Shopping for an 11-year old girl is hard! They are not yet teenagers, but they have many of the same wants - electronics, electronics, electronics and ....makeup! How do you set limits and find appropriate gifts that are not junk that will be discarded before the 12 days of Christmas or 8 nights of Hanukkah are past? Follow along for my top picks. Here's what I plan on actually buying for my daughter this year.
(M....get off my computer RIGHT NOW if you're reading this!)
A chrome book is at the top of our list this year. Our local public school system just bought a bunch of them for the kids to use in the classroom and many teachers have put their assignments in Google's Classroom space. For me, the Chromebook is the perfect affordable way to keep the kids off MY computer since more and more of their homework requires it these days. For her, it's the independence of not having to ask to use my computer to do her assignments PLUS the cool factor of having one's own laptop - all right around $200.

Camping Hammock by PeakUp

| A tree hammock by PeakUp makes a great gift for the Jr Camper on your list |
Our family loves to go camping, but the one thing that ruins our laid back vibe every time is the kids fighting over whose turn it is in the Eno hammock. I love this slightly more affordable one by PeakUp and the girls pattern on this one. I know she'll also love bringing it to sleep-away camp with her next summer too.

If you have a teen or tween, surely they know what this is, but even for the less tech savvy - the PopSocket is a tech accessory worth learning about. This "handle" attaches to the back of your mobile device and allows for a more comfortable grip and allows it to stand on the table for more comfortable video viewing.
