When children are little, it's nearly always very easy to find them a great gift. The simplest things can make them smile and beam as if you are the best parent in the world. However, as your child inches toward their teen years, the situation can become much different. If they have all of the latest gadgets and are a whiz at the computer, you might be torn concerning what gift to get them for their birthday or a holiday. The following tips can give you some cool ideas about how to purchase a present that will make them light up again.

Anything Space-Related Is Sure To Please

If you really want to give your pre-teen child a gift they will love, anything space-related is sure be well-received. To some pre-teen youngsters, space represents the final frontier, that one part of the world that they can see but just can't get to. You can invoke more of that sense of wonder by getting them a space-related gift.

Your present doesn't have to cost a lot of money to be meaningful. An alien t-shirt that has a picture of a unique-looking being on it is not only cool; it's also useful. They can wear the t-shirt to school and show it off to all of their friends. 

Telescopes and even space food are also good gifts. Your pre-teen might become so enraptured by the night sky that they begin to make plans for how they plan to transform their love for space into a career when they reach adulthood.

Tie-Dye Kits Are A Lot Of Fun

While you're out there getting the alien t-shirts, you might want to pick up a few plain white shirts as well. Pair these with a tie-dye kit and you've just given your child a present that they can spend hours with, creating clothing that reflects who they are.

Learning how to tie-dye can be a lot of fun. The colors seem so solid at first but when the shirt comes unraveled it reveals a pattern that is unlike any other image you may have seen before. Let your child use their imagination to come up with different ways to make the tie-dye t-shirts come alive.

Purchasing a meaningful present for your pre-teen is really all it takes to buy a cool gift. Let these ideas serve as your springboard as you go out shopping for something they will love.
