First up for the holiday gift guides, is a guide for teen girls. This is always my favorite since I have a 12 year old and 14 year old at home and I have already started shopping for them. I tried to find unique and practical items that teens would love and hope you find something that works for the people on your list this year.
Unsolved Case Files Game. My daughter and her friends listen to true crime podcasts and scary story podcasts so I thought this game would be really fun for sleepovers. You get a cold case file and have to try and uncover the clues to solve the crime. Choose from several different case files.
PMD Clean Brush. According to my daughter, lots of teens are very concerned about skincare these days. This PMD brush is great for cleansing and for massaging in serums and other products.
Fjallraven Kanken Mini Backpack. These bags and backpacks are still popular and come in so many colors and styles. I love these little mini backpacks instead of a purse for girls to have the necessities and still be hands free.
Happy Slippers. These are so cute and come in several colors. These would be cute to get matching pairs for everyone to wear Christmas morning.
Laneige Dream Team. I love Laneige sleeping masks – they are super moisturizing balms to put on at night that aren’t sticky or thick. This set comes with a nighttime mask in Peach Iced Tea flavor and a balm to wear during the day. A perfect $20 gift for gift exchanges or baby sitters/tutors etc.. as everyone will love this.
Spalding Rainbow Basketball. I picked this up for my younger daughter- I absolutely love the bright and happy colors of this ball. It is an exclusive style for Urban Outfitters.
Floor Pillow. These chaise lounge floor pillows are super handy. They roll up like a sleeping bag and unroll into a nap mat. The covers come off to easily wash and these are super handy for lounging and hanging out. I love this faux fur for winter but there are several styles to choose from.
Colsie Robe.We just got this cute robe for my daughter’s best friend and it is so soft and cozy.
Converse High Tops. Every single girl at my daughter’s school is wearing these most days, in fact several girls wore them to homecoming. I personally prefer low top Chuck Taylor’s but the high tops are where its at.
Pura Vida Rings. I recently checked out the rings from Pura Vida and was surprised at how many cute ones they have these days. I love these stacking rings, the wave rings and the band of stars. So many pretty options.
Polaroid Original. The Instax camera is always on gift guides but I think a lot of older kids prefer the retro Polaroid with larger photos.
Smiley Face Phone Case. This is actually a gift I bought for myself but both of my girls loved this case and wanted one of their own.
Benefit Mascara. Normally I might suggest nail polishes, an eye shadow palette or lip glosses but my daughter was recently getting ready for Homecoming with friends and the product they were most excited about was the Benefit Bad Gal Bang mascara. I have used this myself for awhile and it really is amazing mascara.
Flamingo PJ Pants. These are really cute soft, flannel pj bottoms with winter flamingos. Perfect paired with a simple tank for lounging and bedtime.
Neon Sign. ok so we have all seen the twinkle lights, the LED lights etc.. every teenager seems to have in their room. This is something different and something a lot of kids would love. These custom signs come in a bunch of different colors, sayings and would be so fun in a bedroom or bathroom. A few of my favorites:
Floral Diffuser. These come in pink or blue and are so pretty on a nightstand or in a bathroom. This is a great item to give along with a gift card or for teens to give their friends.
Stay tuned for more gift guides to come this week!
