Teenagers are notoriously hard to shop for, and if you're tasked with trying to find a gift for a teenage girl, you have probably come across this edit in your time of need because it's no mean feat. Trends change so fast when it comes to teens; things they liked six weeks ago are dismissed now.
Whether you're searching for a birthday gift or a Christmas present, or just because she's passed her driving test or having a down day, we've created the ultimate gift guide for teenage girls, so you can make shopping for her that little bit easier.
- Best trendy tech gadget for teen girl: The Apple AirPods Max
- Best fashionable gift for teen girl: You might want to steer clear of clothes, but a cute accessory could make her day. New Look is a firm favourite with teens.
- Best gift voucher for teen girl: You could gift her a gift voucher for her fave store - ASOS is extremely popular! You can write a personalised message and pick a colour you'd like to send. It goes straight into their inbox on whatever the chosen day is.
- Best personalised gift for teen girl: Ideas include jewellery (opt for Astrid & Miyu, Abbott Lyon or Luna Charles), or even shop for a subscription box tailored to their interests. The Beauty Pie Subscription is a great gift for teens wanting to experiment with beauty and skincare.
- Best home decor gift for teen girl: The neon sign we've chosen below is very cool (and there are more options in our roundup of the best neon signs), but you could also opt for a fun Yankee Candle.
- Best perfume for a teen girl: How about the Sol de Janeiro Beija Flor Jet Set or Glossier YOU - both popular choices with young girls.

How we chose the best gifts for teen girls
- Price point: There are no lavish designer bags in this edit! While some prices might be a little high (for example the advent calendar isn't cheap) the majority of this gift edit is relatively affordable.
- Asking friend's daughters: Full transparency, I'm 40 years old. But thankfully some of my friends have teenage daughters so I consulted with them over Instagram DM (they don't do phone calls!) and checked in for some ideas,.
- Gifting worthy: Sometimes you want a gift to just arrive speedily so you can wrap it up and make it all pretty, but there are some that you might want to send direct to the teen. We've included a mix of the two.
