The older you get, the trickier it can be to pick out the best gifts for teens. It’s only natural; eventually, the things that once defined your formative years—be it Tamagotchis, Jordache jeans, or iPhones with actual home buttons—get replaced, leaving you wondering what the kids are actually into these days.
But that doesn’t mean you have to throw in the towel and hand every teen in your life an envelope full of cash. There are plenty of unique presents for everyone on your list out there—yes, even the most difficult to shop for people—you’ll just have to think a little deeper about the recipient.
Whether you’re buying a gift for a teen girl who’s on her way to TikTok virality, something meaningful for your daughter, or a small gift for her boyfriend, you can’t go wrong with an extra-long iPhone charger, a mini fridge, Ugg slippers, Amazon leggings, or basically anything else in this edit. From foolproof tech to cute stocking stuffers, these gift ideas will impress teen boys, teen girls, and those who don’t fall into either category.
Nothing says college application season like a lack of sleep, and these soothing undereye patches will help them feel alive even when they’re in the thick of it.
