Megan CurtinSo you have a teenage girl on your shopping list this year and you have no idea what to get them. Whatever you decided to get them is going to be met with some type of smart ass remark or an overly fake “Thank you so much, this is just what I wanted”. If you are expecting any other reaction it’s just not going to happen.
Hard to believe but I was a teen once and I understand now why my mom would buy gifts and put my aunt’s names on them. You are pretty much doomed no matter what you pick out. A teenage girl lives in her own world and she expects you to know what is popular at the moment and what lit AF Christmas gift you should have already wrapped.
Let me help you be the cool mom, aunt, grandma, friend, cousin or whatever affiliation you are to that special teenage girl in your life by suggesting this seasons hottest trending gift. No need for a gift receipt with these fire teenage girl Christmas gifts.

Selfie Light For IphoneÂ
If a teenage girl doesn’t have a good selfie game her Instagram page is doomed. Having a seflie game on point can help retain more followers, more likes and thus more gratification to your tween. Tweens aren’t going to have someone always just hanging around to take photos when she has finally mastered the Kardashian contour. This is where having good selfie skills is going to come in handy.
A good selfie is composed of a few simple things including angle, lighting and a clear phone camera. The most important of the three here is going to be lighting. Bad lighting can completely ruin a selfie. Photo editing apps can only do so much for the lighting and the saturation of photos, so it’s easier to work with clear, bright light from the start.
This is the selfie light I own and it’s the shit. The best feature of this selfie light is the rechargeable option via a USB cord, three adjustable light bright settings, and it’s universal with almost all I-phone, galaxy phone, and windows phones. Selfie light is lightweigh which means taking a selfie is easy and effortless.Â

Contrary to my last suggestion of using your camera phone, I am now suggesting to ditch that camera altogether. Think outside of the handheld electric device and think old school click device instead. Give your teen the gift every teen has been asking since the beginning of time, a Polaroid camera.
Polaroids cameras have evolved quite a bit over the last couple of years. You can purchase different sized cameras that produce different size prints. Another new feature is opting to buy just the camera itself or you can buy one in a bundle pack.
Save some time and get a bundle like this one! It saves you money overall and your tween will love having everything together to start using the camera right away.
This Polaroid Camera Bundle Comes with:
- 40 polaroid sheets
- Accessory bundle
- Carrying case
- Color filters
- 2 photo albums
- Photo frames
- Selfie lens
- Batteries
- Choose from 5 different colors
Limited Edition Ariana Grande Wireless Cat Ear Headphones
If I wasn’t in my mid 20’s I might consider purchasing these headphones. Okay, you got me. I have already punched in the two-day ship button!
Cat ear headphones are made by Brookstone and endorsed by Ariana Grande. Cat ears themselves are blue tooth speakers and are also microphone enhanced so your tween can take your phone call. Translated, your tween can hear your voicemail you leave when they don’t answer your phone call.
Your tween can sit in that 5-hour car ride to the grandparent’s house without worrying about having to recharge. Battery life on these cat ears last the full 5 hours and can be recharged via USB cable.

Glitter Face Mask – Unicorn, Galaxy, Cupcake
It’s never to early to start teaching good skin care habits. My mom taught me at a young age and I am forever grateful she did! The key to having good skin later in life is directly linked to how you treat it when you are younger in life.
Everyone loves getting gifts in packs. This glitter face mask set comes with three different face masks that are each filled with rich nutrients and vitamins. Â Masks are meant to be left on 15-20 min and then peel off. DO NOT leave on for longer or your teen can cause damage to your skin from pulling it off.
If your tween has sensitive skin this face mask should still be okay. Masks are paraben free, hypoallergenic, free of dyes and fillers. In other words, it’s made for all skin types.
Honestly, who wouldn’t want a glitter facial?

