These in between years for kids can be some of the hardest when it comes to getting gifts for middle schoolers that they will actually like. You’ll find some of the best middle school gift ideas here.
What exactly do you give as gifts for kids in middle school? It’s the question that comes around every birthday, holiday or special occasion. These tweens as people often call them, have one foot still in childhood and another in the teen years. They are in such a hurry to grow up and yet often are equally hesitant to let go of being a Kid.
It also isn’t unusual to see a huge spectrum of maturity in these 6th, 7th and 8th grade years. Some middle school kids are quite happy to keep playing with their favorite toys and to sport TV characters on their clothes. And then others are moving towards more teen interests and have already developed a fashion sense that makes them far more grown-up than most parents are ready for at this point.
It can be difficult to know how to pick out gifts for them that they will like, but in many cases they are holding on to the magic that comes with opening up gifts with awe and surprise. That means, a gift card or cash, isn’t going to be the solution. And really as parents, you’re probably not quite ready to let go of the delight you feel in seeing your child’s eyes light up as they tear into the wrapping paper of a much anticipated gift. It can be one of the few times you still get a glimpse of that sweet little kid they used to be.
