I always thought children were hard to buy for – but teenagers are a whole other level! I thought I’d put together gift ideas for the teens in your life to give you some inspiration when you start your Christmas shopping. I’ve tried to include suggestions for every personality and budget and I hope it gives you a nice starting point.

Something to eat

The way to a teenagers heart is often through their stomach – and chocolate always makes a fantastic gift. This year we love individual Wickedly Welsh Chocolate bars as great stocking fillers. Available in a range of flavours, they are all created at a small chocolate factory in Wales who specialise in creating handmade, artisanal chocolate. This Eton Mess bar blends the iconic trio of strawberries, cream and meringue with moreish white chocolate, creating a flavour sensation too good to miss. You can see the full range of Wickedly Welsh bars here.

Another great stocking filler for teens would be pretty much anything from Cocoba Chocolate. They have so many options that teens would love – from chocolate Christmas Tree Hangers to Hot Chocolate Bombes and Chocolate Bites. You can see their full Christmas range here.

Something for their hair or skin

Beauty gifts are always popular with teens and one of our favourite beauty stocking fillers is pretty much anything from Dr.PAWPAW. Two of our go to products are the Dr.PAWPAW Original Balm and Dr.PAWPAW Tinted Balm. The Original Lip Balm is a multi-award-winning, 100% natural, multi-tasking balm is packed full of Pawpaw – papaya, Aloe Vera and Olive Oil that can be used in a variety of ways, leaving hair, skin and lips feeling soft and soothed.

Dr.PAWPAW Tinted Balm comes in a range of colours and is enriched with the same award-winning formula as the Dr.PAWPAW Original Balm helping to hydrate and soften lips whilst adding a pop of colour. You can see the full Dr.PAWPAW range here.

Another great gift for teenagers would be brow care from got2b. got2b GLUED 4 brows and edges or got2b GLUED 4 brows & edges waterproof would make great stocking fillers for any teenager that likes to keep their eyebrows looking great. This innovative styling gel has been designed to make sure that your brows and edges stay in shape all day long.

Teens always love lip balm and one of our favourites this year is the Wild Refillable Lip Balm that comes in a range of varieties, with a flavour perfect for every teen in your life. Better for the environment, this sustainable option has so many great case colours and would make a lovely stocking filler this year. Plus, Wild have given me a discount code to share. Use WILDDONNA at checkout for 20% off your next order! See the full Wild range here.

For a more substantial beauty gift, the Revlon One-Step Blow-Dry Multi Air Styler 5-in-1 has five versatile attachments that make drying, curling, straightening, and volumising hair a breeze. It’s perfect for teens looking to effortlessly switch up their style. Easy to use, teens can use this to create pretty much any hairstyles that they can think of. A great gift this Christmas.

Something techy

Techy gifts are always great for teens, especially if they always feature their favourite TV shows, movies or characters. One of our top choices this Christmas for a Guardians of the Galaxy fan, is the Groot Alarm Clock from Firebox. Shaped just like the iconic Awesome Mix Vol. 1 cassette tape from the movies, this clock features Baby Groot and has a great “I Am Groot” wake-up call that’ll help any teenager launch into a brand new day.

A great gift for any teen that loves their phone or gaming would be a Cable Guy. The perfect phone or controller holder comes in a vast range of styles and designs, featuring a whole array of characters so you can be sure that you can get one that is perfect for the teen in your life. Our favourite is this Guardians of the Galaxy Rocket Cable Guy, a great choice for Marvel Fans. See the full Cable Guys range here.

For something really nostalgic that any teen will love, get them a Tamagotchi. The Tamagotchi Original virtual pet, features 90s programming! Your teen can raise their Tamagotchi from egg to adult – feed it, clean it up, take care of it, and even discipline it! Available in a range of fun shell designs, it’s a great gift that teenagers can enjoy all year round.

If the teen in your life loves social media, loves recording videos and enjoys nothing more than getting creative in front of a camera, then the Studio Creator Video Maker Kit would be a great gift for them. This kit will help them to create and share their own professional quality videos. It features a green screen, LED ring light, and phone holder, everything budding influencers or filmmakers need to shoot and edit amazing content.

A great gift for your teen’s bedroom would be the So Chill Mini Fridge. Perfect for long gaming sessions, the fridge keeps snacks and drinks cool and close at hand. It means that they can stay hydrated and have their favourite snacks without even having to leave their bedroom – or pause their game or Face Time chat! Available in blue or black, it would make such a fantastic gift this year.

Something fun

Lego will always be one of our top choices for teens. With so many different set themes and sizes to suit all interests, ages and personalities, you can guarantee there will be a Lego set suitable for all children and teenagers this Christmas. One of our favourites is the Lego Transformers Bumblebee set from Very, a fantastic, fun and retro gift that any teen would love to find under the tree this year. You can see more Very toy and game gift ideas here.

