Teenagers are scary. They speak their own language, make funny jokes, and somehow always have seen the TikToks you sent them. It can be hard to keep up with the coolest kids around, and that’s especially true when it comes to holiday gift giving. Over the past few years, we’ve informally reviewed some of those horrible supercool young people in our lives to find out what gifts they really want. These gift ideas aren’t one-size-fits-all, but they may help you get inspired and reach the ultimate goal: giving a gift that the teenager in your life will really want.
Be sure to check out our many other gift guides, including the Best Viral TikTok Gadgets, 25 Amazing Gifts Under $25, and Gifts for Coffee Lovers.
Updated September 2024: We’ve added a phone mount and a hoodie, and we’ve replaced the previous picks with their newer versions. We also checked the links and pricing.