Teenage girls are identical to mermaids because they both:
- Believe in magic
- Play in the waves
- Sea life’s beauty
- Dive deep to find their soul
- Ride the tides of life
- Know there are treasures in the deep
We all have our favorite coffee mug we reach for in the morning. Nothings better than living in a house full of people and having a mug all of your own! When your tween reaches for her mermaid mug to drink hot chocolate out of she will forever be reminded of you, the kick-ass person who got her that mug.
Mermaid mug is ceramic and is available in purple, pink and teal. Since teens would rather do anything but dishes you’ll be happy to know the mug is dishwasher and microwave safe.
[su_divider divider_color=”#aee2d5″ size=”9″]Pineapple Water BottleÂ
Be a pineapple: Stand Tall, wear a crown and be sweet on the inside. One of the cutest quotes you will find printed on this water bottle along with a pineapple picture on the other side!
The pineapple water bottle is stainless steel and can hold up to 20 oz of liquid. Top of the water bottle has a wide enough opening to put ice in. Can keep cold drinks cold up to 24 hours and hot drinks warm up to 12 hours. Great idea for a girls lunch box for school.

Sandwich MakerÂ
This sandwich maker is a gift that keeps on giving. Teenage girls are constantly on the run between school, extra circular activities and hanging out with friends. Having this sandwich maker will help your tween switch up their meals fromPB&J to a warm sandwich, yay! Yeah, I went with the rhyme, you smiled I saw it.
Made by Hamilton Beach this sandwich maker is made in gray, red, black and silver. Works great for breakfast sandwiches in the morning and anything else your teen could possibly want in-between to pieces of carbs for sandwiches throughout the day. Fill each layer up one by one and the entire sandwich will be made in one go.
If you need inspiration I suggest getting this sandwich maker recipe book.Â

Ah yes, the days of wearing makeup are beginning for your tween girl. Like it or not she is going to get into makeup and she is going to wear it.
Help her not look like a clown by giving her a proper makeup brush set. Starting teenage girls off from the beginning with proper tools will help her establish a routine and will help her skin in the long run. Breakouts are already a problem for tweens, don’t enable more breakouts by making her use her fingers or cheap brushes to apply makeup.
This teenage makeup brush set has soft nylon bristles.  These makeup bristles are non-shedding and odor free, which is another bonus for the skin.Â
This makeup brush set comes with 11 pieces.Â
If you think a makeup brush set is too much too soon, I suggest at least giving her a foundation brush. A good foundation brush is one of the most important brushes a girl can own.
[su_divider divider_color=”#aee2d5″ size=”9″]Bluetooth Shower SpeakerÂ
You will be hard pressed to find a girl with headphones not attached to her ear. Music gives her life and is the soundtrack to her youth!
Give her a gift she can use every day and she will think of you everytime she turns her shower speaker on! With a Bluetooth speaker, she can listen to her favorite tunes, podcast or book on tape while she washes her hair.
This Bluetooth shower speaker is available in the following colors:
- Blue
- Black
- Green
- White
I have this Bluetooth speaker and it comes with a cool light effect. This specific shower speaker gives you the option to switch music, control volume, answer phone calls, and switch modes. Â The suction cup on this is a little goofy so I suggest telling her to put in one spot and don’t move it until she needs to charge it. Would work best being placed on a shelf in the shower or on a shower caddy that hangs from the shower head itself.
Obviously, this shower speaker is waterproof.
[su_divider divider_color=”#aee2d5″ size=”9″]Nail Polish Ring HolderÂ
This is one of the coolest inventions of the century. A bold statement and I’m sticking by it.
Go ahead and get two of these bad boys so you can keep one for yourself. If you haven’t heard of this yet I’m about to change your whole life.
A nail polish ring holder is essentially what it sounds like. Made out of silicone, the ring holder is a one size fits all device that holds a nail polish bottle in place. This nail polish holder works with any brand of nail polish and helps prevent polish spills, drips and eliminates you having to paint your nails by a flat surface.Â
The name of this nail polish ring holder is tweexy and it comes in over 17 colors!Â
[su_divider divider_color=”#aee2d5″ size=”9″]Unicorn OnesieÂ
Are you seeing a theme here yet? If you learn anything from my post it should be that anything unicorn will be a hit with the teenage girl in your life.
Teenage girls love being comfortable and there is no better way to be comfortable than in a onesie! With this link, you can find multiple different unicorn onesie colors and patterns. You have the option of getting a zip up or a button up onesies.
Unicorn onesie is available in the following sizes:
- S
- M
