8 Fresh Gift Ideas For Teen Girls

Teens have strong opinions about what they like, and those opinions change fast. These eight ideas lean toward things she can use every day or collect over time. Pick the one that sounds most like her.

1. Owala FreeSip Water Bottle

For the teen who carries a bottle from first period to practice. The Owala FreeSip is an insulated stainless steel bottle with a built-in straw and a wide opening, so she can sip or swig. The lid locks closed to prevent leaks, and it comes in plenty of colors and patterns, so you can match her style.

2. Jellycat Amuseables Bag Charm

A small, soft character clipped to a backpack or purse is an easy way for a teen to show some personality. Jellycat makes a whole line of Amuseables bag charms shaped like foods and everyday objects, including a pickle, a baguette, and a peach. Pick the one that matches her sense of humor.

3. Sonny Angel Mini Figures

These little collectible figures come in sealed blind boxes, so she does not know which one she is getting until she opens it. Each series has a set lineup plus a few rare surprises. The Animal series is a good place to start. It suits the teen who likes to collect and display small things on a desk or shelf.

4. Olive & June Press-On Nail System

Press-on nails have become a regular part of many teens’ routines, and a kit saves her from buying the extras one by one. The Olive & June Press-On System comes with the nails plus the tools to put them on and take them off. It is a good fit for a teen who likes to change her look often.

5. Zebra Mildliner Highlighter Set

Mildliner pens have a fine tip on one end and a broad tip on the other, in soft, see-through colors. They work for color-coding class notes, decorating a planner, or dressing up pages in a journal. A good pick for the organized teen or the one who loves stationery.

6. Burt’s Bees Party Pack Lip Balm

A cheap, useful stocking stuffer. The Party Pack has four flavors: birthday cake, waffle cone, strawberry shortcake, and cookies and cream. She can keep one in her backpack, one in her coat, and share the rest with friends.

7. Lightweight Robe

Teens want to be comfortable and look cute at the same time. A soft, lightweight robe in her favorite color helps with both. She can wear it around the house, pack it for a sleepover, or bring it to a college dorm someday.

8. Magazine Subscription

A magazine in her name is a nice way to support what she is into. Find out whether she likes fashion, current events, tech, cooking, pop culture, travel, or crafting, then pick a title on that topic. Issues arrive at her home all year, so the gift keeps showing up.

If you are not sure, ask a friend of hers what she has been talking about lately. A small gift that matches her current obsession usually beats a big one that misses.
