Cool Gifts for Teen Girls
In the Stars Fragrance Mist
I like that this Bath and Body Works spray is inexpensive ($15) and smells yummy like starflower, sandalwood musk, sugared tangelo, white agarwood & radiant amber. It’s currently the only thing my 16-year old wants for Christmas.
Selfie Ring Light
If your daughter takes a million selfies– she probably wants this tool to make her lighting perfect.
Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars
Soft Sherpa Blanket
Soft and cozy, this throw blanket will be a cozy vacation necessity.
Alexa Dot
The Alexa Dot was our successful compromise with our daughter who still wanted to listen to her music in her room but wasn’t allowed to have screen time in her bedroom. Now it’s become a favorite way to play music for both our girls. It’s voice-controlled and you can use it as an alarm, speaker, timer, and more.
Disney Hoodie Mickey Mouse Sweatshirt
Fleece Knit Christmas Slipper Socks
Sofa Chair / Gaming Lounger
What teen wouldn’t love this? A super cute chair that provides great support for reading, meditating, watching TV or playing games.
Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell
Not only will you love the writing but you’ll also love the characters Eleanor and Park, teenagers who are seemingly very different yet fall in love with each other anyway. It’s such a beautiful love story, you won’t want it to end.
Scentsy, Vanilla Buttercream Candle Warmer Wax

As you might know, these are the hottest water bottles for teens these days.
Air Pods
Wireless, rechargeable headphones that fit inside your backpack or pocket.

These comfortable Birks come in many colors — pick your favorite!
Satin Pillow Covers
Protect your skin and hair with silky smooth pillowcases.
Instax Mini 9 Camera Bundle
You’ll get this cool camera PLUS a carrying case, filters, albums, a selfie lens & MORE. My kids think this will be the best gift because it’s a fun thing to do with friends.
An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir
Part historical (ancient Rome) and part fantasy, Elias and Laia live in a world that enslaves them both in different ways — Elias to fight and Laia to serve and spy. This is an epic page-turning series with lots of mystery, action, and a hint of romance. (Buy the whole series while you’re at it!)
iPad Pro + Apple Pencil
Both the Pro and the Apple Pencil have been much-used gifts for both my girls. They’re loving the pencil for drawing apps and think the functionality of the Pro rocks.
Pop Sockets
Don’t forget that Pop Sockets get dirty and lose their stick. Maybe it’s time for an upgrade? Try this cool marble design.
One by Wacom Digital Drawing Tablet
The original Wacom tablets cost $500+ so this is a more affordable option at $60 for kids who want to get started with digital art. Plug into your computer and start drawing!
Switch Lite
This handheld version of the Nintendo Switch is the perfect gift when it comes to price and size for any kid looking for an awesome game console!
The Serpent King by Jeff Zentner
Codenames
This is an exciting word game (think Password) for 2 – 8 players, even better with 4 – 8 players. The gist: two rival spymasters know the secret identities of 25 agents. Their teammates know the agents only by their codenames. Teams compete to see who can make contact with all of their agents first.

Bose high-quality sound with a waterproof, silicone exterior. Charge up to give yourself 8 hours of play time.
