We dedicated all our effort towards simplifying the gifting giving experience for you! This way you can give and consequently receive better gifts.
We actually did some formal research for this article and as well as for our articles on similar topics covering teenage boys or gifts for your brother. We did this by using survey inputs of over 50 teenagers and some 20-something-year-olds from each gender in order to create all of these lists.
If you appreciate what we are doing, please share the post with others! Thank you.
So, if actual teenager contributed to the items of this list, [take it for what you will], but it’s most definitely accurately reflects their gift wishlist.

Now, 25 Best Birthday Gift Ideas for Teenage Girls
1. A new phone…or a phone upgrade
This is the main thing that virtually no teenage girl contested wanting. As a matter of fact, they put in the top 5 list in their version of 25 best birthday gift ideas
2. Makeup Kit
3. Lip Stick/Lip Gloss
Yes, believe it or not, that age has approached for the teenage girl to wear lipstick. This shouldn’t actually be a deathly surprising thing. Why? Because most girls start trying out their mother’s lipstick before teenage age.
And it definitely shouldn’t be a surprise that [say] a 13-year-old now wants a lipstick.
It is what they want and some need to climb the elusive but awesome social ladder of middle school/high school.
Unless this is occasion is one of surprise gifting, do consult with the teenager or their parents to ensure a lipstick that they’ll love and actually wear.
4. Hydroflask
“Yeah, lots of girls in my school have a hydro flask and even college girls that I have seen have them. I’ve always wanted one because it looks so awesome and cool” said Isabella, one of our survey respondents.
5. Shoes
Shoes, shoes, shoes. They make for the perfect gift for any girl regardless of age. Shoes are to a girl’s heart as food is to a man’s heart. Regardless of what teenager you have, there’s a shoe that she likes! Just ask her.
Whether it’s formal shoes, sports shoes, casual shoes, fashion shoes, heels, etc…every teenage girl’s heart wants a shoe from one or more of those categories!
And we haven’t touched the fact that it’s one of the few gifts that are actually a human survival necessity…at least in modern society. Or that men and women (regardless of age) have different understanding and innate desires for shoes.
By now it’s pretty clear why it’s not only a great gift but why we featured on our list of top birthday gift ideas for teenage girls!
6. Laptop
This makes for one of the best gifts not only for teenage girls but for all teenagers as it enhances their productivity greatly. We always recommend that you ask your teen what they would “theoretically want as a gift”.
Oh!, and unless told otherwise, stick to lightweight computers. Things like 2-in-1 Laptop and Convertible workbooks fit awesome in this.
7. Skincare Systems
One of the worst things that can happen to a teenager is when they start experiencing acne…or if they continuously struggle with it. They want to keep their faces clean and clear of any unwanted pimples, dots, and they want their pores clear of unwanted material that might clog it.
And some handpicked skincare accessories…
8. Some Nice Hoodies
9. Great Jeans and Leggings
10. LED Room Lights (to hang)
Do you know how many hours per week that the average teenage girl invests in watching “home decoration videos”? We don’t know either but we bet it’s a lot! Imagine the sheer joy you will bring to their heart when you help them realize one of their decoration daydreams.
11. Gaming System
You’d be surprised to find out that some girls log in more hours of video games than their teenage male counterparts. An awesome gift of escape and debateable helps sharpen mental acuity, Gaming Systems as a gift that sets the bar for “gifting awesomeness” and elevates as the best gifter!
12. Concert and Event Ticket
Teenage years, unless by choice, without experiencing a concert, movie, or event is frankly kind miserable because it’s too incredible of an experience to be missed. Hence, tickets to events and movie tickets are a gift of many facets, but more relevantly, they are gifts of necessity and thrill.
Also, there are only so many things you can do that are home-centric. Some great places for fantastic deals on tickets are; TicketMaster, StubHub, eSeat, Ticketfly, Fandango, AtomicTickets, TicketNetwork, and VividSeats
13. Fuzzy Pilow and Blankets
14. Bluetooth Speaker
Sometimes you don’t want to keep the music to yourself and that is a good thing. Give a gift that lets them express that inner “dancer”.
15. Journal
16. Travel Handbags
“A handbag”? WHY? Well, because they’re maturing and changing their perspective in life and so their fashion is growing as well. So give them your teenager a gift to help enhance her fashion, style, and sense of life.
It’s also one of the best gifts to give to a maturing woman. It’s like investing in her transformation from a girl to a woman!
17. Powerbank for Phone
What a lifesaver you would be giving to any teenage girl if you have a power bank for their phone. It allows them to go on for days without worrying about their phone battery levels.
The best thing is that this is a gift that is super essential and keeps giving throughout the day. Why? because most portable power banks can now charge a phone or gadget many times over!

18. Airpods/Bluetooth Headphones
Anyone would go crazy without the awesome escape that is music. This makes for a wonderful gift to give to a teenager because it’s one that has such high value, that you’re likely to be the most memorable gift they’ve received thus far.
19. Laptop Bag with USB Port
20. Fuzzy Bean Bag Chair
These are possibly the best luxury items for relaxation a teenage girl could ever want. Think of something more relaxing that this and tell us.
21. Adopt a pet and give to them!
Now we know that there are loads of people who don’t like the idea of giving pets as a gift, and they do have valid reasons for opposing this.
While we do support these, it should be noted that you can still give a pet as a gift, but you should carefully screen and test many things in the receiver.
Including but not limited to;
- Emotional Competence
- Don’t give pets to psychos who will dissect them!
- Are they emotionally competent to handle the stress and joys involved with owning a pet?
- Responsibility
- Do they or their parents have the financial capabilities to own and care for a pet?
- Can they control the pet? Will the pet be a distraction at this point in their life?
- Can they provide maintenance and health upkeep for the pet?
- Ability to devote time and provide lifelong companionship that will be enjoyable to the pet
- The desire for animal companion (Does this teenager actually want an animal companion? Why? Do they have concrete reasons or for superficial desires?)
- Do their parents or guardians approve?
The only other caution to take is to make sure the receiver is not allergic to the animal that you want to give. If the receiver already has an animal you can check out our article on some gift for pet owners and pet lovers!
Talk it over and make sure the perspective teenager truly knows and comprehends the responsibilities of pet ownership. You can give them a gift certificate or take them to the local pet shelter near you
22. Instant Film Camera
For all the spontaneous moment photography that needs to be printed out later. No, they can’t “just use their cellphone cameras” because instant film photos grow to become special tot he heart of the those in the picture.
23. Cute Fuzzy Socks
What more is to to be said than the aforementioned words?
24. Smart Watch
For a list of “birthday gift for teenage girls”, this really should be higher up in the list, but of course, this isn’t an “order list”.
Fitness Watches/Smart Watches are linked with so many benefits that it’s a no brainer why we think that it’s an awesome gift to gift to any teenage girl whose birthday might at hand and in your mind.
Check out some of the best smartwatches on the market today. Surely, for some they’re expensive but it’s a worthwhile gift and it’s a gift that doesn’t have to be supplemented by any other gifts. Its grandeur speaks for itself!
