12 Christmas Gift Ideas for Teenage Girls

Last week I shared a post about gift suggestions for teenage boys.

Today I am sharing gift suggestions for teenage girls, who I find easier to buy for but probably only because I was one at one time (many, many years ago).

Buying for teens in general, though, can be a serious challenge so these are only a few ideas to get you started. I hope I can offer some ideas for the “girly girls” and the less girly girls, of which I was one of growing up.

Some links in this article may be affiliate links. This does not affect the cost to you, but may provide a very small commission to my family for items purchased.

  1. DIY Wall Collage Picture Arts and Crafts Kit 

This could work for preteens, teens, and even college students. This kit includes 154 cutouts, 66 letter cutouts, 769 stickers, 41 quote stickers, 10 markers, paint-safe double-sided sticky tape, and 6 yards of string. It is 5.5 by 3.5 feet to be placed on the wall of a room.

All she needs to do is add some personal photos or clippings!

2.      Personalized bracelets or necklaces

 Gifts like a personalized necklace or bracelet are always sweet because you can either give it to your teen or she can give it to a friend. With it being personalized, these can become a keepsake for years to come. Prices for items like these can range from as low as $13 to into the hundreds. Which one you buy simply depends on what your budget is.

3. Oversized Blanket Hoodie Sweatshirt, Wearable Sherpa Lounging Pullover

 

|| CATALONIA OVERSIZED BLANKET HOODIE ||

Having an oversized sweatshirt, shirt, or in this case, hoodie, is something many girls would love to have during the winter months or any time they are feeling chilly. It’s a chance to cozy up and watch a movie or read a book while being able to keep warm and have your hands free.

  

4.      Sleep Headphones Bluetooth, Sleeping Headphones Headband

I have never used anything like this and aren’t sure how they work but they might at least be nice for a teenager who likes to have white noise on at night to help them sleep and relax.

 || BLUETOOTH HEADBAND ||

 

5.      Crave Snack Box

 

I suggested this idea for teenage boys last week, but teenage girls also love to have snacks available when they are interested in a quick snack.

No, these snacks are not all super healthy but there is a healthier option if you want to look into that too. Other companies sell other boxes of snacks, some of them organic or vegan, or even all meat.  

|| CRAVE SNACK BOX ||

Healthier option:

6. KODAK Printomatic Digital Instant Print Camera

 

This would be a great idea for a teenager who wants to snap photos of their friends and family and add them to their journal, scrapbook, or wall collage like the one above.

 ||KODAK DIGITAL CAMERA ||

Kodak is a giant in the photography world — even though they don’t make much film anymore — so they are a great choice to buy a photography tool from.

This camera produces full-color prints on sticky-backed photo paper.

 

7. Shower Bluetooth Speaker

 

|| SHOWER BLUETOOTH SPEAKER ||

This speaker can be stuck inside the shower and is waterproof, so it won’t zap anyone while they are showering. It comes in a variety of colors and is perfect for listening to some music or a podcast while showering away. Please check the directions to make sure it is used correctly and if you don’t want your teen to spend too long in the shower then I suggest skipping this one. *wink*

 

8. Funny T-shirt

T-shirts with funny sayings are always a winner, though sometimes they are only funny for the parents, so try to find ones that your teenager actually finds funny. As we all know, each generation has a different sense of humor, so what might be funny to mom and dad might not be funny to your teenager.

|| NOPE. NOT TODAY. || || SHORT GIRLS || || NOT TODAY, SATAN ||  

8. Phone Camera Lens Kit, 14 in-1 Lenses with Selfie Light for iPhone

 This is a great item for the teenage girl who loves photography or simply loves to grab selfies with different angles and lenses.

 

|| PHONE CAMERA LENSES || 

The lenses are for an iPhone14, 13, 12, 11Xs, X Pro Samsung and Other Android Smartphones.

 

 

9. Cooluli Mini Fridge for Bedroom

 

This mini fridge can be used for food, drinks, makeup, or the storage of medicine.

 || MINI FRIDGE ||

My teenage son has been asking me for one of these but I will be honest — I don’t want to get him one because I am afraid I’d never see him. Of course, he would have to come down to get the soda he’d take back up for the fridge so I’ll consider it.

 It also comes in several different colors.

 10. Kindle Scribe

If you want to go pretty high up in the budget, a Kindle Scribe might be a good idea.

|| KINDLE SCRIBE ||

This is a Kindle which your teen can write or draw on. She can make notes while she reads or make notes with a digital pen and have it transformed into text.

This is, as Amazon’s site says, “A digital notebook you can write on. Journal, sketch, take notes, and more.”

Honestly, it is something I would look into for myself someday. I’ll keep you updated if I get one.

11. Hanging Cosmetic/Toiletry Bag

 

This cosmetic bag is waterproof, can be hung up, and is portable for traveling as well.

 

|| COSMETIC BAG ||

The pouches can be used a variety of ways, not only for makeup, of course. There are also a variety of colors and styles for the bag.

