25 Best Gifts For 10-Year-Old Girls 2025

If you've got a 10-year-old girl on your holiday gift list this year, you might be scratching your head. Are they still kids or tweens? Do they like dolls or social media dances? Are they still into bikes and trampolines, or do they want to go walk the mall?

Whatever gift recipient is into, we've rounded up some of the best gifts for 10-year-old girls. While you're at it, check out our 2025 holiday toy guide and the best stocking stuffers and advent calendars for kids.

What to look for in the best gifts for 10-year-old girls

Katrina Sloan, a home educator at Home Learning Kit, says it's important to look for items that bridge the gap between child and teenager. "I'd look for things like journals, stationery, scrapbooks, crafts, knitting kits, fashion accessories and makeup," she advises.

Dr. Rebecca Mannis, a learning specialist with Ivy Prep, says to look toward games, projects and activities over toys. "The best toys and games are the ones that both challenge the child and are within their zone or capacity to be successful. Girls’ language skills, ability to reflect and problem solve, focus and ability to persist are stronger at this stage."

"Remember, 10-year-old girls are in a phase where they think they're teenagers but developmentally, they're still children," says Sloan. "They can be very conscientious of peer pressure and will want to fit in with their friends while gaining some independence from their parents," she says.

Dr. Mannis agrees and says that they're easily influenced by their social groups. Look for trendy gifts to satisfy this.
