gift guide 2023 - she's a teenager but she's cooler than you

the much requested teen girl gift guide.

thankfully, the older they get the lists they give become more efficient and less lengthy. my own cool teen’s list basically goes like this-

airpods max (silver), clothes (any), makeup (eyeshadow palette, contour), sanrio stuff and various kpop albums. chances are your teen isn’t too far off of this basic list. but if you’re still at a loss after this at the end of the day you can’t go wrong with a sephora gift card.

  1. caliray surfproof setting spray- i have this and it’s fantastic. if she wears make up she needs a setting spray. and if she’s never used one her whole world will change.

  2. shhhh! this is the eyeshadow palette i am getting for my blue-green eyed girl.

  3. a silk pillowcase, a sleep inducing pillow spray and a blowdry brush would be a triple banger. (get the small sized one only if she has hair chin length or shorter. for all the rest go big or go home.)

  4. these little miniature book nooks are adorably perfect. i know fiona would love it.

  5. summer fridays lip butter is the best imo and….

  6. westman atelier contour is the best imo.

  7. these little style guides would make a great gift for the fashion obsessed.

  8. this bust lamp comes in a color changing option.

  9. these floral vine lace tights are super fun.

  10. a sewing machine so she can learn a skill already. i’m sure there are loads of sweet little old ladies in the area who would be thrilled to teach her.

  11. and of course airpods max 🙄 because she thinks money grows on trees. (actually 3 months in college has taught fiona quite a lot about the value of a dollar.) but hey, if i could i would.

  12. fleece lined tights to keep her legs warm in miniskirts.

  13. this instant photo printer to print out all 50,000 photos of hyunjin from stray kids on her phone. or her friends.

  14. these boujie mechanical pencils and scented erasers from astier de villatte are perfect for the romantic little lady.

  15. love the idea of a personal safety alarm. bonus for being cute and she can clip it to her purse or belt loop or even a necklace.

  16. a disco light that attaches to her phone and lights up with music. great stocking stuffer.

  17. the summer i turned pretty is vvvv popular among the tweens and teens. the movie was trash but the books are great. (she probably loved the movie though.)

  18. cool kicks for a cool chick.

  19. artsy girls will be thrilled with this screen printing set.
