38 Best Holiday or Birthday Gifts for 11-Year-Old Girls in 2022

Shopping for the perfect gift for your tween girl can be stressful and confusing, especially if you're not sure exactly what you're looking for. With one foot still in their kid stage, where they love to play with toys and games, and the other foot in their teens, where they're more interested in their own personal style and taste, what's a shopper to do? Whether you're looking for something for that budding artist in your life, trying to find the perfect gift for the sports-obsessed tween or looking to please that 11-year-old who seems to have everything, we've got the best holiday and birthday gift ideas for any interest.

Luckily, the Good Housekeeping Institute uses feedback from real tweens and teens to help inform our readers of the best gifts for 10-year-old girls, gifts for 11-year-old girls, gifts for 12-year-olds, gifts for teens and teen stocking stuffers, so we've kept a finger on the pulse of what's trendy for this hard-to-read group. We tests hundreds of toys annually in order to find the best gifts for kids of every age and release the results in our annual Good Housekeeping Institute Toy Awards. Our lab experts evaluate the most promising ones for factors like safety and quality, and then we bring in real kids to test them all out — all to help you know which ones are actually worth buying for your own kids this holiday season. Our list of the best toys and gifts for 11 year old girls is made up of 2022 Good Housekeeping Best Toy Awards winners, former Toy Award winners, best-sellers and expert and editors' picks.

This year, we know that tweens love DIY projects, as well as accessories and home decor. Whatever you choose, these gifts will make 11-year-old girls happy.
