2025 Gift Guide for Teen Boys and Girls

I love curating gifts for teens- it's a fun challenge to find the perfect gift for Mr. All-I-Want-Is-Cash. Listen, I'm all for giving them cash for Christmas, but I can't bring myself to skip gifts all together. Um, that's not fun! I don't have a teenage son yet, but I poll friends and I pay attention. All that to say you'll find some great ideas for your teenage boy. As for the girls, the ideas are endless. I always include beauty (I love that one of my girls is into makeup and the other into skincare), hobby (hello fancy camera), and cozy ($11 fleece pullover? Say less). While there are some "big" gifts on the list, I make sure to include mostly budget-friendly finds and be sure to check the notes for a lower cost version of a few items. Ok enough chatting, here's the 2025 Teen gift guides full of Christmas gift ideas for teen boys and teen girls, with notes.

Gift Ideas for Teen Boys

2025 Gift Guide for Teen Boys

Meta Quest 3 512GB // Under Armour Unisex Sheisty Mask // BedShelfie Bedside Shelf // Beats Solo Buds - Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds // Beats Pill - Portable Bluetooth Speaker // Jersey Number Necklace for Athletes // Black Ugg Tasman // 3 in 1 Charging Station // 12 in 1 Survival Kit // Owala FreeSip Sway Stainless Water Bottle // Multicolor Smart Bulbs // HEYDUDE Men’s Wally Stretch Sox Slip-On Loafer // Indoor Basketball Hoop // NBA 2K26 - PlayStation 5 Game // Men's Jogger Pants


NOTES


Maybe because I like fashion, but I'm always paying attention when I'm at my kids' school and I'm seeing a lot of Ugg slip ons.

A bed shelf because #bedrot IYKYK (and you know what- sometimes they deserve it). 

An oculus as the big gift is a W. (check out this version for less)

I kind of want to put the pill speaker on the gift guide for her- it's SO good looking! But here's a low cost option that looks great (love the color)!

There are never enough chargers or water bottles (WHERE DO THEY ALL GO TO DIE?) so we basically gift one for every holiday. 

The joggers are so affordable and look more like lounge pants than actual pants to me (?) but I love the shape and the color options. We have a pair on the way...

When I asked Dax what he'd want if he was a teenager he named 3 things- a Sheisty mask, a dirt bike, and a survival kit with knives. LOL. The masks are trending and it seems benign but do your research. ha. 

When I asked for the girls' input, they said boys can't shut up about 2K- apparently the newest version is a must-have. They also called out Hey Dude Slip Ons. 

I'll never get over the color changing smart bulbs Genevieve had in her room- so fun! If he has an echo, they can be voice activated.

NOTES

Alo is the new lulu. They have super cute shorts too!

Genevieve just got this camera (an older version) and I can't believe the quality and how fun using a non-iPhone camera is. I love seeing life through her eyes and it takes MUCH better photos at night than a phone or even my DSLR. Tbh, I want one for myself.

Nadia loves the Daise brand- especially the foaming body wash, and I love finding an item at Ulta that's under $10. ha.

One of my fave beauty bloggers mentioned how teens are loving Rhode lately. Soon after, I glanced at my daughter's wish list and lo and behold, this was on it. 

Genevieve got this bag for Christmas last year and it's the perfect oversized bag for an overnight or toting sports uniforms. I have this less expensive version- not as big but super cute and comes in lots of colors!

I love that Genevieve loves puzzles and the idea of doing this one with her in that hazy week in-between Christmas and New Year's warms my heart. So yeah, maybe it's a gift for me. ha.

An oversized AE sweatshirt is always a safe bet (and this one is 25% off right now!)

A full length LED mirror seems so fun! I always include a mirror and they're always a hit. This one comes in various sizes and is a great price!
