66 Gifts for Teens That Are Cool Enough to Impress Them

amazon, etsy

No one has their fingers on the pulse of the biggest trends in fashion, tech, music, or pop culture quite like teens — and they’re not afraid to tell you what they like (or, more accurately, don’t like). This means that unless you’re a card-carrying member of Gen Z, picking out a gift for your favorite teenager that’s actually considered cool in 2022 can be daunting.

To help you out, we polled dozens of real-life teenagers to round up this list of the best gifts for teen boys, teen girls, and nonbinary teens, whether they like to spend their free time experimenting with the latest tech gadgets, keeping up with the hottest TikTok trends, obsessing over their favorite Netflix shows or experimenting with aesthetic room decor.

There’s a range of unique gift ideas for teens on this list: Some are cheap ways to tap into their newfound passions, while others are sentimental gifts to commemorate milestone moments like high school graduations and big birthdays (their sweet 16, for of course). You’ll also find plenty of teen-friendly stocking stuffers and gifts to stock up on as we slide into the holiday shopping season (it’s never too early!). Looking for more gift ideas for teens and tweens? Check out our age-appropriate gift guides for 13-year-old girls, 13-year-old boys, 12-year-olds, and tween girls, too.