It’s always nice to find games that teenagers will really enjoy. One of our favourites this year is Go Viral, a game that will bring friends and family together for the ultimate party game where they attempt the most viral challenges seen across social media. Tackle solo challenges, compete head-to-head, or coordinate group challenges, with over 40 challenges to attempt!

Killer Questions is another great game for teens, the ultimate Would You Rather game that they’ll love playing over Christmas and throughout the year. The questions have been created to have you laughing your socks off. If you’re the odd one out you’ll face deadly consequences! See if you can answer the most questions to end up the last one standing.

Teens will also love Am I A Dirtbag? This great game of changing opinions will get everyone laughing, cringing and talking about so many different topics. Each round begins with a dilemma, presenting players with a questionable situation. The aim is to sway opinions without revealing your own. Test your storytelling skills, weave Prompt Cards into the story to alter perceptions and earn points. It’s a great strategic games that teens and adults will love to play together this Christmas.

We love playing Sosig, a pocket sized strategy card game where players use head and body cards to create the most impressive Sosig. This game combines elements of your favourite funny games with fresh and clever sizzling tactics, making it a great family card game on game night. A great gift for teens this Christmas.

Alternatively, Hoddog would make a lovely gift this Christmas too! Another fast-paced game with a hot dog theme, simply battle to build the ultimate hot dog before the ketchup splats! Such great fun for a family games night.

For something completely different, Zensu, an abstract strategy games. It’s a mind-challenging game that requires players to think ahead and make strategic moves, perfect for teens and adults who love puzzles and logic-based games. A great game to play from Christmas and all through the new year.

For a really high energy party game, buy your teen Srirach Ya Problem – the fib-finding, bottle-flinging, fired-up party game! The person holding the Srirach Ya Bottle is the Chilli King and must find the fibber amongst the jibber! Each person takes a chilli token with either truth or lie written on it. The Chilli King must throw the Srirach Ya Bottle at who they think is lying whilst shouting “SRIRCH-YA PROBLEM!” A great game to spice up your games night.

A great gift for Harry Potter fans of all ages would be their very own wand. The 14″ Light Painting Lumos Wand gives you the ability to paint with light. Spells and artistic creations can be saved to a smartphone using the app and shared with friends and family.

Teen anime fans will love the Chibi Masters collectibles from Bandai UK. Style your own anime adventures with these highly detailed, non-articulated anime figures that have been expertly crafted, and intricately detailed.  Each figure stands on its own display base and the range includes Dragon Ball, Demon Slayer, My Hero Accademia, and Naruto.

If your teen loves having a bath then they will love the Boogie Bath Duck Light from Gift Republic. This fun light will let anyone light up their bath and boogie! This LED light-up bath toy featuers vibrant, multi-colored lights with three different light combinations for an underwater disco effect. Everyone would love to find this in their stocking this year.

For something completely different, why not get a badminton set? A great game that the whole family can get involved in, this badminton set from Badminton HQ includes everything you’d need to get active as a family or with friends.

Something to wear

A great gift for teenagers is pyjamas and British Boxers have a fantastic range. They’re timeless, traditional pyjamas that are made to last and teens will love sleeping in them, lounging in them and pretty much living in them over Christmas and throughout the year. Plus, British Boxers sell mens, women’s and kids pyjamas so everyone can match over Christmas too. See the whole British Boxers range here.

Something practical

Practical gifts are always a good choice for teenagers and most love new stationery. Stabilo have a fantastic range of pens and highlighters that would be a really nice gift for teens this Christmas. We love the Stabilo Swing Cool Pastel Highlighters. This pack of eight highlighters in great colours would be great to use at school, college or whilst revising. You can see the full Stabilo range here.

Calendars are always a great teen gift as they not only help them to be organised but also work like a constantly changing poster, showcasing their favourite band, artist, TV show or movie franchise throughout the year. Danilo have a great range of calendars this year – including this beautiful, retro looking Taylor Swift wall calendar – and they are sure to have one that is perfect for the teenager in your life. You can see the full range here.

All teens love to be cosy and snuggly, especially at Christmas, so they are bound to love the comfort of a Warmies gift this Christmas. Warmies are the perfect blend of warmth, comfort, and cuteness, making them an ideal gift for any teens this year. The Marshmallow Sloth is just one of the vast Warmies range of fully heatable soft toys that can be heated in a microwave to provide hours of soothing warmth and comfort. The Warmies are gently scented with relaxing lavender and can be reheated time and time again. They’re also weighted, making them even more cuddly than traditional cuddly toys. A great gift choice this Christmas.

Another practical but fun option would be a teen scooter. Not just for little kids, scooters are great fun, help teens to get from A to B and keep them active too. The JD Bug range from Skates.co.uk would be a great choice for teens this Christmas.

Something creative

It’s always nice to let teens express themselves with a creative gift and one of our favourites this year is a Grow It kit, allowing teens to grow their own plant before keeping it alive for years to come. Grow It Carnivorous Plants has everything you need to grow two different carnivorous plants – Venus Fly Trap and Pitcher Plant.

Something special
