Buying gifts for teenage girls is slightly easier than buying things for teen boys. However, teen girls can be a bit of a mystery and somewhat difficult to understand. They grow up so much faster than boys: they are little girl one day and little women the next. And the things they want and care for change with the same speed. So if you feel lost trying to navigate the likes and dislike of a teen girl we feel your pain.
In this post we have included 40 gifts we think she will love.
Included in this guide:
Art, Music and Crafts
1- Washi Tape
Washi tape is very versatile – girls can use it for so many things, the list is endless! Top of mind examples are bullet journals, calendars to block out days, decor and why not it can be used to hang things, or to package gifts etc… they are so useful and make everything look nicer.
2- Gouache Paint Set
Gouache is an opaque watercolor paint. This is the perfect gift for girls who love art and need a creative outlet. It differs from acrylics or watercolour (which are probably the most common painting techniques) so it’s the perfect gift for learning a new skill.
3- Tie-dye Kit
Another gift for the most creative girls out there. Tie-dye kits became popular on TikTok and are a great and fun way to create unique, personalized and colorful clothing items ,
4- Karaoke Microphone
Karaoke microphones were quite popular a couple of years ago and we feel the craze isn’t over yet! It’s great for building vocal skills and for singing along her favorite hits. It can be used for solos or with friends and family.
5- 3D Drawing Pen
We recommended this mighty pen for teen boys too. We just love it too much and think it makes a great gift. It unlocks imagination and… its just really cool! This particular bundle includes the Super 3D Pen, PLA filament refills and a mat kit.
6- Ukulele
A Ukulele makes a cool gift for those who love music. It’s small, easy to learn without proper lessons. For those who are not yet playing an instrument, it can be the chance to get closer to music and, why not, the catalyst for wanting to learn to play instruments.
7- Vintage Bluetooth Speaker
Are you even a teen if you do not own a Bluetooth speaker that blasts music at every hour of the day and night? We particularly like this vintage model: it’s light, has a great design and sounds great too!
8- Sewing Machine
It’s no surprise that our teens are more and more concern with climate change and materials waste (and rightly so!). Also thanks to TikTok and the concept of circular economy, lots of teens now want to make or amend their own clothes now. This sewing machine is the best option for every beginner looking into “living more green”

9- Eye Makeup Brushes
Some girls like to spend time watching YouTube videos and practicing eye looks. You can never go wrong with some makeup brushes. These are affordable and high-quality.
10- Makeup Brush Cleaner
If she is into makeup but already has every gadget out there why not thinking about how to make sure her tools stay great and healthy. For example, it’s really important to keep makeup brushes clean. For the sake of her brushes, but also for her skin.
11- Hot Air Brush
This tool has a cult-like status for a good reason. Hair will look like she had a salon blowouts whenever she uses it.

13- Light Up Mirror
Good lighting is key when putting on makeup so that it looks natural. The lights in this mirror are just great. It also has magnification so she can get your eyeliner perfect and it closes up and can be stored away when not in use.
14- Nail Dryer
No more smudged nails. This changes her at-home nail game for the better. She can pick the gels and colors she likes best and have her manicure directly in her bedroom saving time and money!

Great tips, but I will definitely add jewelry to this list. For example, my niece turned 16 this month, so I got her an initial bracelet that she wears all the time. It goes perfectly with her style as she loves to dress up. I found the bracelet from an online jewelry store at an affordable price, so I think jewelry can also be a suitable gift without spending too much money.
Thanks for the tip Isabelle!
