66 BEST GIFTS FOR TEEN GIRLS, ACCORDING TO TEEN GIRLS (2023)

If you want to find the perfect gift for a teen girl, use this list of ideas based on gifts currently popular with and coveted by teens (as verified by my teen daughter and her friends). 

It can be quite hard to find gifts that will truly delight teenagers. The days of filling a Christmas stocking with toys are long gone. Plus, teens can be very fickle about what they like. Then there’s the influence of social media, and TikTok trends can play havoc with a gift list. 

As the parent of a teen, I thought I’d make it easy for anyone searching for birthday or Christmas gift ideas by listing all the things that my daughter and her friends either already own and love or would love to own. These gifts are great for 13-year-olds right the way through to 18 and 19-year-olds.

Having done my time in the editorial department of several glossy magazines, I’m pretty good at keeping up with the latest trends, but I have to admit that keeping up with teen trends takes a certain level of dedication, so I am very glad to have my own teen to help point me in the right direction. 

So, whether you have a daughter who is a teen Harry Styles fangirl or a sporty teen or really into beauty and style or all of the above, I’ve got you covered.

Here is what I’ve come up with; I hope these ideas and suggestions come in useful as a gift guide.

TOP 66 GIFTS TEEN GIRLS WANT (AND WILL LOVE AND USE)

I’ve put in the time and research to ensure this list is peppered with unique gift ideas that your daughter or the teen girl you are gift-buying for will be bowled over you bought her.

Let’s kick off with a list of beauty products that are on many teen girls’ lust lists.

14 GORGEOUS BEAUTY PRODUCTS TEEN GIRLS WILL ABSOLUTELY LOVE 

I’ve focused this curation on beauty brands and products that teen girls hanker after at the moment. Many of these beauty products have blown up on TikTok over the last few months. 

Some are relatively inexpensive and great as filler gifts. Others are more expensive and make for great luxury beauty gifts that teens won’t be buying for themselves. 

All of the products on the list have hundreds of rave reviews. Plus, I am lucky enough to have a teenage daughter eager to try out beauty products in the name of research (or who has been given these items as gifts from her dad and me or her friends in the last few months), so I have mentioned where we actually have the product at home, use it and love it. 

  1. e.l.f. Cosmetics Glossy Lip Stain
  2. e.l.f. Cosmetics Glossy Lip Stain
    £15.36 £12.99 (£43.30 / 10 ml)

    E.L.F Glossy Lip Stain has blown up on TikTok in 2023. It's all about low-maintenance beauty. It can be applied and then blotted so that it doesn't have to be constantly reapplied throughout the day.

  3. e.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter
  4. e.l.f. Halo Glow Liquid Filter

    E.L.F Halo Glow Liquid Filter is a super popular Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter dupe loved by teen girls whose pocket money doesn't quite stretch to Charlotte Tilbury prices.

    Buy from Boots
  5. RARE BEAUTY Soft Pinch Liquid Blush
  6. RARE BEAUTY Soft Pinch Liquid Blush
    £22 (at time of publication)

    Rare Beauty is one of those rare celebrity brands that is truly good in its own right. The liquid blushes are a particular favourite with teens wanting to perfect a radiantly natural-looking glow

    Buy from Sephora
  7. GLOW RECIPE Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops
  8. GLOW RECIPE Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops
    £18 for 15ml (at time of publication)

    Niacinamide is one of the go-to active ingredients for teens wanting something to calm redness and smooth and soothe bumpy skin.

    Glow Recipe's Dew Drops have reached cult status this year. 1. It's a great product, and 2. The bottle looks great on a dressing table. It is expensive for teen purses, so it's a real treat of a gift.

    Buy from Sephora
  9. Revlon Oil Absorbing Volcanic Face Roller
  10. Revlon Oil Absorbing Volcanic Face Roller

    The early teen years are when the skin starts to get more oily and potentially troublesome. This roller is a TikTok favourite for helping soak up the excess oil and keeping skin looking its best. My daughter has one and totally rates it.

