If you’re trying to shop for a teenage girl and feeling totally lost, we don’t blame you one bit. They’re a bit of a mystery and extremely hard to impress and also just so happen to be at the age where they feel invincible. Luckily! Having once been adolescents ourselves, we’re basically experts regarding the youth—or at least when it comes to what kind of presents they’d be into. The most successful gifts for teen girls tend to be cute, on-trend, and cool (like, ahem, worthy of going viral on TikTok). And if you're like, sure, but have no clue where to start, check out our round-up of the 69 best gift ideas for teenage girls on the market below.

Maybe the young person in your life is a music lover who'd flip for an old-school record player, or maybe they’re the type who would love a beauty gift (like a new eyeshadow palette or makeup brushes). Whatever their interests are, we've got something they’ll be completely obsessed with. From a seventh-grade girl who's just entered her teen years to a 19-year-old college freshman who's about to leave hers, these are the best gifts for teen girls of all ages and phases.
