Actually Useful Gifts for Tween & Teen Girls They'll Really Want
10
items Shopping for tween and teen girls can be weirdly difficult—especially when you want something they'll actually use instead of politely thanking you and forgetting about it. I've rounded up trendy, practical and fun gifts at a mix of prices, including...
There are a million belt bags now, but this is still the one a lot of girls actually want. It's small enough that it doesn't feel like carrying a purse but has enough room for a phone, wallet, lip gloss, keys and the other things that somehow accumul...
LuluLemon Everywhere Belt Bag 1L
A hand sanitizer sounds boring until it's Touchland. These are small enough for a school bag or belt bag, come in genuinely cute scents and somehow manage to turn something practical into something girls actually want to carry around. This would also...
Touchland Power Mist Hydrating Hand Sanitizer
Phones take better pictures, but that's completely beside the point. Instax cameras are fun because the photo immediately becomes something physical she can stick on her wall, put in a journal or give to a friend. The pastel colors make the camera it...
Fujifilm Instax Mini 12 Instant Film Camera
This may be one of the safest under-$10 teen gifts on the list. It gives the glossy lip look that's everywhere without requiring you to choose an exact lipstick color, and at this price you could easily pair it with another small beauty item to make ...
e.l.f. Pink Quartz Glow Reviver Lip Oil
If you're buying for a fragrance-obsessed teen, this is an easy one. The mini size keeps the price reasonable, fits easily in a bag and still feels like receiving one of the beauty products everyone knows. The pistachio, salted caramel and warm vanil...
Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Crush Body Fragrance Mist Mini
Personalized room decor is one of my favorite teen gifts because it feels like it was actually chosen for her. A neon-style sign with her name instantly changes a bedroom, gives her a fun background for photos and feels much more personal than anothe...
Custom Neon Name LED Personalized Sign
This is the splurge option for the list. If you're buying for a teen who listens to music constantly and has Beats specifically on her wish list, the Solo 4 feels like a major gift without going all the way up to AirPods Max territory. Watch for sale...
Beats Solo 4 Bluetooth Wireless On Ear Headphones
Caboodles have come all the way back around, and this is one retro trend that's actually useful. There are compartments for lip products, nail polish, hair accessories, skincare or jewelry, plus a mirror. It's especially good for a tween who's just s...
Caboodles On The Go Girl Funfetti Case
This feels a little more polished than a typical teen journal. You can personalize the cover and choose what actually goes inside—lined pages, blank pages, a planner or other formats—so it's useful whether she's a writer, doodler, list-maker or organ...
Personalized Initials Journals by Jennifer Postorino
This is exactly the kind of inexpensive little accessory teens can actually personalize to their own aesthetic. Names, initials, hearts, bows, fruit, crystals and Y2K-style beads are everywhere, and the charm can work on a phone, camera or bag. It's ...
