Choosing the best gifts for teenage girls can feel like trying to keep up with TikTok trends—blink, and you're already behind. Between the latest beauty crazes, the influx of influencers on their screens, and teens having very specific opinions about what's cool, finding something they'll actually love (and use) is no small feat.
But don't panic: To help you navigate the ever-changing tastes of Gen Z and Gen Alpha, we've rounded up 37 fun, practical gifts that got the stamp of approval from actual teens we talked to. Think viral beauty favorites from Rhode, Summer Fridays, and Glow Recipe; makeup sets from Dior and Charlotte Tilbury; and in-demand accessories like Jellycat plushies (which, frankly, our editors want for themselves). We've also thrown in a few tech favorites, from colorful over-ear headphones to instant cameras, for teens whose wish lists go well beyond the beauty aisle.

Sugarmint Trio Limited Edition Skincare Set
Sephora
Leave it to teens to make wearing undereye patches out of the house a fashion statement. Rhode's limited-edition Sugarmint Trio gives them everything they need to join the trend, starting with the brand's cooling Eye Prep patches for a quick dose of hydration (and a selfie opportunity, naturally). There's also Glazing Mist to refresh dry, winter-weary skin and Peptide Lip Boost to keep lips soft and glossy when temperatures drop. Consider it a pared-down cold-weather skin-care routine, Hailey Bieber-approved aesthetic included.

First, can we acknowledge how unfair it is that teens today get to skip the awkward hair phase entirely? Tools like L’ange’s Le Volume 2-in-1 Titanium Brush Dryer make achieving a bouncy, salon-worthy blowout almost too easy, combining the power of a blow-dryer and round brush to smooth frizz and pump up the volume in one step. Choose the 60mm oval barrel for shoulder-length or shorter hair, or the 75mm version for longer lengths.
