Holiday Gift Guide For Teens & Tweens 2022

November 3, 2022

Teens can be tricky because they tend to want to "fit in" but are also finding their individuality. I guarantee this gift guide for teens has the perfect something for any teen, and you might end up grabbing something for you too!

This gift card maze is such a cool idea for teens that just want money. They have to get the metal ball through the maze to unlock the chamber and release the gift card, which sounds so fun to me.

At this age, teens really start to test and value their own independence a bit more, so this journal/planner would make a great gift! There are so many fun prompts throughout to keep it engaging, and the design is so cute and trendy.

Okay, I smelled a fragrance from this brand years ago, and it was gooood. This sandalwood unisex scent has notes of bergamot, juniper berry, and cashmere wood to keep them smelling fresh and cool. Perfect for any gender.

Trend alert: Wide-leg is back. That thick waste band looks so comfy, I may just need to add these to my wish list as well ;)

Anyone else have a teen that isn't thrilled about taking showers at the moment? Getting this shower-proof Bluetooth speaker to entice Greta in.

This soft, knit checkered blanket was on our cozy blanket test! It is such a great dupe to the Barefoot Dreams or SKIMS one and it comes in so many cute colors too!

All they want is oversized everything, trust me. There is nothing softer than an Abercrombie crewneck, and this one can totally be unisex!

This is honestly one of my favorite games ever. I want to get one of these for the rec room! This one includes 12 different game options and folds up easily for convenient storage.

We're in the Lululemon belt bag era. If your teen doesn't have one yet, all their friends have one, and it's probably on their wish list. They'll be wearing it to school, sports practices, hanging out with friends--you name it.

A cute way to showcase all of the polaroids they have lying around. You could even pair it with an Instax camera if they don't already have one.

Greta is our little artist, and she will draw for hours before bed each night. These colored pencils have amazing reviews and come with over 72 colors! Any budding little artist would be thrilled to get this!

12. Clogs $43

Birkenstock Boston clogs are having their MOMENT. They are sold out just about everywhere. I found these incredible dupes on Amazon that look just like them, and I just ordered them to try for myself!

13. Oculus Quest VR $349

VR is fun for the entire family! We always recommend the Oculus to our friends because it's super easy to use and set up, is portable, and has great reviews.

14. Snowmobile Sled $89

We have a couple of sleds and pool floats from this brand! They are such good quality and come in so many fun styles and designs. Now, all we need in North Carolina is a bit of luck and some snow and we're set!

15. Puffer Case $21

You've got to be kidding me with this puffer phone case. This puffer look is so trendy with teens and it's gotta be so fun to squish.

The happiest little slippers to sport around on Christmas morning and every day afterward. Smiley face, everything is the vibe that any teen will love.

My Formula for When to Paint the Ceilings a Color and When Not To

Here's something you don't need me to tell you, but I'm telling you anyway: You get to choose whether you want to paint your ceiling or not! But, still, almost daily, I get asked "Why don't you paint that ceiling the color of the walls?" If you've never tried painting a ceiling and you're considering […]

Thai-Inspired Basil Beef Stir Fry

I'm back at it today with the Asian-inspired flavors. I always seem to lean that way in my recipes, but why would I use less flavor when I can fill my kitchen with the scent of ginger, garlic, and chilies?! Thai Basil Beef is one of my all-time favorite things to order for takeout. What […]
