Funko Pops are a great gift for anyone from a kid to an adult. These are some of my tweens favorite characters!

Anime Shows
Here are some great reviews from other families on the appropriateness of some of the anime shows out there!
Great list of tween recommended animes! Animes have a lot of adult themes, despite being a cartoon, so we are very careful what we allow our 12 year old to watch. We want him to enjoy this genre but keep him safe as well.