12. One-Step Volumizer Enhanced 1.0 Hair Dryer and Hot Air Brush

 This dryer and hot air brush is an amazing way to spruce up any young woman’s hair.

|| BRUSH AND BLOW DRYER || 

This is a two-in-one tool that will dry and style at the same time. It is also easily portable.

Bonus item:

Prayer Journal for Teen Girls: 52-week Scripture, Devotional, & Guided Prayer Journal

If the teen you are buying for is someone who likes to read her Bible and keep track of her prayers, this gift would be perfect.

According to the description: This 52-week devotional and guided prayer journal includes Scripture verses, reflections on the Word, and journaling prompts that will help teen girls feel more confident navigating life’s challenges and remember that God is with them every step.

|| PRAYER JOURNAL ||


I hope this list gives you some gift ideas for the teen girls in your life. If you need more gift ideas, you can visit my storefront HERE.

Eight cozy gifts for the reader in your life

When I have an extended amount of time to read, there are a few things I like to have in hand before and while I settle down with my book of choice.

For example, I love to have a warm blanket, a cup of tea, and maybe some classical or jazz music playing softly in the background or through my earbuds.

Every reader is different so the reader in your life may have different preferences but here are eight cozy and comfy gift ideas for the reader in your life.

Clicking the link does not mean that you will pay more for the item, only that I make a tiny commission if you make a purchase. Thank you so much! I really appreciate when you support my family..**

  1. Tea mugs or cups with covers

I love to sip tea while I am reading a book, but I really love to not have to keep getting up to warm up my tea. That’s when something like this item would come in handy:

It is so cute, for one, plus that convenient lid. Love the idea! There are tons of items like this for sale right now on Amazon.

You can also find covers like these to add to a mug you already have:

If you don’t need or want a cover for your tea or cocoa, then this is a cute idea:

2. A cozy blanket or quilt

Another wonderful idea to go with that mug of tea, cocoa, or coffee is a beautiful, cozy blanket.

Oh my goodness. This blanket looks perfect to cuddle up under to read a good book and can go right in your gift basket for your reader.

|| Cozy Bliss Beige Checkered Throw Blanket Ultra Soft Warm||

Here is another option:

|| Bedsure Sherpa Fleece Throw Blanket for Couch ||

Oh and I love this one and especially the price (at least when I first posted it)

||Inhand Fleece Throw Blanket||

3. Fuzzy, warm socks

To go along with the blanket, you need some fuzzy socks. I would love these to put on on a cold winter night and cuddle in front of the fire in our woodstove with a good book and my tea.

|| 5 Pairs Women’s Wool Socks||

|| Mens Warm Wool Socks ||

Some more socks that I love the look of! (not just saying that for this post. Ha!)

|| Loritta 5 Pairs Womens Wool Socks ||

4. Booklight

A good book light is very important if the lighting where you are isn’t super strong. I have a book light similar to this one here but this one has three settings, a timer, and comes with six magnetic bookmarks. I have some magnetic bookmarks from a different company and I really love them. They stay in place and don’t slip out like other, paper bookmarks.

The book light hooks easily onto the back or front of your book. It is also rechargeable and features a USB port that can be charged in a computer or by plugging into a block that plugs into a wall.

|| 2-Pack Reading Light with 6 Bookmark ||

5. Book-related stickers

Okay, these are not necessarily a need for a good reading session but they are a great gift for the reader in your life for the simple fact they are cute.

I love these stickers. I totally want them and they are perfect for the reader who also likes to journal, keep scrapbooks or stick stickers on various things for fun. This might be perfect for young readers as well.

|| 100 Pcs Book Stickers, Reading Stickers, Bookish ||

I also love these stickers:

|| Bookish stickers ||

6. Highlighters or book tabs

If your reader is a person who likes to mark their favorite passages in their favorite books but don’t want to mark up the pages with highlighters there are these:

|| Transparent Sticky Notes,Clear Waterproof 3 x 3 inch ||

7. Headphones/earbuds

I love to listen to jazz or classical music when I read and having a good pair of headphones or earbuds helps to keep the background noise out so I can just concentrate on reading.

|| JBL Tune Flex – True Wireless Noise Cancelling Earbuds ||

I use this brand myself and love the variety they have.

|| JBL Endurance Race Waterproof True Wireless Active Sport Earbuds ||

And

|| BL1 JBL LIVE 300 – Premium True Wireless Headphone ||

8. Reading Journal

I love a good reading journal. I made one for myself but also love looking at ones pre-made. I haven’t picked one out yet but have a few in my wish list.

Here are a couple I picked:

|| Elegant Reading Journal – Review and Track Your Reading

Progress with 60 Book Reviews ||

Or

|| Book Journal – Reading Journals For Book Lovers ||

Those are some of my ideas for the readers in your family. Keep your eyes peeled (like not literally because … gross) because I plan to do another one of these. I have so many ideas for things I – ahem, I mean, readers would love to have.

Feel free to add the items you like to have when you are reading (besides a good book) in the comments.
