Teenagers are always the hardest people on my holiday shopping list. There is honestly no one harder to shop for than a teenage girl except for my teenage son (man, is he picky!). So over the year, I take note of the items my daughter (almost 17) wants and add them to a list. Of course, currently, the one item she wants for Xmas is the elusive Shane Dawson + Jeffree Star collaboration make-up set that sold out in a couple of minutes. Fingers crossed the next time it drops, we are one of the lucky ones to get the whole set.
If you have no idea what I am talking about you likely don’t have a child obsessed with make-up or Shane Dawson. Every teenager has unique passions and specific wants. Finding out what excites your teenager just requires listening. They usually divulge lots of information when you keep quiet. But if you are still stumped, I have compiled a list of 25 items perfect for most teenage girls.

Teen Girl Gift Guide
- Vintage Monopoly Book Edition – We still play games as a family every once and a while, and I love that this version comes in a book-style avoiding the always broken box.
- Mini USB Moon Himalayan Salt Lamp – Himalayan salt sanitizes the air and promotes positive vibrations. This one is a darling moon shape and includes a USB charger.
- Billie Eilish Tee – There is no question that Billie Eilish is hot right now. This Urban Outfitters exclusive tee is super cool. You will score points for even knowing who Billie is.
- Ugg Classic Mini Spill Seam – Uggs have been in and out amongst the teenage set but currently they are having an “in” moment. The key is picking a style that isn’t a holdover from last time they were popular like these spill seam minis.
- Eva Cozy Faux Fur Jacket – This jacket is an updated version of the popular teddy bear style jacket from last year. It comes in four great colors and looks far more expensive than it is.
- Free People Adelle Bralette – This bralette is super popular on Instagram. I can hear you saying, I’m not buying my daughter that and if your daughter is the kind to wear it as a top, I totally agree. However, I think it looks darling poking out of another shirt or slouchy sweater.
- Haduko Make-up Case – My daughter and I both use this for traveling. The finish is laminated canvas and internally are two large zip pockets. It holds everything you need and washes easily in case of spills. It comes in a ton of pretty patterns.
- Luxie Rose Gold Brush Set – A good brush set is necessary for great make-up application. I love that it comes in a tidy carrying case to at least encourage organization.
- Louis Vuitton Key Pouch – This is definitely a splurge but will make your daughter feel so special. My daughter got this for her birthday last year and it was one of her favorite gifts.
- Plush Weighted Blanket – This blanket is a game-changer for teens with anxiety and sleep struggles.
- Gorjana Luna Signet Ring – A stylish and fashionable ring that is super affordable.
- Lissie Stretch Bracelet – Available in six colors. Wear it alone or stack them up. Warning – you may want to “borrow” these from your daughter.

- Girlfriend Collective High Waist 7/8 Leggings – The bottoms to the set. Available in 19 colors.

- Madewell Round Sunglasses – Madewell makes quality sunglasses at an affordable price.
- Friends Logo Sweatshirt – If your teenager girl hasn’t binge-watched Friends yet, it is coming. I love sharing one of my favorite shows with her.
- LED Light Strip with Phone App – Twinkle lights are out for teens. LED lights are in. Change colors with the handy phone app.
- Madewell Mini Crossbody Purse – I love the quality of Madewell leather. Perfect size for teenagers who need a place for phone, keys, and wallet.
- Bobbi Brown Nudest Nude Lip Gloss Set – A very wearable lip gloss set for any age teen. Works just as well for your tween as your college-bound child.
- PBTeen Gold Necklace Holder – Perfect for organizing their growing jewelry collection.
- Rebecca Minkoff Nylon Julian Backpack – The leather version is one of my favorite bags. This nylon style is perfect for your teen. Available in six colors including a cool camo and this fun silver.
