But apparently teens are really into it. Best for Computer Lovers Sure, lots of students have access to school computers these days.
Hook them up with a MacBook Air so they can watch TV from the comfort of their own bed and also use it for non-schoolwork-related internet needs you know, like researching new ways to be embarrassed by you. Plus, Macs are known to be long-lasting, so if they take good care of it, it just might last them through college.
Best for the Nutrition Conscious This ingenious blender is both cool-looking and versatile, since your teen can just screw a spout top on the blending vessel and use the handle to take their blended breakfast or after-school snack with them. Best for Active Types This regulation-size and -weight basketball has two LED lights which make the entire ball glow upon impact. For shooting hoops after all the schoolwork is done, this will be a welcome way to blow off steam during the early dark of wintertime.
Plus, it looks cool on social media. So we're thinking, what's cuter than a chubby little glowing potato? Best for Glamour Types We have fielded questions from our niece who is wondering about what kind of false eyelashes would be best on her, to which we say, gosh, like so many things about coming of age, you just have to experiment and see what you like.
This set of no-trim, no-measure natural-looking lashes including a tube of lash glue and tweezer-style tool, is a great start for a teen girl's self-discovery. One teen we asked was partial to this glittery option, but Nordstrom , Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters also carry a ton of different styles to choose from.
Best for the Grooming Resistant This California-based men's personal grooming line has no synthetic detergents or harsh chemicals and comes in a range of naturally-derived scents like spearmint, cedarwood, orange and cypress essential oils. This starter bundle, with its three bar soaps, deodorant, hair care and even a little wooden soap saver, makes showering so pleasant that he'll want to make a regular habit of it. Best for Rainy Day Commuters A lug sole shoe is on-trend this year , and this waterproof iteration makes the trend rain boot practical.
And the pull-on style is easy on-and-off. Best for Room Decorators This is the new, more stylish iteration of the classic bean bag chair, with a plush covering and arm and back rests. It contains at least 65 percent polystyrene beans to shape to fit you, and the polyester cover resists stains.
Hint hint, Mom. If you want to really go above and beyond for the football fan in your life, gift them a subscription to Champ-Chest, which delivers five to ten pieces of team gear every three months. Best for Hippie Chic Girls If you thought the tie-dye trend had run its course, think again. Treating her to this relaxed fit crewneck sweatshirt is sure to win you some brownie points.

Unless you get lucky , you might have a lot of difficulty finding an Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5 in stock, but the Switch Lite is still a great gadget for teen gamers. This console is handheld-only; for an option that can dock to a TV, you'll want to go for the traditional Nintendo Switch.
This comparison can help you decide between the two. Nintendo's eShop has a ton of titles up for grabs, and some of the best games at the moment are only available on the Switch. Instant cameras have made a huge resurgence —there are dozens of options, all teen-approved. The Instax Mini 11 is essentially an upgraded version of the Instax Mini 9 which is another great pick.
The camera is available in a wide range of bright colors, and it features automatic exposure and shutter speed adjustments so users can nail the shot on the first try. The selfie mode is improved too—no more manually attaching a selfie lens like on previous generations—and the camera has a built-in reflective bubble to help achieve the perfect angle.
Teens will also love the option to customize the shutter button with the two included stick-on attachments one looks like a jewel and the other glows in the dark. The refill film is inexpensive and gets even cheaper if you buy in bulk. You can also get neat accessories that coordinate with whichever color you go with. These are the best strip lights. They can be used to add ambient lighting for stellar TikTok videos, but placing them under a desk or behind a TV will also add flair as well as illumination.
These have a wide array of colors, so your teen can set the mood with a rainbow of hues, as well as multiple white shades. The companion app can be used to pick a specific color. There are additional features, like preset scenes, scheduling options, and more.
Added bonus: LED lights are cheaper to run than incandescent bulbs. Check out more of our favorites in this smart bulb buying guide.
As a teenager, I personally shattered more than a dozen cell phone screens 14, to be exact , and that was before the svelte, all-glass smartphones of today. Phones have become sleeker, but teens are still reckless.
We've long loved the PopSocket phone grip , and if you don't use one yourself, you've probably seen them around. These inexpensive gadgets help make smartphones grippier, giving teens a way to prevent expensive and often repetitive screen repairs.
Grips double as a phone stand and triple as a fidget toy. Choose from the hundreds of premade designs or customize your own for a bit of extra cash. Aside from the traditional plastic versions, you can purchase fancier editions with built-in lip balms, multitools, mirrors, and more. Front-facing cameras are usually subpar compared to their rear-facing counterparts, but good lighting can help. Whether they're recording TikTok videos or snapping a selfie, this easy-to-use and inexpensive light will ensure your teen is looking their best, even with the dog face filter.
The light has a tiny footprint, a rechargeable battery, and a few different brightness levels to get the shot just right. For shooting other types of videos, or for basement bedrooms with no windows, this bigger ring light kit is another solid choice. There's a lot of debate about what types of phone cases are best and why, but the general consensus is that they're necessary. I've used a Velvet Caviar case for years—I like it because it's beautiful and sturdy, but it doesn't add a ton of bulk.
There are hundreds of styles, so you should have no trouble finding a good fit for your giftee. Casetify is another tried-and-true company that makes teen-friendly cases, and we've had great luck with Speck too. When hunting for the perfect case for the teen on your list, keep a streamlined footprint and designs worthy of a mirror selfie in mind. An iPad is seemingly superfluous—until teens start using it to watch content, do homework, or hop on Zoom meetings.
They're actually quite handy to have around. It offers a lot of flexibility for different interests like drawing or reading. There are other good, less expensive tablets out there too, if an iPad is outside your ideal budget.
Check our guides to the Best iPad and the Best Tablets for additional picks. This is our favorite cheap laptop. The nice display and sleek footprint belie its palatable price point, and the internal specs and battery life are good too. It can be converted into a tablet for watching movies or streaming whatever's popular on Twitch these days.
This computer can handle homework, streaming, and late-night rounds of college applications. Your teen won't look like a dork when they pull this laptop out in front of their friends, and you won't be breaking the bank on the device.
If your kid is constantly bellowing in the basement to their Discord pals about boss raids and teamfights, a good headset can help calm things down.
This is a pick from our best gaming headsets. It may not be able to take them back in time or help them be in two places at once, but this Time-Turner clock will help them stay on top of their schedule. It even has a functional hourglass on the back so they can time their study breaks. Rigorous dental hygiene isn't usually on the top of the list of things teens care about, which is all the more reason a rechargeable toothbrush with a timer is a fantastic gift. It's in the car, the house, and their pocket these days, but many hand sanitizers can smell a little like household cleaner.
Touchland comes in scents like Vanilla Cinnamon and Forrest Berry, or keep it simple and choose unscented. When you gift this lottery card, you're actually giving the gift of charity. When you "win big," you're winning a charitable prize that gets donated to nonprofits in one of four categories: Clean water, solar light, nutritious meals, or literacy tools. To date, LottoLove and its partners have impacted lives in over 70 countries.
You can't go wrong with money for their favorite things, especially for teens who are often relying upon part-time jobs to fund their frequent Chipotle meals and concert trips with friends.
