Arts and crafts kits are always fun, and it means she'll be able to put her own style into whatever she makes. It's also the perfect slumber party activity—she and all her friends can walk into school on Monday and show off their DIY bag charms on their backpacks. Yeah, I'd be pretty jealous.
I've gone through about three Fjällräven Kanken backpacks in my lifetime, and I've loved all of them. This sky blue color is so pretty—she probably won't be the only one with a Kanken backpack at her school, but she might be the only one with this cool color. Its laptop pocket also makes it great for school and travel. And did I mention how cute it is?

If she's always devouring the latest novel trending on BookTok, a Kindle is a great gift. She'll be able to download hundreds of books on one device so she doesn't always have to carry around a heavy hardcover, and she can highlight and take notes digitally. And it's a great resource for learning new words—she can click on any word for its definition and up those vocab skills.
Kids these days are always on their phones. (OK, I really shouldn't be talking because so am I.) Point is, teens use their phone cases as a way to show off their style and personality; since they use their phones everyday, it's nice to have a fun accessory that adds some color and pizzazz. I think this design is pretty cute, but Burga has so many patterns to choose from, there's bound to be one that fits her style—just make sure you know which phone model she has before you order.

Here's a little secret: We're never too old for stuffed animals. So whether she's still in junior high or is heading off to college, she'll be elated to get a Jellycat plushie. They're all incredibly soft and undeniably adorable, so she'll probably be obsessed with whichever Jellycat toy you choose, but this smiling sun is a pretty safe bet. Bashful Bunny is also a classic option. Either is better than a Labubu.

Laneige lip masks are all the rage, and the brand recently launched its Strawberry Shortcake lip mask, which is basically three in one. The top layer (red) is fresh berry, the middle layer (pink) is strawberry cream, and the bottom layer (cream) is vanilla cake. (Is it weird that I kind of want to eat it?)

I was a teen girl in the mid-2010s, so of course I've read John Green's entire oeuvre, and I believe every teen today should experience the joys and sorrows of reading a John Green novel. This box set of five titles features the first book that ever made me cry (The Fault in Our Stars) and one of my top five favorite books of all time (Looking For Alaska). If she's anything like me, she'll read and re-read these books for years to come.

If she's just starting to experiment with makeup, Tarte is a great place to start. I'm obsessed with the brand's tinted lip balms with juicy maracuja oil that make them super hydrating and glossy. Last year I ordered a bunch of different colors of these and gave them to my friends for the holidays. They're great because not only do they add a pop of color, but they also nourish your lips so they stay healthy.
If you know a teen who loves to bake, this stand mixer from Bella is the perfect gift to help her out. I used mine recently to make banana bread, and it really was easy as pie (excuse the pun). It's also small and easy to store due to its clever design. Plus, maybe you'll get to try whatever she bakes next. Cake? Cookies? Brownies? It all sounds good to me.

The viral Shark FlexStyle is also at the top of my cousin's wishlist (shout out Fiona). It's more expensive than most of these other gifts, so I'll leave this one for my aunt and uncle to buy for her, but if you're looking for that big-ticket Christmas or eighth-night-of-Hanukkah present, this is pretty much as good as it gets.
