One of the fastest growing groups of shoppers are “tweens” — kids who are “between” childhood and adolescence, generally in the 8 to 12 age range. Tweens are also often the toughest group to buy meaningful gifts for. Montgomery Ward has kept them in mind, though, and offers many unique gift ideas for this holiday season.

“Tweens are at a tricky age between childhood and adolescence, so finding gifts to appeal to them can be a challenge for some gift givers,” says Montgomery Ward Spokesperson Elizabeth Mangone. “But we’ve worked hard to find some unique gifts for kids who are just a little too old for toys.”

Tweens spending time listening to music will love our BoomChair Boom Buddy! The BoomChair Boom Buddy is VIP seating anywhere tweens hang out.

With a plush microsuede surface, this super-soft, ergonomic design transforms any spot into the best seat in the house! $89.99.
