Finding gifts for a preteen that does not involve electronics can be a little difficult. Every year for my daughters birthday she is allowed to pick either a place to visit or a gift. She has always picked a place to visit. With Covid this year the places she wanted to go we were not comfortable with so we decided to take her and her and a couple of her friends to the beach for the day and get her a gift. Eleven is a hard age to shop for. The items she wanted kept her inside. As my followers know, I prefer my family to be outside as much as possible. My husband and I went back and forth on what to get her.
Last year while visiting friends camp in Maine they had this wonderful tree swing that my daughter basically lived in the whole time we were there and continued to talk about for the next several months. We decide to splurge and get her the swing.
The Trekassy Tree Swing for Kids and Adults was a splurge at $140 on Amazon. We hung the swing on a tree in our backyard. Due to the height of the tree branches we did need another set of adjustable tree straps so my daughter could reach the swing.
The swing is perfect for the preteen or even teen in your life. It holds up to 700lbs so a couple friends can swing with her. My husband and I have even enjoyed the swing.
We have had the swing for about a week and really enjoy swinging on it. The swing was well worth the purchase. Our daughter has used it everyday and has told all her friends about it.
