71 Gifts 11-Year-Old Girls That Will Make Them Think You’re Cool (2024)

Many eleven-year-old girls are in a tricky transition period where they aren't little kids anymore, but they aren't quite old enough to participate in many teenage activities (although, they might think they are). Their likes often switch from playing with stuffies, Legos, babies, and other "little kid" toys to more sophisticated things like photography, jewelry making, art, and self-care. They're at the age of introspection, possibly for the first time, with blossoming interests.

So, what do you gift the girl going through her self-discovery era? In choosing these gifts, we selected a variety that encourages them to grow their interests and spark new passions. It isn't always easy buying gifts for kids this age, but here are some of the things we've learned: Shop based on what you see her enjoying when she doesn’t think you’re looking.
