Aesthetics & Trends

December 15, 2024

If you are shopping for a teen, it can be hard to figure out what exactly to get them. Fear not!

From one teen to another, we are experts on what teens actually want to receive as a gift for the holidays— and because no teen is exactly the same, we have actually sorted it out based on what type of gift teens would want based on their interests.

Without further ado, check out below for some affordable yet useful gifts that your favorite teens will actually thank you for:

For The Trendy Teen

Does your teen like being in front of the camera, love the world of social media, and are overall in tune with everything that all the influencers and celebrities are talking about nowadays? They will absolutely love the below.

My personal favorite is the Stanley water bottle because of how useful it is, the Polaroid camera because it is such a classic, and also the silicon phone case gripper- it’s a total staple for Gen Z’ers who live on camera.

For The Beauty Guru Teen

If the teen you know loves everything makeup and beauty-related, this is for them. Makeup doesn’t have to be overpriced, and the below brands are well-acclaimed and beloved.

Plus, nothing does it like a classic essential that they can pop into their school bag or purse.

The Laneige lip oil in particular is a huge hit amongst Gen Z, and I have been seeing them EVERYWHERE.

For The Skincare & Wellness Obsessed Teen

Wellness is the new hot topic, and Gen Z cannot get enough of it. Everyday there is some kind of new wellness trend, whether that be eating sea moss or doing pilates every day— and for your teen that loves to take care of themselves, these are some excellent trendy items that they will love.

The Gisou Hair Oil has been such a trendy hit recently, and the bottle looks stunning on a beauty shelf. I also love the checkered makeup bags– it’s so cute and perfect for travel days. I’m also a huge personal fan of the face roller; those genuinely work and I love using them in the mornings before a school or work day.

For The Active Teen

If you want to gift someone sporty and athletic something meaningful and something they will genuinely get a use out of, refer to the below.

I personally love a fitness tracker as a holiday gift– it’s so multifunctional, and I love how convenient it is to not only track my health but also check the time, receive text notifications, and so much more!

For Teens In Need of Quality Perfume

Part of growing up is getting a nice luxurious perfume– I said what I said! It feels good to have something nice and fancy, and it’s something that gets used every day, making it such a thoughtful yet practical gift.

I scoped through Amazon for the best deals, and the below are such a steal!

For The Music Loving Teen

If your teen loves listening to music, curating Spotify playlists, and going to concerts, give them some speakers and high-quality headphones to host their own jam sessions.

Plus, they will come in so handy for school when they want to listen to music while working.

These speakers have some of the best top reviews on Amazon, and they’re on sale for an amazing pricepoint right now:

For The Jewelry Loving Teen

Jewelry is a must-have for any outfit to look good, and Amazon actually has an amazing quality of jewelry that do not tarnish easily.

So many of my Gen Z friends get their jewelry from Amazon, and the top reviews for the below jewelry say it all! Plus, I love the adorable jewelry trinket dishes they have.

For The Nail Art Loving Teen

If your teen loves doing their own nails and is getting into doing cool designs, the below are the perfect gift to help them foster their creative hobby!

Having cute chic gel nails is a huge thing nowadays, and your teen will love getting to do their own with the cutest designs they will love.

For The Homebody Teen

If your teen loves their room more than anything else, consider getting them something they can use to decorate their space.

Personally, I adore the TeeTurtle stuffed animal– it’s a hugely trending stuffed animal, and they will love having it on their bed, ready to cuddle anytime!

For The Teen with A Sweet Tooth

If your teen loves anything sweet and will never say no to a sweet treat, get them a personalized candy basket with their all time favorites!

My personal favorite is the mocktail mixer pack– it’s made with real fruit and is low in sugar, making it a healthy option, and it’s such a fun gift!

Random Stocking Stuffers

Last but not least, sometimes, you just need something random but useful to include in the stocking stuffers.

My personal favorite is the waterproof deck of playing cards and the mindfulness journal– these are perfect to have not only as a teen, but in the long-term! Plus, the Herschel wallet is such a great pick for a high-quality wallet they will use every day. Consider adding in their favorite gift cards inside, and you are all set!
