Whether you have a teen or almost teenage daughter this Best Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas and Guide is for you! We’ve rounded up 9 of our favorite gift ideas that are both affordable and practical. This isn’t just thrown together items — these are practical, tried-and-true gifts that our own daughter{s} loves. Here are our best Valentine’s Day gift ideas for tween girls.

1. Polaroid Camera – This has become a hit in our home, make sure to grab a few extra packs of the print paper so they can capture all the moments
2. Charm Bracelet – We love the Charmit Bracelets, but there are so many options and qualities out there. If your daughter is careful with jewelry, it might be worth getting them a little higher quality charm bracelet so they can begin a fun collection of charms that won’t tarnish.
3. The Princess Diaries – This book is super cute and it’s like the movie with Anne Hathaway. I just love her! The whole set would be a great gift, but the first book is a great place to start.
4. Valentine’s Day Puzzle – Puzzles are always a great idea to use as a gift. This one I found is just super cute and festive for love day. But there are hundreds of options.
5. Faberge Collectable Egg – This is a new tradition we are starting. They are the cutest little collectable eggs that come with or can hold their trinkets. They are beautiful
6. Heart Fanny Pack – Girls are loving these little fanny packs these days. A pink one with hearts?! Sign us up!
7. Cotton Candy Machine – Our daughter got this for her birthday and we can’t recommend it enough. It really is so much fun and you can use just about any hard candy, like Jolly ranchers, or you can get the cotton candy sugar at most party stores.
8. Nail Polish – You can’t go wrong with a couple good nail polish sets
9. Bracelet Kit – We love making bracelets around here. If you want to get started on bracelet making, grab some of these beads and check out our how-to on bracelet making for kids.
