.
Included with this set are clasps, charms, beads, cords, twine and a whole bunch of stickers and other shiny stuff. The idea is that a girl will design and make her own awesome bracelets and necklaces.
There are over 30 different pieces in this set and making jewelry could not be any easier. There is no glue or anything messy and putting the pieces together is as simple as snapping them into place. If you know a child who loves art and creative type things then this will be a much loved gift.
Rose Gold Ear Cuffs
One of the hottest trends in jewelry tight now, are ear cuffs. These leaf ear cuffs are sparkly with a bit of a vintage look. The rose gold color is very hot right now.
Lockable Jewelry Storage Case

With this lockable jewelry storage case a girl is going to have a safe place to keep all of her earrings, bracelets, jewelry and anything else that they hold dear. Plus as a nice bonus for you it will stop you standing on earrings when you go into their room!
Your child is going to really love this jewelry storage case as it has nine different sections inside it. This will allow them to keep their jewelry nice and organized. It offers lots of space and we’re sure they will really like that. Also included is a little mirror which will let them see how fantastic they look!
When the case is closed (and you can see just how cool and elegant it looks) it has a latch that can actually be securely locked. This will come in handy if they have any siblings who like to “borrow” their jewelry!
Kindle Paperwhite E-reader
Got a 12 year old bookworm? Give her the Kindle Paperwhite. For reading this is better than a tablet, because the screen has no glare.
Reading in bright sunlight is not an issue and a charged battery will give her weeks of reading time.

Girl’s Stinger Adjustable Inline Skates by Roller Derby
Roller skating has really come back the last few years and these Roller Derby inspired girl’s Stinger adjustable inline skates are a great way to get your kid skating around the neighborhood.
These cool skates have a really smart and funky design which is something that kids are really going to love. One of the best things about these roller blades though is their durability. With a polymer frame and polyurethane wheels these skates are very strong.
When your kid straps these on, their feet and ankles are very well supported. With a molded cuff and an easy adjust system these roller blades are also very comfortable to wear.
If you’re looking for a gift that is going to get your child outside then we cannot recommend these skates highly enough.
