Tween Gift Ideas: Pretty Pedicure Salon and Ultimate Nail Studio by Faber Castel

Having taught middle school for several years, I became quite fond of the energetic nature of the tween girl.  With my third daughter at that stage, I am once again faced with the thrill and challenge of maneuvering holidays and birthdays while keeping a balance of fun with maturity, as I browse through some of the retail offerings.  The Pretty Pedicure Salon and the Ultimate Nail Studio by Faber Castel have caught my eye, knowing my tween daughter's taste and interest in fashion, and fun.  Nail care is a surefire bet, as even the youngest daughter in the house loves to have her nails painted, toes and fingers, both.  Balance that interest with a lively display in a set, cute flowers, bright colors, and most tween girls will be thrilled with a package that contains either or both of these. 

A stepping stone to that more sophisticated teenage interest in presentation and appearance, these Faber Castel sets are great fun for the not quite grown up young lady in your life.

Foot care is more important than we may realize, especially for those of us who have had to sit through a surgery on an ingrown toenail. Better to help our young ladies pay attention while pampering their feet. This set includes an inflatable pedicure pool, toe separators, nail polishes (3), and confetti soap, as well as a nail buffer and file.

If you are looking for something just a little more sophisticated, you can put together your own set, with a foot spa, nail polishes, and pedicure tools.  These would be well suited to a teenager.  However, if you are considering the 10-13 year old, this set would be a great starter.

The Ultimate Nail Studio Kit contains a battery operated nail dryer, and nail polish.  It also contains nail art materials, including stickers, and stick on nails.  With toe separators, it is also a great companion gift to the Pretty Pedicure Foot Spa.  Tween girls will love to do their nails, and those of their younger sisters.  I would recommend some additional nail polishes and removers, as well as extra cotton balls.  You'll have her stocking stuffed in no time.

One of the best gifts of the last holiday season was a manicure set for each of my tween and teen daughters.  The sets were identical, which is nice because all three have their own manicure supplies.  The sets included nail care tools, as well as nail polishes, hand and cuticle creams, and a battery operated nail dryer.  The choice was a hit, and is at the top of the list for my tween and teen nieces down the road!  Whether you assemble your own kit, or purchase a fun tween-themed set such as those featured in this article, your daughters, nieces, and grandaughters can really enjoy these sets.
