The Best Gifts For Teen Girls
1. For the Teen Obsessed with TikTok: ShiftCam SnapGrip

This device is all the rage among content creators because it function as a portable battery, selfie stick, and tripod stand. Plus, it snaps right onto a smartphone for instant access without the need fumbling around with clamps. There’s a button on the side to quickly snap a selfie while having a better grip on the phone. It also fits into a small travel pouch, so she can use it to capture great TikTok content anywhere.

Brought to you by the brand that’s known for simple, yet high-quality pieces, these 3/8-inch chunky hoop earrings by Madewell are a best-seller. The brash finish resists tarnishing, so they will keep their shine. Because of this, and their classic design, they’re sure to last her for years.

Of all the power banks out there (and trust us, we compared many), Anker is the best. More than 80,000 Amazon reviewers find this portable charger affordable, durable, and thin enough to fit into the tiniest of bags—without weighing your teen down. It can charge any device with an USB-C cord and even has a trickle-charge function to efficiently charge devices. One charge can power up an iPhone 12 twice, so it’s perfect for a concert or long shopping day where outlets may not be readily available.

This lighted vanity mirror was practically made for GRWM (get ready with me) makeup tutorials. Its LED lighting adjusts in brightness from normal to high-definition with the touch screen sensor. The mirror measures a whopping 8.5 by 6.5 inches so she can even use it with her besties. Plus, it swivels 180 degrees to give her the best angle without needing to hunch over. She can power it up at home with the USB plug or use four AA batteries while traveling.

Just imagine your teen cuddled up in this blanket on a chilly Sunday morning. With its oversized hood and sleeves, it feels like wearing a baby blanket—that’s the size of a men’s 5XL sweatshirt and made of clouds. More than 13,000 reviewers agree that it’s great to nap, lounge, and even walk in, because the marsupial-style pocket is the perfect place to tuck away a remote or her phone. There’s 30 different colors and patterns to choose from to best suit her cozy style.

These artistic press-on nails are an affordable way for your teen to get the look of salon-quality nail art at home without the high salon price.

7. For the Influencer in the Making: Sensyne Ring Light

Ring lights give some extra oomph when it comes to taking photos and videos, and this 10-inch light featuring a phone clamp and tripod is a great buy for an up-and-coming YouTuber or TikToker. The touch panel allows her to swap between three color modes (cool white, warm yellow and daylight) and 10 brightness levels. The pocket-sized Bluetooth remote shoots from a distance up to 30 feet, making it easy to grab Instagramable group shots of all her friends.

It also comes with 40 films to get them started and is available in three colors (white, black, and pink).

These slides are another hot item seen on TikTok. Why? Teen girls love them for their comfort, light weight, and roomy fit for hanging out at home or by the pool.

If your teen is on TikTok, she’s definitely coveting this must-have tumbler, which tends to sell out fast.

The bottle is double-walled and vacuum sealed to keep her drinks cold for up to 11 hours or hot for up to seven. Plus, it is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. The colors are pretty with fun names like chambray and grapefruit, and it comes with a lid and reusable straw (sustainability for the win!).

This oversized inflatable chair is a comfy place to hang for one to two people and can be used for movie nights at home or toted to beaches or outdoor concerts for an extra seat. Rather than pumping it with air, you “scoop” it up for a much more efficient and easy way to inflate and deflate it. It also folds into a small backpack, making it quite portable, and even though it weighs just 2.6 pounds, it supports up to 440 pounds.

This celebrity-favorite blanket (think: Khloé Kardashian and Hailey Bieber) will wrap her up in a cozy hug while watching a good movie or tucking into a good book. Its extra soft fabric won’t shrink, pill, or wrinkle and literally feels like a cloud. Plus, it washes well on cold in the gentle cycle and can be tumbled dry on low.

True, her smartphone most likely takes really great pictures and video, but teens these days have reverted back to digital cameras. She’d be absolutely ecstatic to have one of her own.

Once she thinks she’s nailed her angles for the perfect shot, she can easily share the photo using Wi-Fi.
