There’s no denying that teenage girls are a tough bunch to shop for. They’re at the age where they’re growing up and discovering who they are, making them a bit of a mystery (and not to mention v hard to impress). But a pro shopping tip? Something cute, and on-trend is where you’ll hit the jackpot. (Seriously, you’ll be the gift giver of the year with anything that’s gone viral on TikTok!)

Take it from people who used to be picky gals themselves—what’s cool according to teens is ever-changing. Luckily, our job as Cosmo’s shopping editors is to stay on top of trend cycles, viral social media products, and find the very best gifts for teenagers out there. Whether the young person in your life is a music lover who'd flip for an old-school record player, or has entered the world of makeup and would obsess over a beauty gift, there’s something on this list for every teen out there.

From a seventh-grade girl who's just entered her teen years to a 19-year-old college freshman, these are the best gifts for teen girls of all ages and all interests. <3