    Buy from Amazon Buy from Boots
  11. DIOR Addict Lip Glow Oil
  12. DIOR Addict Lip Glow Oil

    Dior Addict Lip Gloss is an absolute cult beauty favourite and a total luxury for the average 13-year-old. But if your teen has an eye for luxury beauty brands, this is one treat that she is absolutely going to love.

    Buy from Boots Buy from John Lewis
  13. NYX Professional Makeup Bare With Me Concealer Serum
  14. NYX Professional Makeup Bare With Me Concealer Serum
    £11.50 £10.00 (£10.42 / 10 ml)

    NYX is a super popular beauty brand with my teen daughter and her friends. This concealer serum is huge on TikTok in 2023. Teens love it because it gives medium coverage in serum form, which means that it can be applied to blemishes without it overloading them with oil or looking unnatural. It comes in 13 shades. It's also great on dark circles and for evening out skin tone.

  15. Revlon One-Step hair dryer and volumiser (mid to long hair)
  16. Revlon One-Step hair dryer and volumiser (mid to long hair)
    £62.99 £42.89

    This is quite possibly the most amazing hair-styling tool I have ever owned. It has transformed how I dry my hair because it makes it so darned easy to style... which is why I am forever finding this wonder brush in my teen daughter's bedroom. So I think it would make the perfect gift for teen girls with mid to long hair who want a quick and easy way to dry and style their hair. There is also a version for short to mid-length hair.

    Buy from Amazon
    09/22/2023 10:28 pm GMT
  17. The Flat Lay Makeup Bag
  18. The Flat Lay Makeup Bag

    My daughter has this exact bag. It holds tonnes of products and opens out flat (the clue is in the name!), making it super easy for girls to find stuff in and simply scope up and shut when they need to dash.

    Buy from Boots Buy from Sephora
  19. MYLEE 15 Seconds Cure Convex Curing® LED Gel Polish Nail Drying Lamp KIT
  20. MYLEE 15 Seconds Cure Convex Curing® LED Gel Polish Nail Drying Lamp KIT
    £67.99 (£5.71 / 100 ml)

    Teen girls seem to be way more into their nails than back in the day, but given that most younger teens don't have the cash to visit a nail salon on the regular, an at-home kit is a great gift idea. My daughter and I share this kit, and both use Mylee gel polish as well. It does a great job of curing gel nails, and there are some lovely colours in the range.

    Buy from Amazon
    09/22/2023 10:18 pm GMT
  21. Danielle Creations Rose Oil Infused Pink Super Soft Turban Hair Towel
  22. Danielle Creations Rose Oil Infused Pink Super Soft Turban Hair Towel
    £11.44 (£11.44 / count)

    We are huge fans of these hair turbans in this house. My teen daughter and I both have hair that has a tendency to frizz, but wrapping our hair in a turban to dry rather than towel drying it really helps to tame that frizz.

    Buy from Amazon
    09/22/2023 10:28 pm GMT
  23. Kitsch Satin Heatless Curling Set
  24. Kitsch Satin Heatless Curling Set
    £19.99 £12.99 (£4.33 / count)

    This is one item we have yet to buy, but it's on my teen's wishlist. Apparently, it takes a hot minute to work out how to use these heatless curlers, and you will need a butterfly clip or two to help secure your hair as you work, but they are hugely popular at the moment.

    Buy from Amazon
    09/23/2023 11:48 pm GMT
  25. Futuredew – Glossier
  26. Futuredew – Glossier
    £26 (at time of publication)

    If you've ever stood in line waiting to gain entry to the London Covent Garden store, you will know how popular Glossier is with teens. FutureDew gives the kind of iridescent glow that shouts 'expensive beauty product', and it looks mighty fine on a dressing table too.

    Buy from Glossier
  27. LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask Berry 20g | SEPHORA UK
  28. LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask Berry 20g | SEPHORA UK
    £19 (at time of publication)

    This is quite possibly the most gorgeous lip balm ever created. I bought a pot almost a year ago, and my daughter's eyes lit up when she saw it, as it has been all over TikTok.

