100+ Gifts for Teenage Girls They Will Actually Want

Hanging Basket Chair
I’m never going to say no to another spot to read. We have one on our back porch that gets used ALL OF THE TIME!

Moon Lamp
This lamp is just plain cool and great for both boys and girls. It has 128 different colors to choose from, timers and dimming options. It would be very soothing to go into your room at night and have this already lit up.

Big Satin Bow Pillows
How fun are these!? These big satin bow pillows are the perfect statement piece for any teen who loves decorating her room. They are girly, glam, and instantly mood-lifting.

Wall Calendar
For that organized and scheduled child in your life, this coloring wall calendar is adorable and gives you tons of opportunity to use their creativity.

Photo Clip String Lights
Part décor, part keepsake display – these string lights come with clips so you can hang photos, artwork, or little mementos. They make any dorm, bedroom, or office feel instantly more warm and personal.

Custom Neon Sign
What’s more fun than having a bright neon sign in your room saying something that is 100% you. Your name, favorite phrase, favorite sports team…the options are endless!

Hiking Boots
We live near the mountains and have been taking more and more hikes as the girls have gotten older. I know they would love to have some sturdy, specialized hiking boots to wear.

Fishing Gear
I love the old proverb about teaching a man to fish. Why not teach this concept to your teen, quite literally! If you live in a place close to water this works out really well, they’ll have fun doing it, and it will instill more patience in the process.

Frisbee Golf Equipment
Anyone looking to pick up this hobby and wants others to play with them would be wise to get a whole pack of frisbees. This set has outstanding reviews!

Metal Detector
For the kid bubbling with adventure and curiosity, a metal detector seems like a no-brainer gift idea.

Skittle Skatter Yard Game
I have seen this game all over Instagram and it looks like a really great time! Put away those devices, grab a few people and the first to 50 points wins!

Bird Feeder
Birding doesn’t just have to be for the old folk! You might be surprised how into watching birds kids can get. Set out a bird feeder and see what backyard birds frequent your yard. You could go simple, or these ones that attach to your window would give you a really close view.

Professional-Grade Sidewalk Chalk
For the sidewalk chalk artist who is ready to up their game, these professional-grade chalks come in a broad range of colors, and are great for blending. Get ready for some elaborate artwork on your sidewalks! 

Steel Drum
Have you ever heard one of these being played? It is quite mesmerizing and a unique musical instrument that not everyone will have. 

SoundBot Shower Speaker
Now you can listen to your favorite podcasts or music while you shower! Or use it outdoors without worrying about rain or snow.

Kalimba
I have never heard of this before and then I watched the video on Amazon and they are actually really cool and can produce some very good music. This would be perfect for any child who is musical and likes unique things.

Synthesizers
These synthesizers have a very electronic sound to them and would make great space, video game and techno music. Plus they are small enough to fit in your pocket!

Drum Pads
All the reviews say these are amazing for both the drummer and the people living with said drummer. Drum pads would be a good place to start if you have an interested percussionist on your hands.

Record Player
I love that record players have made a resurgence and that today’s musicians are still making vinyl albums. This is such a fun gift to pair with a vinyl from their favorite artist.

Hand Bells
A few years ago, we bought a set of Merry Bells  and they have a terrific DVD or digital play-along video with 30 different Christmas songs that have chords – definitely a step up from single note playing! – and come down the screen like Guitar Hero and you play your bell when it hits the line. You can use the code JANSSEN for 10% off them!

KiwiCo Labs
KiwiCo is my FAVORITE option for a STEM subscription box – they really are the crème de la crème. And it’s the perfect gift that keeps on giving! Their KiwiCo Labs boxes are designed for ages 6-16+ with brand new rebuildable STEM projects. (Plus they have additional digital content to extend learning and STEM skills). Use the code EVERYDAYREADING for 50% off your first box.

Chemistry Set
After seeing this set, I really want one just to see what all 28 experiments are! This set includes real chemicals, test tubes, and safety goggles perfect for the budding scientist who is ready to move on from vinegar and baking soda volcanoes.

Microscope
Do you a curious child who loves to dig deeper? If yes, this microscope would be eye-opening!

3D Printer
I have never heard anyone who owns a 3D printer say they have regretted the purchase. Let your child’s imagination run wild and create all sorts of cool things!

Rock Tumbler
For the kid who always comes home with a pocket full of rocks, this is the best gift! And it’s surprisingly affordable.

Beach Towels
I bought some of these Geometry beach towels last year and I can’t see us using a different kind ever! They dry so quickly and fold down so well, making them incredibly easy to transport. Plus their prints are really cute!

Travel Gear
We have been traveling with the girls since they were young, but now that they are older, they are in charge of their own luggage. I love the idea of a gift of travel gear – luggage, a luggage tag, and packing cubes would be a great starting point. This is a gift that they will continue to use, even after they leave the house.

No Crease Hair Clips
I like to keep my makeup routine very simple and quick (you can read more about that here), but for someone who loves makeup these no crease hair clips keep hair out of the way while applying makeup.

Sol De Janiero Spray
Sol de Janeiro body spray is trending with teens everywhere! It’s fun, flirty, and ideal for a signature scent she’ll love.

Face Masks
My niece has a bunch of these types of face masks and all my girls love them. They’re very similar to the individual face masks, but you can use them several times. This pack has four different types of face masks which makes trying them all out super fun.

Vanity Mirror
Perfect for any teen who loves a little glam, this vanity mirror makes doing makeup, skincare, or just sprucing up her room a total joy.

Screwbacks
My oldest had so much trouble with her ears getting pierced but these screwback earrings finally solved the problem for her! I love these because you can sleep in them, shower in them, and just wear them all the time. Use the code JANSSEN

Initial Bracelet
An initial bracelet is such a sweet, personal gift for teens. It’s simple, stylish, and meaningful. It’s one of those pieces they’ll actually wear every day, whether stacked with other bracelets or on its own.

Hair Accessories
There are so many cute hair accessories available right now. Some of my favorites are barrettes, claws and hair bows.
