Gift Guide: Teenage Girls
This post may contain affiliate or sponsored links. Please read our disclosure policy.
These gifts for teenage girls are aimed at roughly ages 14-18. With the help of our own teen girls and their friends, we’ve curated some of the most popular gift ideas right now. We aimed for a thoughtful, well-rounded list with something for every kind of girl.
P.S. You may also find some inspiration on our lists of Tween Girl Gifts, Best Gifts for Teen Boys, or maybe even on our list of Gifts for Moms.
Featured Gifts for Teen Girls
These are some of the hottest items on our Teen Girls Gift Guide this year.
Lululemon Dual Pouch Wristlet
Hot item right now! The on-the-go teen girl can stash her cards, money, and keys in this trendy wristlet dual pouch. Lots of colors to choose from.
Stanley Water Cup with Lid
This is the “it” hydration method for teen girls everywhere right now. My 15-year-old says the light pink colors are the most popular at her large high school.
P.S. Grab these straw cleaners while you’re at it.
Portable Speaker
My daughter and her friends take this little speaker all around the house and outside while they hang out.

Favorite Teen Girl Games
- Poetry for Neanderthals – Can you imagine only using one syllable words or else you’ll get bonked by a (blow up) cave man club? Yes, that’s the hilarious premise of this Catch-Phrase-like game.
- One Night Werewolf – Think of the game “Mafia” with a different setting. Our teens play this one often with groups.
- Jackbox Games – Super fun group games played on the TV. Everyone uses their phones to answer. Note: Some of the games are NOT family-friendly. Here’s a list of the games and which ones are family-friendly (or not).
- Bananagrams – Speed scramble anyone? This is a fun, easy-to-learn game that can be played between 2-8 players. Good one for the whole family.
- Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza – Fun and interactive card game that teens can play just about anywhere.
- Happy Salmon – A 90 second fast paced game that will make everyone laugh. It’s especially fun to watch teens play this. Get your camera out to record. It’s chaotic and hilarious.
- Code Names – We like to play this clever game as a family with our teens. Work in pairs to give clues in code to each other.
Drawing Pencils & Sketch Pad
For the budding artist in your home, grab her some of these drawing pencils and this sketch pad. Both of these products were recommended by a high school art teacher.
Popular Phone Case
Rachel’s teen daughter, who has this phone case and loves it, says everyone has this kind a “clear case with flowers” at school. 😉
Flower Claw Clips
Rachel’s 15-year-old daughter and her friends love these flower claw clips!
Also, these hair bows are back, baby.
Both of these would make good stocking stuffers.
Silk Pillowcase
Good for your hair. Good for your skin. It’d be a delight to sleep on this every night. I’ve heard that this pillow is amazing if you want to make this gift extra special.
$25-$50 Gifts
These light-weight sunglasses are the best! They stay put, look cool, and come in the cutest packaging (great for gifts). So many color combinations to choose from.
Lululemon Belt Bag
In case you didn’t notice, most teen girls (and their moms!) own or want one of these compact belt bags. Teen girls sling it cross body style and use it as a casual purse.
Most popular colors are black and white.
Classic Novel Set for Teen Girls
A super cute, hardcover collection of some of the sweetest classic novels. My daughter has read all of these–some of them multiple times. Box includes: Anne of Green Gables, Heidi, Little Women, and A Little Princess.
Idea: Challenge your teen to read them and then have a fun movie night with her to watch the screen version.
P.S. Another great classic novel set is this beautiful Jane Austen Collection.
Aerie Big Chill Crew Sweatshirt
Super soft and comfy oversized sweatshirt for any teen girl. Check out variety of colors.
Pair with these most popular Aerie leggings for a perfect gift set.
Retro Portable Record Player
An affordable, unique gift for the music-loving teen in your family. This portable record player can go anywhere, has built-in speakers, and connects to bluetooth (so it can be used as a portable speaker too). Gift with a few of her favorite albums in vinyl to go along with it. Great reviews on this one!