    It comes with a little spatula in a pouch that helps keep it hygienic. You only need a tiny amount, so the jar is still going strong almost a year after buying it. It would make a gorgeous stocking filler gift.

    The Uniqlo Mini Shoulder Bag is one of the hottest bags of the year... and it's from a mainstream high street brand at a price that doesn't even make you flinch. It's way cooler than a bumbag and has started popping up at this summer's festivals as the bag of choice.

  7. Adidas Samba OG
  8. Adidas Samba OG
    £90 (at time of publication)

    The Adidas Samba is in a close-run race with the Adidas Gazelle as the shoe of the year. Having worn Gazelles through the early 90s, it's been lovely to welcome them back and see teens trotting around in them. But accordingly, to my teen, it is the Samba that has edged ahead, and the black and white colourway is the one to have.

    Buy from Adidas

  18. The Pleasing T-Shirt in Sunshine Yellow
    £66 (at time of publication)

    For parents not in the know, Pleasing is Harry Style's brand. So, if you have a teen who is a Harry Styles fan, they will likely love you even more than they already do if they unwrap a 'Pleasing' gift from you for their birthday or Christmas.

    This T-shirt is ethically crafted, cut and sewn in Los Angeles and made from 100% cotton, using 50% recycled and 50% organic yarn.

    £399.99 £299.00

    I'm in two minds about this whole VR thing, but I know plenty of teens who absolutely love VR, so I'm going to include it.

    The Meta Quest 2 is a standalone headset, i.e. it isn't connected to a device by wires, so it means there is more freedom to move around with it. The downside of standalone headsets is that they are heavier, and the experiences aren't as in-depth as tethered devices.

    This is the Apple TV 4K Wi‑Fi + Ethernet with 128GB storage (3rd generation). Your teenager can have a world of TV and movies at their fingertips, and they can even use Siri to select a show.

  2. 3Doodler Create+ 3D Printing Pen
    £79.99

It can be held in the same way as a regular pen, so it is easy to manipulate. Do note that as this is veering towards the more professional end of the 3D pen market, the filaments are more expensive than more child-focused 3D pens.

8 MUST-HAVE BOOKS THAT MAKE GREAT GIFTS FOR TEEN GIRLS

Here is a roundup of some brilliant ideas for books to buy teen girls. From what I know, it is getting harder to encourage kids of all ages to read. It’s just not nearly as immediate watching stuff ad infinitum on screen.

HOW TO BUY GREAT GIFTS FOR TEENAGE GIRLS

It can be quite a challenge to find great gifts for teenage girls. So here are a few tips to bear in mind when trying to find the perfect gift for your daughter, granddaughter or teen girl you need to find a wonderful gift for.

1. GREAT WAYS TO ELICIT INFORMATION

I find I get the best intel and information from my teen daughter when we’re out walking somewhere together or when we’re sat in the car casually chatting. I try not to ask direct questions about gifts because I usually end up with very to work with in response.

2. KEEP AN EYE ON TRENDS

It’s quite a tall order to keep an eye on teen trends, but being observant about what teens are wearing or chatting about when you are around them – out shopping or in town – can be a great way to gather intel. It is also worth popping into shops that cater to a teen demographic every now and then.

If you happen to be with your teen out shopping for school stuff or basics, it’s worth keeping an eye on the things that catch their eye and making a note for future reference.

3. SIGN UP FOR NEWSLETTERS FOR TEEN FAVOURED BRANDS

Keep track of the latest products via email newsletters or follow your daughter’s favourite brands on TikTok (if you have it) or Instagram to see what’s new and what’s trending.

I’ve put together a big list below of brands that are currently popular with teen girls in the UK.

4. MAKE USE OF MUMS MAKE LISTS!

I spend time tracking the trends and researching gift ideas so that you don’t have to. Make use of my gift lists to find brilliant gifts for your teenager/s.
