We hope you enjoy learning about this unique online toy boutique.
Shopping for any teenage girl is no easy task. You need the “perfect” outfit to match the “perfect” shoes in the “perfect” color. When I asked my 13 year old stepdaughter to tell me what kind of toys she is in to, I got THE stare. THAT stare that read, “I’m not a baby” without her even having to say it.
As a parent (or stepparent) to a teenager, it can be very difficult for us to let go of the fact that we don’t have babies anymore. Which makes buying toys for birthdays or any holidays exceptionally challenging. So when I was introduced to Wicked Uncle, I was very impressed by the user friendly website that divided the site by gender and age.

“She’s 13 and she approved this message.”
My stepdaughter (like most teenagers) is very vocal and will let you know her thoughts on everything. I’m happy to report that each of these toy reviews were pre-approved by her. When I asked what her reasons were behind her suggestions, she stated that all her choices were based on what’s trendy and fun.
She tends to lean more towards activities that require more than one person. At this age, its difficult to know when we as parents are welcomed to “play” with their “toys” with them. When I asked her if these were “toys” that she would like to play with us. She replied “Sure. If my friends aren’t over.” A small victory in deed!
Another factor was practicality. She stated that she also enjoyed the more conversational piece items. Things that she can share with her friends and talk about in depth. For example, the presidential eraser. She’s in 7th grade and just started civics this year. She is sure that it will spark a conversation once November’s presidential election rolls around.
There were other items on the list that she stated were “pretty” or “cool”. Music to any parent of teenager’s ears! We’ve already bookmarked a good chunk of the list for her upcoming birthday and Christmas. She even suggested some things she knows her friends would appreciate and we saved those too for future gifts.
I didn’t think toys would still be a staple at this very tender and sensitive year in a girl’s life. But so happy we found a website that makes us enjoy more family time together!
Apparently I’m a 13 year old girl at heart still because between those socks, the jellyfish lamp, and a few others, I’m in love!
Such great options and great to know when searching for gifts!!!
My thoughts exactly when I was reviewing this list with Bella. Sequins duffle bag for Mommy Trip next year, please?
I love these myself!!! Lol
I think we all secretly stay 13 year girls forever <3
