It is so much fun watching others open their gifts especially when you are pretty sure you nailed it! So in order to help you pick out just the right gift, I created a lovely Christmas gift guide for teen girls. Obviously, I interviewed my own resident teen, Little Red. But we also chatted with some of her friends to see what is popular. Discover what is trending now for Christmas 2018 with this guide to Christmas gift ideas for teen girls.

Decorations for Their Rooms
There are so many fun options for decorating a teen’s room. And most teens love decorative lights, an inspiring saying or a beautiful decal to beautify their room! Also the light boxes are becoming popular on Instagram so you may see them popping up on wish lists this year!
Gift for Their Animals
Many teen girls love animals. So an accessory for their animal really hits the spot! Look at these too cute options for their best furry friend! Want a customized dog bed that is beautiful and durable?? Check out my sister-in-laws 5 star rated Etsy shop ML Home and Hound.
Shoes Are a Must for Any Holiday List
Shoes were another frequently requested item. Shoes make a wonderful gift as they can be both practical and fun! Add a pop of red to any outfit with these cute converse shoes. Boots are very popular whether it is outdoor rain boots, snow boots or dress boots!
Gifts for the Crafty Girl
We have several girls in our family that love to create and make. So instead of just buying a gift, give them the tools to create their own! Or create a gift basket with common goodies that are used to make bath and body products like these lotion bars or whipped body butter.
Popular Gift Cards for Teen Girls
So the most requested gift cards were Sephora, Bath & Body Works, Dick’s Sporting Goods, JoAnn’s Fabrics, American Eagle and Claire’s! And of course, gas cards and Starbucks gift cards are always popular too!
Hope you found lots of ideas to spark your imagination for your holiday shopping list!

Wow! I think you pretty much nailed this list. I love all the ideas and think many of them would also work for college students and maybe even us moms. Are you planning on posting a teen boy one too?
I thought about it but I’m not sure I’m brave enough…but I do have a little experience at least;)
