Cozy Sock Duo
Barefoot Dreams is one of my all-time favorite brands and their socks are just to die for! Super soft, super cozy, and sure to be a hit with any teen who loves curling up on the couch or in bed for some Netflix’n’Chill.
Ultra Facial Oil-Free Cleanser
You can’t go wrong with a bit of Kiehl’s! Their extensive range of excellent skincare has something for everyone, including an extensive collection for any acne-prone teens.
Meta Quest 3 VR Headset
I know this is a bigger gift than I normally recommend but my 14yo had been saving up for one and finally got it in the summer, and absolutely adores it, and I have to say I’ve been mightily impressed as well. So it’s a tried and tested from here! If you’re looking for a bigger treat, this could be just the ticket for those hard-to-buy for teens.
Ramen bowl
The noodle loving generation are sure to adore their very own fit-for-purpose ramen bowl (complete with lid, spoon and chopsticks!) to keep them warm through the winter season.
Heatless Curlers Headband
The heatless curlers trend continues! So, if they haven’t already got a set, this Kitsch heatless curling set will go down a storm – you can even get a Christmas version!
Custom Cluster Charm Necklace
Loving the return of the charm necklace this year. And also adore Baublebar. So putting them both together, what about one of their gorgeous custom cluster charm pendants to represent everything they love.
3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station
For the committed Apple user, this 3-in-1 charging station is a no-brainer! Simultaneously charge iPhone, AirPods and Apple Watch wirelessly. Genius!
Eat Sleep Game Repeat Lightbox
Fantastic addition to any gaming enthusiast’s room, this Eat Sleep Game Repeat Lightbox is sure to raise a smile. I love Made Happy’s extensive range of fabulous gifts – there really is something for everyone.
Instant Camera
It’s back to old school with this Polaroid-style instant print camera. Perfect for capturing those selfie moments and getting them on the wall.
Oodie Wearable Blanket
My two teen boys live in their Oodies in winter at home. There’s so many designs and colors to choose between the difficulty will be deciding!
Face Hair Skin Make Up Bags
Save your teen from hours of searching for that mascara at the bottom of the bag and give them these on-trend cosmetic case sets to organise their toiletries on the go.
Vlogging Kit
Got a vlogger in the house? This mobile phone stand / light / microphone combo will be right up their street. Joby’s the brand I use and the flexible tripod is endlessly helpful!
Boxer Gifts Phone Escape Room
Not sure if this is more a gift for you than them but it’s sure to keep your teen busy on Christmas morning. Lock their phone inside and see how long it takes to release the shackles! This is certainly a gift with a twist but will be great family entertainment for the right person, or a fabulously fun way to gift a new phone! (Requires a little time to set up but it’s worth it!)
Laundry Punchbag
This one never gets old. Try and persuade the dirty laundry into the basket with a little stress relief encouragement!
Teen Journal
Foster a healthy habit of self-reflection and building self-worth through these pivotal teenage years with the HappyMe Journal, designed especially with teens in mind (there is another version available for 18+ for those older teens).
