Don’t get stuck ‘tween a rock and a hard place when shopping for tweens.

Ruum American Kid’s Wear, seller of adorable garb for babies and little kids, also has lots of unique choices for the tween on your list.

The nice folks at Ruum invited me to try out headphone hats and texting gloves for tweens, offered for both girls and boys.

Even though I am more than four times the age of the average tween, I can easily see the appeal. The knit gloves, with fingertips and cuffs in contrasting colors make it easy to LOL even on the coldest day. Mom will appreciate that they are machine washable. SRP: $9.95.

The hats also are fashionably functional. Wired headphones are woven into colorful contrasting patches on either side of the knit cap. No more yelling at kids to put on a hat before they go outside. Just plug and play. SRP: $19.95.

You can buy these cuties online or at Ruum stores, including boutiques at two of my favorite shopping destinations, Cherry Hill Mall and the Plaza at King of Prussia.
