How to choose for tweens
- Find out which trends their friends are into right now, since tweens often want what is popular at school.
- Pick skill-based toys like yo-yos or fingerboards that reward practice and give them tricks to show friends.

- Trading cards from a game they don't play, since collections only matter within a series.
