The 55 Best Gifts for 10-Year-Old Girls of 2024

Unique and fun gifts for every tween

Circle Society Classic Adjustable Indoor and Outdoor Roller Skates

The Spruce / Lecia Landis

Shopping for the perfect gift for a 10-year-old girl means finding something that's tailored to her interests and allows her to express herself creatively.

Crystal L. Bailey, director of the Etiquette Institute of Washington, suggests gifting something that will stand the test of time. "When shopping for close loved ones such as a growing niece or godchild, my personal preference is to give gifts that can be cherished for a lifetime," she says.

Whether that means a board game suitable for a wide age range, a jewelry organizer she'll use well into her teen years, or a scooter with an adjustable handle to accommodate future growth spurts, find a gift that honors her current interests, but she'll still love years down the line.

Based on the advice from experts, parents, and tweens themselves, we researched and tested practical and popular gift ideas for girls, evaluating product quality, educational value, and safety.

If you're looking for the perfect birthday gift for a girl, this sleepover game is a no-brainer. Designed for three or more, each player takes a turn spinning the wheel to get their Act It, Work It, or Party Challenge. They’ll find themselves charged with doing everything from being a human mirror to trying to lick their elbow (it’s harder than it sounds). The first one to 10 wins the game, but everyone wins when it comes to the good time being had. It’s all good, clean fun that will elicit giggles galore, we found during testing. The rules are extremely easy to learn for a variety of age ranges for the perfect game for any occasion.

This is a great starter kit designed for kids, 8 years and up who want to learn how to crochet.

Two crochet hooks and a yarn needle are also included, as well as detailed, step-by-step illustrated instructions.

Kids will love joining her on her journey, and, who knows, maybe you'll have a young detective on your hands as well.

Other Great Gift Options

At this age, experiential gifts may pack more punch than physical items. Spending time with friends often seems like the most important thing in the world to a tween girl, so planning a special outing to a museum, concert, or trampoline park will be an experience she'll never forget. Perhaps she would prefer tickets to a musical, a coupon for a cooking class, or an at-home spa day. The most memorable gifts I remember from this age involve invaluable bonding time with my friends and family, so don't be afraid to ditch the traditional gift bag and think more outside the box.

Tips on Choosing a Gift for a 10-Year-Old Girl

Check the recommended age on any gifts that you consider and think about your recipient's maturity. Some girls may be ready for more independence, while others can benefit from some additional adult supervision. When you’re not sure, you can always play with her for a time until you are both comfortable.

Ten-year-old girls enjoy a range of activities and games at a more complex level, like making pottery, improving their skills at a talent or sport, or tackling more advanced science projects, like those included in the Be Amazing! Toys Big Bag of Science.

"With educational gifts and games, it’s important to provide a gift that is at or just above their educational or activity level," Crystal L. Bailey, director of the Etiquette Institute of Washington, says. "It can be terribly disappointing to receive a game or activity that they are not able to enjoy."

A gift for a 10-year-old girl that teaches her a new skill is one that will keep on giving. Whether she wants to learn more about a particular interest or develop a new hobby, an educational gift may spark a new passion in your 10-year-old’s life. Bailey recalls her favorite gifts shifting her outlook on life: "I think back on the special gifts that I received as a child and how they impacted my outlook on life. That is something we cannot begin to place a price on," she shares.

Gifts for the creative 10-year-old girl don’t need to be limited to arts and crafts. While these are popular choices for this age group, anything that allows her to express herself is a solid choice. Think about her interests and ways to show her personality, whether it’s through creating a science experiment or a bold fashion statement with this DIY Charm Bracelet Set from Make It Real.

Often, creative gifts are based on trends and what's currently popular. Bailey challenges consumers to shop outside these fleeting trends to gift something sentimental that can be enjoyed for years. "This sometimes means that I won’t have the most popular gift or something the child immediately wants to play with, but maybe it’s an engraved jewelry box that will hold significance later in life," she says.