To go along with this record player, here are some popular records for teen girls (as chosen by my teen daughter and friends):
Vera Bradley Zip Wallet
This floral Vera Bradly wallet is another popular choice for teen girls to stash their cards and money.
Chunky Blanket
You can’t go wrong getting your teen girl a “curl up and just want to read” blanket! My daughter loves this chunky blanket for it’s coziness and cool aesthetic.
LED Light Strips
These are really popular with both teen girls and boys. They use them in their room and can use the app to sync to music and change colors.
Cute PJs
Soft and cozy, yet not too hot at night. These cute PJs are perfect for a teen girl. (My daughter has a set and loves them!)
Or grab her these cozy PJ pants that she’ll want to live in.
Owala Water Bottle
Stanley tumblers aren’t the only ones taking over the water bottle scene. These brightly colored Owala water bottles rule the school, too, right now.
Gifts for Growing Closer to God
If you want to help your teen girl grow in her relationship with God, we have a few suggestions.
Polly and I both worked in high school ministry for years, our husbands are pastors, AND we parent teen girls. These are some of our favorite Christian resources for teen girls that would make nice gifts:
- Write the Word Journals – We love these simple, doable, aesthetic journals for helping teen girls spend time with God.
- Best Teen Bible Recommendations – From teen devotional to study to journaling Bibles, we narrowed down our best recs.
- Dwell Differently Tattoos – My daughter and I have done this really cool Scripture memorization system together. Easy, trendy way to memorize Bible verses and it comes in super cute packaging. Totally worth the $.
- Brio Magazine – Well done, fun, relevant, and deep magazine for teen girls. Highly recommend!
- Dwell app – Well done membership app for listening to the Bible.
Hammock
Made of high quality heavy duty nylon. This extra soft yet super strong material gives you the most comfortable and relaxing experience ever. My daughter ties this up under our deck and reads and naps there. 🙂
Audible Subscription
I LOVE this idea.
Amazon will send your gift recipient an email on the day you choose along with redemption instructions, or allow you to print and give it directly based on the option you select. That way you can wrap it up if you want.
(Current Audible members will receive all credits from a redeemed gift membership at once. Their current plan will not be extended or interrupted.)
$50 – $100
Nike Pullover Hoodie Sweatshirt
This classic sweatshirt is one that she will wear for years to come. So many fun colors to choose from too.
Photo Printer
Teens have 1,000 photos on their phone but usually only a handful actually printed out. This is one idea to help get hard copies of their favorite pictures off their phone and into frames or on the fridge. No ink cartridges required, and it comes in several fun colors! Grab a set of paper so you can print right out of the box.
Luggage
Christmas is a good time to help your teen start collecting a few luggage pieces. Grab this hard case luggage with wheels in carry-on, medium, or large sizes.
Kendra Scott Jewelry
This line of jewelry is all the rage with teen girls! Layering it with a shorter chain is also popular. Pair it with this 15 inch gold necklace.
Airpods and Case
Every teen girls wants Airpods with a pretty protective case.
Tip: get the older generation Airpods like these to save money. They work well and are cheaper.
$100+ Gifts for Teen Girls
Hoka Bondi 8 Shoes
Ultra stylish, ultra comfy, and ultra versatile athletic shoes for teen girls.
Oversized Cozy Chair
This cozy chair is the perfect accessory for any teen girl’s room! Great for studying, lounging, and listening to music; it comes in several colors. Definitely a favorite!
UGG Slippers
These platform UGG slippers are the perfect comfy, casual shoe for teenage girls in the winter.
Fitbit Smartwatch
This fitness tracker monitors your heart rate all day. It tracks your sleep (awake sleep, deep sleep, awake time) at night. The fitness tracker can track your daily steps, calories consumed, workout distance, and time.

Pam Cherin says
I think the LED light strip would be a really imaginative gift for a teenager (no teenage grandkids yet). I personally have used rope lights through the years outdoors, on top of closets or on plant shelves and love the soft lighting that they emit. These LED light strips look even more flexible and like they’re fun to decorate with. Will keep them in mind for the future. Thanks for all your great ideas this week.
