When shopping for the best gifts for teens, ask yourself one question: will they actually like what you're buying them? No one wants to give (or receive) a present that will get thrown to the side, so we've gathered a list of gift ideas you can choose from, including several picks recommended by actual teens.

From the latest popular tech gifts for high schoolers and fashion trends to the best makeup gift sets and jewelry gifts, the competition to give your friends and loved ones the most unique and inexpensive present is going to be a piece of cake. Plus, we included cute personalized options (this bubble initial necklace is everything) from TikTok in case you want to make their present extra sweet.

If they're always watching makeup tutorials on YouTube, we've got the perfect beauty advent calendar gift sets filled with best-selling cosmetics, skin care, and hair care goodies. If they never miss reading their horoscope, choose a fun, astrology-inspired gift.

No matter their preference, there's something for teens (and tweens) of all ages and phases to choose from right here.
