The tween years are a time when your child isn’t a little kid anymore but hasn’t quite reached the maturity level of a teenager. They are starting to spread their wings, but still need a safe place to land, snug at home with you. Whether they are interested in music, like to hit the slopes, or enjoy building things, these gifts are sure to put a smile on their face, give them something to be excited about, and provide an opportunity for you to spend time together!

Watching kids grow up is one of the most exciting things you’ll ever experience, but also a bit heart-wrenching too. They very often would rather spend time with their friends or in their room, and that is all a normal part of maturing. Finding the perfect gift can be challenging, and that is where this list can help. Would they prefer a gift to use on the slopes, a charger for their phone, or something more interactive you can enjoy together? No matter what gift you decide upon, one thing is for sure: Your tween is sure to absolutely love it!

You knew all along that you were going to surprise your firstborn with a car for their 16th birthday, and, with a lot of hemming and hawing, you finally decided upon a fire-engine red midsized beauty that you know they will simply love. There is so much that goes into gifting your child a car, from a safety inspection to new tires to insurance – the list goes on and on. 
We have put together a collection of supplies that will help make their (and your) transition from training wheels all the way up to car keys a little less worrisome and a lot more fun! Congratulations to you both on this incredible milestone!

As hard as it is to realize that your baby is growing up, sharing the experience of their first car will be a time in life that you both remember forever. With the right preparations, a few special supplies, and a whole lot of faith, this time in life is truly a joyous occasion. While these supplies can help your teen to keep their car a little cleaner and a bit safer, there’s really nothing that can prepare you for the feeling you’ll have watching them drive away for the first time on their own. Maybe we should’ve included a box of tissues on the list!
