Need Unique Gifts for Teenage Girl Presents? Trendy & Totally Unexpected Ideas
While it doesn’t feel like it should be time to start thinking about Christmas and all of the shopping that goes along with it, Christmas will be here before you know it.
Finding the perfect unique gifts for teen girls is all about knowing your girl. Yes, it’s true that teenage girls change what they love pretty quickly, but they are also very passionate about what it is that they want. If you don’t spend your days with one, you may find yourself lost when it comes to what to get them. If that’s the case, don’t worry. I spend enough time with teenagers to know some of the hottest things they love this year.
Below, you’re going to find unique gifts for teen girls organized by different passions so you can find something she will love.
Where to Shop for Teen Girls
I’m going to share links mostly from Amazon and Walmart because they are everywhere and convenience is king, but don’t hesitate to shop small if you prefer. Also, finding out where your favorite teen shops and getting them a gift card there will always be a win. Stores that are currently popular with teen girls include brands such as Aviator Nation, Alo, Aerie, and Hollister to start.
If you wind up selecting something from any of the links provided, there’s a chance I could earn commission, but it is at no cost to you. Now, let’s get down to why you’re here.
Teen Girls Love Technology
Portable Printer: I know this is on my daughter’s list. A mini printer lets kids print directly from the phone and creates small physical images or stickers for them to cherish.
Neon lights: Whether it’s a sign that encapsulates who they are or a backdrop light, teens love to illuminate with character.
Record Player: Generation Z’s interest in vinyl has increased. If your girl is loving this classic sound or is really into music, this might be the perfect gift for her.
Phone charger: Having a charger on hand is key with a teen.
A Fujifilm Instax Mini Camera: Teen girls are loving the old school photo taking opportunities with these. It gives off instant, physical prints and has that vintage feel. My daughter has a collage of all of her photos in her room.
Projector: This is a favorite for anyone because new technology makes a projector easy to take along with you.
Laptop Lapdesk: If you’re looking for something for her be able to relax while working on her laptop. This one also has side pockets for her to keep pens, etc.
Self-Care and Beauty
Viral Glow-Up Products: Trendy products like Laneige Lip Sleep Mask or Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm are known to be quality, luxurious products that your teen will love.
Signature Scents: Popular brands like Sol De Janeiro or a new scent like Glossier You Fleur offer mini-sets which are perfect for your girl to try different scents without committing to one.
A Home Spa Experience: Anything from this Manucurist Green Flash Slim LED Nail Gel Kit or high-quality face masks are sure to become a favorite. It encourages a little self-care time without a trip to the salon.
Gift card to a favorite salon: Nails are big business, and teen girls are huge customers!
Sephora gift card: This may be “the gift” for many girls because it gives them the chance to browse the store and find something that they love. Plus, they can sign up for rewards and get special gifts from Sephora for their birthday or when they accrue enough points.
Hair Drying Systems: There are costly versions like Dyson Airwrap or less expensive investments like the Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer and Styler, but no matter what you choose, it’s a great gift.
Hands On Gifts
This section offers ideas for the girls who like to work with their hands. This is the perfect section for those who love creativity, taking on a challenge, and learning new skills.
Candle Making Kit: These are surprisingly affordable. If the girl in your life loves to create, this is perfect. The one listed here is the one my daughter got, and she loves it. It comes with everything to start.
LEGO Set: I was just talking to a 16-year-old girl about how much she loves LEGO sets. She said her friend’s little sister got her into them and now she can’t stop. Select from this LEGO Botanical collection. It’s a fantastic screen-free activity.
Baking Kits: There were too many options to decide on just one, but this is a fantastic gift for any girl who loves to bake, but wants to try her hand at something specific.
For the Cozy Lover
Every girl I know loves to spend time cuddled up while browsing the internet or streaming their favorite shows.
The Comfy: This is the ultimate in cuddle comfort. Basically, it’s a wearable blanket lined with sherpa fleece. (I did see Costco offering something similar, so check your local Costco, too).
Satin Pillowcases: Perfect for any girl! Girls are loving these because it is known to help protect hair from breaking during the night if you toss and turn. Kitsch, the brand known for hair products has their own satin pillow case line, and they offer 17 different designs.
Quality Slippers: There’s nothing better than a quality pair of slippers that are fleece-lined and keep your feet warm on those cold winter nights.
A nice pair of sweatpants: I’m still surprised about the rise of cinched sweatpants. Girls are wearing them everywhere. Stores like Aerie have many options that can be paired with a matching top.
Hoodies: Sweatshirts are always a favorite! Brands like White Fox, Edikted, Aviator Nation, Alo, and Comfrt are known for their sweatshirts. See their faces light up when they open their gifts with some of these popular brands.
