Ah, the holiday season. It's the most wonderful, er, terrifying time of the year. Why is that, you ask? Well, you have a tween girl to shop for, and *umm* they can be pretty tricky to please.

You remember those years, right? Tweens are entering a period of self-discovery, and they're experimenting with different creative hobbies and interests, so it's hard to know what exactly they're into at the moment.

Luckily, there are plenty of fail-safe options for even the pickiest gift-openers, like an instant camera she can take with her everywhere, or an alarm clock that multitasks as a night light and Bluetooth speaker—ya know since she says she's old enough to wake up for school on her own now.

Whatever her interests, here are 40 unique gifts the tween girl in your life will actually love and use:
