How to Delay Your Period Safely, According to OB/GYNs

Don’t believe everything you see on TikTok.

Similar to Shrek, teen girls are like onions. They have layers. And as you peel them back, you discover what keeps them booked and busy—online and off—and interests upon interests that you never knew were there. Part of the whole teen-girl schtick is never really knowing what they’re thinking, making it extra challenging to figure out the best gifts for teen girls, be it your daughter, niece, or little sister. (As a former teen girl, I wish I knew the power I held.)

However, you’ll know she really likes it if she posts about your present in any way, shape, or form on TikTok. Given how much content these younger generations absorb and create, if your gift makes the FYP, you know it must be good.

To help y’all find the best gifts for teen girls, I spent hours researching (read: scrolling the internet) to see what themes and topics are hitting lately for that age group. The consensus? Most teenage girls want to indulge in luxurious self care, have a top-notch, glow-boosting skin care regimen, own only cute things in their closets, and have a space that feels like theirs. (They just won’t say any of that out loud.)

All this research taught me that we have more in common with teen girls than we might realize. Yes, our interests have changed or maybe even upgraded over the years, but the bottom line stays the same: We want to feel like grown-ups and have nice things.

These gifts for teen girls emulate that exact feeling, so you can find the perfect TikTok-ready gift for your teen—and potentially kickstart a life of prioritizing self-care (as well as giving them the satisfaction of having new pieces they’d be proud to show off to their friends).

Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber De-Tox Hydra-Gel Eye Patches — $55.00

Half the fun of teen girlhood is pretending you need all the skin-care products people in their 20s and 30s do, but really just wanting to feel the adult-like zen that comes with it. Peter Thomas Roth’s Hydra-Gel Eye Patches are the product equivalent of laying slices of cucumber over your eyes, but better because these will deliver good-for-her-skin ingredients and treat tired eyes after hours of scrolling on the phone or staring at a laptop.

Fancii LED Lighted Vanity Makeup Mirror — $124.00

If she loves playing with makeup, this lighted makeup mirror will help her step out looking like the best version of herself.
