I made this list because I know how tricky it can be to find the perfect gift. As a 17-year-old girl myself, I wanted to put together products that I personally love, use, or would be so excited to receive. These aren’t just random picks — they’re thoughtful, cute, and meaningful items that make gifting feel special instead of stressful. Whether it’s for birthdays, holidays, or just to surprise your bestie, these products are the kind of gifts that make someone feel seen and appreciated. I’ve chosen things that are fun, aesthetic, and practical — the kind of stuff girls actually want (not things that end up sitting in a drawer). I believe gifting should feel personal, and every product here has that little extra touch that turns a simple gift into a memory. They’re versatile, affordable, and girl-approved — because I know exactly what makes us smile. 💕 So if you’re stuck wondering what to buy, or just want something that’s guaranteed to be loved, this list is for you. These are my go-to gifting recommendations, and I promise they’ll make your gifting easier and way cuter. 🌸

I’ve put together this list of my favorite experiences from my time in Bali – I’m 17 and I’ve been lucky enough to spend 3 months here, exploring, learning, and finding the most unforgettable things to do. From cultural workshops to adventurous activities and the most magical sights, these are the moments that truly made my Bali trip so special. Every experience on this list is something I personally tried and loved, and I’d recommend them to anyone visiting Bali. Whether it’s creative, relaxing, or adventurous, these must-dos are what made me fall in love with the island even more. 💚

I’ll be honest – I’m always cold. I have Raynaud’s, which means my hands and feet freeze so easily, so staying warm in winter isn’t just about comfort for me, it’s a must. Over time, I’ve built up a little collection of pieces that not only keep me cozy but also make me feel chic and put-together. These are my go-to essentials that get me through every autumn and winter. All of these pieces are my personal must-haves because they combine warmth with style. They keep me comfortable despite being someone who is always cold, and they’re the things I reach for day after day as soon as the temperature drops. If you’re like me and need extra warmth (while still wanting to look chic), these are the pieces I’d 100% recommend. ❄️🧣✨

As a teen girl myself, I know how hard it can be to find gifts that actually feel exciting, useful, and fun — not just random things that end up sitting in a drawer. That’s why I made this Teen Girl Xmas List 2025 🎀🎄💝 filled with everything I truly love and use every day. From budget-friendly little treats (the kind of gifts you’d be SO happy to get from your bestie) to bigger splurge-worthy presents that feel extra special, this list covers it all. These are products I’ve tested, loved, and honestly get so many compliments on — so you know they’re worth it. Whether it’s beauty, cozy essentials, cute accessories, or fun lifestyle finds, I wanted to make sure there’s something for every vibe and every budget. I think what makes this list special is that it’s written by an actual teen girl 💕 so you’re getting real recommendations, not just what adults think we’d want. If you’re a parent, sibling, or friend shopping for a teen girl, this is going to make Christmas shopping 10x easier. And if you’re like me and just love curating your own wishlist, this is the perfect inspo to send around too 👀✨ Basically, if you want Christmas morning to feel magical, cozy, and full of the kinds of gifts teen girls really get excited about — this list is for you 💌

My Cozy Autumn Faves ✨ I’ve always loved autumn—the cozy weather, warm drinks, and that feeling of comfort in the air. For me, nothing completes that vibe more than a gourmand perfume. These are the scents that make me feel put together, feminine, and cozy all at once. Every time I wear one of these, I get so many compliments—people always ask what I’m wearing because gourmand perfumes just have that addictive, sweet aura that draws others in. They smell like a mix of desserts, cozy cafés, and warm blankets, but still elegant enough to feel like a signature scent. 🍂 Why I love them & why you’ll love them too: • They’re perfect for autumn/winter, wrapping you in warmth like a cashmere sweater. • Sweet notes like vanilla, almond, caramel, and cocoa feel delicious without being too much. • They last beautifully and leave a trail that always gets noticed. • Each one is like a little mood boost—comforting, feminine, and fun. If you’re someone who loves feeling cozy, smelling amazing, and collecting compliments everywhere you go, gourmand perfumes are the ultimate must-have.

Having long hair while traveling and living in hot, humid places like Southeast Asia for 6 months has really taught me how important good haircare is.

These are the products that keep my hair soft, shiny, and healthy even after long travel days, salty swims, and endless sunshine.

These products are honestly worth every bit of space in your suitcase or shelf because they don’t just make your hair look good, they keep it strong and happy too. 💆‍♀️✨
