Finding the best Christmas gifts for teen girls is no easy feat. They're still figuring out their own taste, and you want to keep up and support their interests as they change seemingly from week to week. What even is cool? It's so hard to know.

In our view, the best kind of gift is driven by what kind of teenager you're shopping for. Is she looking for travel gifts or tech gifts? Is she a budding influencer? Frame her TV, mirror, or window with LED light strips and create the perfect background for her TikToks. Give the beauty queen in your life the gift of acrylic quality nails at press-on prices. You won’t have to break the bank shopping for your teenager, either. Plenty of our picks are under $50 and will still put a smile on her face. We won’t blame you if you want to spoil her, though. She deserves it.

House Beautiful consulted the teens in our life, from younger sisters to cousins and nieces, to hear what's on their wish list. We also did some extra scrolling to see what the tastemaking girlies online are into. And just for a little extra expertise, we added a few of Oprah’s Favorite Things, because who wouldn’t want gifting advice from the ultimate trendsetter? The results of our sleuthing are below to guide your shopping journey.
