The holidays are here and that means picking up the perfect gift. But finding something special for the teenager in your life isn't always easy. Trends change and tastes can be fickle. The key to purchasing a great gift for a teenager is getting them something that they'll actually want to use. If you're not sure where to start, we're here to help.
From a game based on TikTok to fashion that will empower any adolescent girl, we have hand-picked 25 fun gifts that any teenager will love. Tech junkies will be thrilled to get wireless headphones, while the social media mavens will get a lot of use out of Heyday's ring light with a tripod. Another great option for teens that love gadgets and games is the Nintendo Switch, which has the option to play handheld or display it on your TV.
But if you have a teenager who is more into crafts than computers, there is still a lot to choose from. For instance, a psychedelic cat puzzle will keep them busy for hours, while Copic's set of markers allows them to express their creativity. Another appreciated gift could be a Polaroid camera set, so they can capture memories with friends and family. Or, if they're into comfort, what about some fuzzy slippers that look like sneakers or an enormous, stretchy blanket for snuggling up and keeping warm? These are essential accessories for rainy and snowy days.
We've also selected some home decor items for teens who love to make their bedrooms their sanctuary. An artistic tapestry inspired by Italy's Cinque Terre will add color to any wall. Likewise, a Scandinavian vanity set will give them a place to store their bath and beauty products, as well as space to put on makeup and jewelry. Then, to add some lumination, how about wrapping up a set of string lights? If you choose well, then these gifts might be treasured items that teens will take with them to college so they can feel at home, even in their dorm room.
Finding the perfect gift for a teen doesn't have to be difficult. You just need a little imagination to tap into their interests and you'll be sure to see their faces light up on Christmas morning.
Looking for a cool gift that a teenager will actually want to use? We've got the 25 best gifts that every teen wants.
