Teens are always hard to shop for, no matter the holiday. Just when you think you have an idea of a great gift to wow them, they change their mind and decide to dislike a new item every week. Lucky for you, I did some sleuthing and asked teens, eavesdropped at my daughter’s cheer practice, and scoured the Internet to compare a list of the best gifts for teens girls of all ages will actually be excited to receive this year. From celebrity-approved athleisure wear from brands like Alo Yoga and Lululemon to top-rated beauty gift sets, fashion and beauty lovers will rejoice when they open one of these packages. Plus, we also found picks for music lovers, gamers, and teens who love to be in the kitchen.
And for this guide to the best gifts for teen girls, we askedsome of the actual teenage girls on SheKnows’ Gen Z Council, and they came through! Ahead, see 36 of our favorite gifts for teens girls.
