Finding the perfect gifts for teen girls can be a doozy when they’re constantly flip-flopping between TikTok trends and must-have products, changing their minds like they change their clothes. (Teen boys are not exempt from this gift-giving dilemma, either.) One minute they’re all about the twee nails beauty trend, the next, little treat lip gloss.
While there are a ton of gifts for teens and gifts for tweens out there, I used my investigative journalism skills and headed straight to the source to find out what the kids are *really* shopping these days. I’m talking about a foldable mirror that will help her acheive minimalist-perfect skin and a retro-inspired bluetooth speaker she’ll be blasting at all of her sleepovers. With the help from parents and siblings, babysitters, TikTok and the Gen Z teenagers themselves, here are 65 gifts for teen girls that they’ll *actually* be excited to receive.
How I Chose the Best Gifts for Teen Girls
When finding the best gifts for teen girls, I polled PureWow editors and friends who are related to or are parents of teenage daughters to find out just what, exactly, is at the top of their wishlists. I also went straight to the source and asked several 13- to 19-year-olds to share their favorite items, from books to jewelry and beyond. Of course, I couldn’t neglect Gen Z’s favorite social media search engine, TikTok, so I made sure to include a variety of the gift ideas garnering millions of views, like Baggu crescent bags and Amazon puffy headbands. Whether she’s sporty, musically inclined, a bookworm, an aspiring writer, a history buff or simply wants to become the next beauty influencer, this list has something for everyone.
