What to give a teenager for her birthday: 7 Gift ideas that she'll actually love

When you grow up, it gets harder and harder to understand teenage girls, their musical taste, their makeup styles, their clothing styles, everything seems so foreign, so sometimes getting them a gift it’s tricky. You want a gift that they’ll love and that suits her tastes. 

Today, we curated a list of 7 gifts you can give the teenager in your life that she will love and appreciate. This list has gifts that work as Sweet 16 gifts, High School Graduation gifts, birthday gifts, and any occasion. Also, we included some items that won’t break the bank to some that will.

Mini Fridge

This mini fridge has several uses; some girls use it for their skin care products as this new generation seems to love all about skincare -we love that-; and some girls use it to stash their snacks and sodas. Either way, we found this is a fantastic gift that most teenagers will adore, but it is a bit pricey ranging from $40 to $180. 

There are several options out there. We loved the Cooluli Beauty Mini Skincare Fridge. However, if you’re looking for something a little more simple and not necessarily for skincare, then you can go with the Frigidaire 4-liter mini fridge. 

Charging Hub

We love utilitarian gifts, and this is one of those. This charging hub allows you to charge your phone, smartwatch, and AirPods at the same time. Its colors and look make it perfect for a teenage girl, as it won’t look out of place.

Hair Dryer and Volumizer

This hair dryer has been all the rage for the past two years, teenagers and women alike love it. There are several options in the market right now. You can go with the expensive one, which is really expensive, $500 to be exact, or you can go with the updated Revlon hair dryer.

Customized Name and Birthstone Jewelry 

Jewelry is a girl's best friend no matter the age, and if it’s unique and personal, then even more. 

Customized jewelry is always a beautiful gift, and this simple yet chic necklace is the perfect everyday jewelry for any teenager; it is an especially lovely birthday gift. You can customize the disc pendant with the birthday girl’s initials and her birthstone. Here, in Reflection of Memories, we can make the gift even more special by customizing the necklace card with her name and a personalized message.

Astrology, Crystals, and more.

If the recipient of the gifts is into all these topics, then you should definitely gift her one or all of these items. 

The first item is  An Introduction to Crystal Healing by Cassandra Eason. It’s the perfect starting point for anyone who wants to learn more about this world. This book will guide them to “add a powerful source of energy to your daily routines.”

The second item is the Beginner Crystals Set. We love everything about this set. The packaging is beautiful and includes five different crystals, Red Jasper to cleanse energy and help you take on new pursuits, and a Beeswax Candle.

The third item is a Zodiac Sign Necklace. This necklace is the perfect everyday piece for the astrology believer and what makes this necklace personal and thoughtful is that you can customize it by adding an initial letter pendant. 

Glossier Gift Card

We know this is the brand most teenagers love, so why not give them a gift card and let them choose their makeup and skincare? Glossier is a brand that targets young women with its minimalist packaging and a new approach to beauty and skincare. It's the perfect gift for any teenager that wants to start their makeup and skincare collection.
