Tweens; that awkward age between child and teen where what to buy for Christmas is actually really really tough. The girls have definitely hit that age now and this year I have been totally stumped on what to buy for them. Of corse I have asked for their input; Maisy said ‘hmmm dunno’ and Bella asked only for a box of Forrero Rocher. Which was really helpful.
