72 Best Gifts for Teen Girls, Approved by Teens

Picking out the best gifts for teen girls—or the perfect gifts for teens in general—can drive even the most well-meaning person up the wall; by the time you work your way onto a waitlist for the latest TikTok makeup drop or beauty product, it’ll sell out. Or perhaps what she’s into has changed since you asked a month ago. Either way, we’re here to assure you that the perfect present for teenage girls (and gifts for tweens!) does exist. Whether you’re shopping for a birthday gift for your soon-to-be 13-year-old daughter or rushing to find a gift for sisters in high school who have everything, rest assured, there’s a unique present out there.

Even if you’re not fluent in TikTok, finding thoughtful gifts for teen girls is really about tapping into their specific interests. Maybe she’s a budding photographer looking to give her pics the true Y2K treatment. Get her an instant camera that prints photos immediately (or photo printer or cutie frames for her fave pics). Hook up your sleepover hostess with a vibe-y sunset lamp projector or galaxy light. Got a cozy queen on your hands? Go the route of a burrito blanket or The North Face puffer. Does she film GRWM videos in her room? A tabletop fridge stocked with trending skin care products like the Laneige lip mask and Rhode peptide lip treatment is sure to impress.

Still stuck? All the teen girls we spoke to—even the 18-year-olds—said jewelry was at the top of their wish lists (including friendship bracelets; thank Taylor Swift for that). They also said loungewear (it’s true, teens love leggings), perfume, makeup, hair care (heatless curlers are all the rage), and of course Uggs would thrill them. Plus, if they haven’t already snatched one up, Stanley tumblers are still oh-so-trendy. And for the most delightful gifts on our list, Squishmallows will put a smile on truly everyone’s face.

Below are the very best gifts for teenage girls, all of which come highly recommended from the Gen Z girlies we spoke to, teens on TikTok, and Glamour editors who have teens in their families. Many also happen to be best-selling Amazon products, in case you’re looking for something to arrive ASAP.
