Teenage girls know what they want — but you don’t always know what that is! You can of course give gift cards (and they’ll be greatly appreciated), but sometimes it’s more fun to receive a gift to unwrap. And it’s a lot more fun to watch them open it!
If you’re looking for more ideas for under the tree, try some of these suggestions for a little inspiration. And no, these ideas didn’t come from me! I took them straight from my two teenage nieces (and their friends’) wish lists!
21 Best Gift Ideas for Teen Girls

1. Neon Name Sign
Let her personalize her room in style! She will love seeing her name in neon lights.
2. Claw Clips
My teen niece LOVES claw clips and other fun hair accessories. The best part is, there are so many different options and styles so there’s a very good chance she doesn’t have them all yet.
Flower Claw Clips for Thick Hair, Non-Slip Hair Accessories with Multi-Styles, Neutral Colors Hair Claw Clips and Variety Pack, Ideal for Girls
3. Bluetooth Shower Speaker
Make long showers or baths even more relaxing for your teen with this bluetooth speaker. It’s waterproof, so it’s OK if it gets wet, and it’s portable if she wants to bring it with her to hang out with friends.
- Waterproof
- LED lights
- Bluetooth 5.0 technology, connectivity up to 33 feet away
4. Little Words Project Bracelets
This simple beaded bracelet would be great for any tween and it fits so many styles. Choose one of the hundreds of premade words or phrases or make your own! These bracelets have been well loved by me and the teens in my life for years.
A curated assortment of our best sellers. The perfect starter stack! Keep some for yourself and pass some on.
A little reminder to register your bracelets! When you've passed them on, you can track their journey to see who else they've inspired.
5. Cute Highlighters
School supplies, but make them cute! These highlighters are pretty to look at, and also use softer colors that make it easier to read text if your teen finds neon colors distracting.
You could package these with other fun school supplies too — Post-Its, paper clips, pens.
I bought these for my niece and she loved them!
6. Stackable Rings
I love this set of knuckle rings. There are so many combinations your teen can create. I bought these for my own teenage niece and she wears them every day!
- 25 pcs knuckle rings with a box
- High-quality alloy
- Rings are different sizes, from 0.59 in to 0.74 in
7. Owala Water Bottle
This is a must-have accessory in my nieces’ schools. It keeps your water cold, is easy to use, and has lots of color options so your teen will love carrying it.
Owala water bottles come in so many different colors and styles, you’re sure to find one your teen would like!
8. Nike Air Force One Sneakers
Kids these days have so many amazing sneaker options! Even the Air Force Ones have a bunch of different versions to choose from, so you can always find one to fit your teen’s style. My teenage niece is getting a better shoe collection than me and I love seeing the new Nikes she’s loving!
- Rubber sole
- Durable leather upper
- Textile lining for breathability and comfort
- Textile lined, foam padded footbed for cushioning and comfort
- Classic lacing system for a secure and adjustable fit
- Durable, non-slip rubber sole for better grip and traction
9. Lip Gloss
Even if you don’t know what brand or shade of makeup your teen likes, you know they’ll love super shine on their lips. This lip gloss is perfect worn alone or on top of lip stain, and reviews say it’s not tacky or drying.
10. medicube Collagen Overnight Wrapping Peel Off Facial Mask
Sometimes I think the teens know more about skincare than we adults do! This mask will brighten their skin overnight (and bonus: you can try it and see if you like it too!).
11. iPhone Case
If you’ve entrusted your teen with a smartphone, make sure they have a case that will keep it protected. Get one that protects the phone from falls and keeps that nice camera working well.
- Full Body Shockproof Protection
- Protective Camera Design for iPhone 14
- Ultra Soft Microfiber Lining
- Wireless Compatible
12. Olive and June Nail Polish
It’s not a secret that I love Olive & June, and I’m spreading that love to my nieces! O&J nail polish is great for teens who love painting their own nails but want the professional manicure look. There’s polish and press-ons!
- Choose a mani system, press-on nails or just your favorite color of polish
- 7-free polish
- Cuticle care
- Poppy polish bottle handle
13. Notebook
No one has more deep thoughts than a teenager! Whether she wants to use it as a journal, a spot for random ideas, or poetry notebook, there’s never a bad use for a notebook.

- Medium 5.6 inches x 8 inches
- 100 GSM Thick Paper

14. Boba Mix
Has your teen discovered the magic of boba tea yet? It’s so tasty and fun to eat, but if you’re always buying it at a bubble tea place, it can get costly! Give her a boba mix set so she can make all kinds of drinks at home.
- Taiwanese bubble tea with delicious fresh (not dry) tapioca brown sugar pearls, classic milk tea and extra wide paper straws
- 6 Individually wrapped portions of brown sugar flavored Pearl, 2 portions of caramel flavored Pearl, 2 portions of fruity flavored Pearl, 4 classic milk tea packets, 2 creme brulee milk tea packets, 2 taro milk tea packets, 2 passionfruit pineapple green tea packets, & 10 extra wide paper straws.
15. Weekender Bag
She’s got places to go and people to see! This weekender bag is cute and useful for all of her short trips. Sleepovers, camps, family trips; she can use it for wherever she’s going.
16. Chunky Chain Necklace
Paperclip chain necklaces are such a cool way to wear an otherwise plain gold chain. They go with everything and can be worn alone or layered.
17. Magazine Subscription
If you want a gift that lasts past Christmas day, go for a magazine subscription. There are so many options for whatever interests her, and it’ll keep arriving until next Christmas!
- 11 issues/12 months
18. Gel Pens
Some things never change! Gel pens were a must-have when I was in school, and I’m happy to see that teens still love them! This set has more than 100 colors and it has all kinds of glitter, neon and swirly options.
