A reader asked me for gift ideas for 13 year old girls. I happen to have a 13-year-old daughter so here’s what I’m learning is cool to give as gifts.
Gifts for 13-Year-Old Girls
Oversized Knit Beanie
This is super cute and WARM!
Moisture Rescue for All Skin Types
This is hands-down the best oil-free, gel-cream face moisturizer with for all skin types, formulated with antioxidant Vitamin C and a Fruit Water Antioxidant Complex.
Cinder
(Lunar Chronicles #1) by Marissa Meyer SCI-FI
This is a great series for kids who are transitioning from middle grade to YA books! When Prince Kai asks Cinder, a human with cyborg parts, to fix something for him, she becomes entangled in a plot that puts her life at risk and the entire country’s fate is hanging in the balance. And, it turns out she’s not who she thinks she is. This is an AMAZING can’t-put-it-down series based on fairy tales like Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Red Riding Hood! And, every book is just as good as the previous book.
Bose SoundLink Color Bluetooth Speaker
Bose high-quality sound with a waterproof, silicone exterior. Charge up to give yourself 8 hours of play time on the go. It’s compatible with Google Now and Siri.
Air Pods
Wireless, rechargeable headphones that fit inside your backpack or pocket.
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.
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.
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 is so much better than their old iPads.
Knitted Touchscreen Texting Gloves
Twinkle Star LED Window curtain String Lights
These make a bedroom beautiful and cozy. These look amazing!

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.
Hydro Flask
As you might know, these are the hottest water bottles for teens these days. And you don’t have to be a VSCO girl to love these either.
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.
Foldable Hi-Fi Wireless Headphones
These aren’t just highly-rated, they’re really a good price, too! We also love that they fold up and come in 7 colors! Other features: stereo sound, ear cushion, wireless mode or wired, and a built-in mic.
Deep Blue by Jennifer Donnelly FANTASY
A seriously good girl power book for teens — this is the story of five mermaids who journey to find each other and then to the sea witches. An ancient evil is being unleashed and not only is trying to kill the girls, but enslave or kill their communities. Very entertaining!
