Holiday Gift Guide for Teenagers

Today I’m sharing a few good options for teens.  I feel like kids get harder to buy for the older they get, so hopefully you’ll find some ideas here!

1 – Headphone Stand with Wireless Charger

For the gamer in your life, or anyone with Beats or other big headphones, this headphones stand/phone charger would make the perfect gift.  It’s the perfect place to dock headphones and charge your phone.

 

2 – Digital Camera

I can’t for the life of me understand why digital cameras are making a comeback with Gen Z as they all have phones that take better pictures than a camera, but here we are.  This digital camera comes in an array of cute colors, it’s small and sleek, and it comes with a 32 GB memory card.

 

3 – Makeup Bag

I love everything about this makeup bag – the pinstripes, the patch, the color assortment, the gold zipper details, the handle.  This would make a great travel bag.

 

4 – 3D Wooden Puzzle Password Box

Jacob was given one of these wooden puzzle boxes as a gift last year, and he loved it so much that he bought the 3D wooden piano, too!  You build them yourself and then they make beautiful display pieces.  There are tons from which to choose, and most of them are interactive – they crank, they play music, etc. 

 

5 – Bluetooth Speaker with Lights

This Bluetooth speaker not only plays sound, but it serves as a night light, a wireless charging station, and a phone holder/charger.  It has buttons that allow you to control volume, skip songs, answer phone calls, and many other things.  It connects not only to phones, but to tablets, computers, and TVs.

 

6 – Amazon Gift Card

Let’s be honest, most teens probably want money or a gift card more than anything, and Amazon has loads and loads of different gift card holders to make your gift card a little more fun.  This little Amazon truck gift card holder is a favorite in our family.  It has actual rolling wheels!

 

7 – Boxing Machine with Boxing Gloves

This boxing machine would be the perfect gift for any sporty kid or teen who is getting serious about working out.  Sleek and compact, this machine offers an immersive experience with nine different modes and speeds to provide a responsive training experience.  It can be mounted with double-sided tape so there’s no need to drill holes into the walls, and it can be adjusted for any height preference.

 

8 – Golden Goose Look-a-Likes

These Havana slip-ons give all the GG vibes with a much lower price tag.  They come in tons of different colors, and the reviews are fantastic!  I have had this exact pair for over a year now, and I couldn’t love them more.  They’re comfortable, too!  I walked all over Chicago in them back in October, and they were great!

 

9 – Nike Crew Socks

What’s old is new again!  These exact Nike crew socks were super popular when I was in high school, and apparently, they’re popular with the Gen Z crowd yet again.  You can never go wrong with socks as a gift – they’re practical and stylish.

 

10 – Simple Modern Tumbler

These Simple Modern Tumblers have been making the rounds in blog land and for good reason.  They are very similar to the Stanley Tumblers, but they’re more affordable and they’re completely spill and leak-proof making them the perfect companion for your middle schoolers and high schoolers while they’re at school.  They’re dishwasher safe and they come with a limited lifetime warranty.  They come in tons of colors and patterns, and Amazon currently has a $7 coupon that you can clip to save money!

 

11 – Kanoodle

This viral TikTok game is a best-selling, award-winning, brain-bending puzzle game that’s great for ages 7+.  The tiny package is easy to carry on the go, yet it includes 200 puzzles from basic to difficult to keep kids busy for hours.  It has 4.7 / 5 stars with nearly 30,000 reviews.

 

12 – Color Changing Lights

These color changing light strands are perfect for any teen who wants to make their room their own.  The light strands are adjustable, and the lights are controlled with a remote and can be customized in so many ways.  They’re also dimmable and you can set timers for them to shut off automatically.  These have 4.4 / 5 stars with over 158,000 reviews!

 

13 – Puffer Belt Bag

Puffer bags are trending for fall and winter, so this twist on the ever-popular belt bag is so fun!  It comes in tons of colors and they’re super affordable.  These would make great gifts for your kids’ friends’ birthdays, too!

 

14 – Gamer Throw Pillows

These Nintendo Switch throw pillows would make a unique and fun gift for any gamer.
