Tracking down the best gifts for teenage girls – and gifts for tweens in general, actually – can drive even the most discerning of gift-buyers up the wall. It's not for lack of trying, of course. It's just that knowing what's cool on TikTok is pretty tricky when you're not, well, on TikTok.
The teenage girls of today have obsessions much different to those that defined your formative years. They've most likely completed Netflix. And they're flames with everything pop-cultural. Add that to the fact that there's a huge difference between the teenage girl gifts that 13-year-olds want and those that an 18-year-old would, and you've got yourself an almighty challenge.
But don't just hand every teenage girl an unwanted gift voucher this Christmas. Instead, tap into her specific interests and buy something that'll get her hyped. Gift the cosy Queen a ditsy new pyjama set, burrito blanket or pair of fuzzy slippers, and the sleepover frequenter her very own overnight bag. Got a future MUA on your hands? A trending skincare gift set from Laniege or these smiley-face pimple patches will go down a treat, and the budding photographers in your life will adore Instax's new Instant Photo Printer.
Still not excited? Initial necklaces, loungewear, slogan t-shirts or a new-release Stanley cup are fail-safe choices. Along with the rest of this edit of trendy bestsellers that she'll actually wind up WhatsApping her best friend about.
