Holiday Gift Guide for Teens

Sharing my holiday gift guide for tweens and teen girls.

Hi friends! How are you? I hope your week is off to an amazing start! P had a hard time waking up for school today, but I reminded her that it’s a short week that ends with parties and pie, and she was ok with that. 😉

Gift guides are also in full force and I LOVE putting these together each year.

Here are this year’s gift guides so far:

For Her

For Him

*I’ll have the kids’ gift guide up before Thanksgiving so you’re ready to go.

I’ve also rounded up a landing page with all of my favorite health and wellness black friday deals, in addition to my LTK page and my Amazon storefront HERE — everything is in one spot for you!

I wanted to start the kids’ gift guide for teens because it’s so much fun shopping for them! The reality is that they’ll often tell you exactly what they want – Giftful is a good idea for this! – but I wanted to share some extra ideas if you’re looking for inspo.

When we buy for the kids, we try not to go too bananas and just stick to the following categories: something they want, something they need, something to wear, and something to read.

Here are some ideas that fit within these categories and including some of the must-have items for this year.
