Gift for 12 year old birthday - for online delivery
June 2, 2020 11:30 AM   Subscribe

Beloved niece turning 12 in quarantine, looking for gifts for her fun, silly tastes that I can deliver by internet.

She still gets a lot of enjoyment from fart humor, likes online games, drawing, music. Not into pre-teen type stuff yet much at all. Has a moral and social justice heart. Runs anxious and does not enjoy stressful, apocalyptic aesthetic. I was thinking of gift certificate to comic or book store for home delivery but would like ideas from folks with their fingers closer to the pulse of the 12 year old set. I will also be delivering cupcakes. Thanks!

Maybe a Spotify subscription (or similar) if she doesn't already have one? My 13yo who likes gaming is also in love with affiliated items like a "gamer mouse", nice/cool looking headphones, etc. She also loves soft plush items, and there are some pretty cute plushie pillow hybrids out there. Book/comic book gift certificates are always great too.

It looks to me like people of all ages are using sidewalk chalk for messages both powerful and positive, and of course fun pictures. You could order a big set of sidewalk chalk if she has somewhere she could use it?

Best answer: My inner 12-year-old says to check out Archie McPhee.

If she follows any big YouTubers/TikTok-ers, she may enjoy getting any merch they sell. My almost 12yo really enjoyed getting stickers and a hoodie from one of her favourites this past Christmas
