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 edible gifts are always a great choice for teens! With that in mind, the Haribo Sweet Bouquet from Sweet Hamper Company will put a smile on any teens face this Christmas.

This sweet bouquet contains a huge amount of the most popular Haribo in the UK. From Starmix, Tangfastics, Supermix and two big bags of Haribo as well! It really is every Haribo sweet lovers’ dream. The Sweet Hamper Company is a one stop shop for delectable sweet bouquets and so many other edible gifts. They have the perfect range of unique gifts for Christmas and any other time of the year. You can see their full range here.

Something for their hair or skin

Beauty gifts are always popular with teens and this year we love Tolpa Dermo Face Sebio range – a dermatologist-developed skincare line designed specifically for blemish-prone and oily skin, making it a thoughtful and practical gift for teens.

The Serbio range is targeted for teen skin – helping to manage breakouts, whilst reducing excess oil and congestion without any harshness. The products are perfect for teens navigating skincare for the first time, with simple routines the promise real results. Popular products in the range include Tolpa Sebio Max Effect Face Wash, Tolpa Sebio 3-Step Regimen and Tolpa Sebio Pore-Refining Cream. You can see the full range here.

For a bright and colourful stocking filler that teens will love, La Vida Caribeña Body Fragrance Mists would be a great choice. The body mists come in a variety of tropical scents that are inspired by the tropical islands of the Caribbean with both keychain-size and full-sized options so they can smell amazing on the go or at home!

Something techy

Techy gifts are always great for teens, especially if they feature their favourite TV shows, movies or characters. One of our top choices this Christmas for a Guardians of the Galaxy fan, is the Smiley Groot 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. See the full Cable Guys range here.

All teens love a techy gift but it’s nice to find something that they’ll love even more than a mobile phone or tablet computer. One of our favourites this year is the Yoto Player, a gift that will inspire them to turn their screens off and their imaginations on!

Often bought for younger children, but suitable for any age, Yoto is an interactive audio platform for kids which offers over 1,000 audio titles spanning stories, songs, activities, and more to inspire creativity, imagination and learning without a screen. One of our favourite choices for teens this year is the Yoto His Dark Materials Collection, a fantastic book series that teens can listen to with the Yoto audio player whenever they like. You can find out more about Yoto here.

For teens who are always on their phones, a portable charger would make a great gift. Available in a range of colours, this lipstick sized charger from iWALK will make sure their phone stays charged all day no matter where they are. The small but mighty design features a high charging capacity with a built in connector so they don’t need to worry about taking an extra cable with them. This small and portable charger will easily fit into any pocket or bag and the sparkly design adds a bit of fun that many teens will love.

Another great practical and techy gift would be the 3-in-1 Illuminated LED Mirror from Carmen. This beautiful mirror effortless combines a cosmetic mirror, a high quality speaker and a wireless charger so you can perfect your look whilst listening to music or watching makeup tutorials – a great gift for the teen in your life!

For teens who love to listen to music, the Edifier ES20 portable bluetooth speaker would make a great gift. Compact, powerful, and built for life on the go, the ES20 combines high-quality audio, seamless stereo pairing and up to 15 hours of battery life on a single charge making it perfect for so many everyday adventures. It looks great and has so many extra features too – a built in microphone for calls and even customisable LED lighting to add a really festive touch!

Something fun

It’s always nice to find games that teenagers will really enjoy. One of our favourites this year is Piles, a fast-paced game with no turns and no time to waste! It’s like nothing else you have ever played, just make sure you don’t fold under pressure. It’s such an easy to learn family game that you’ll all be playing long into the new year.

For those music fans, Hitster Guilty Pleasures is a dynamic party game that seamlessly blends music and excitement, featuring over 300 of your favourite hits!

Warmies are best known for their cosy, scented plush toys, and now they’ve created bag charms that any teem is bound to love. This Warmies Boba Bag Charm is weighted, lightly scented, and irresistibly soft – designed to clip onto handbags or rucksacks. It would make s thoughtful stocking filler for anyone this Christmas. See the full Warmies Bag Charm range here.

So many of the teens in my life love cuddly toys and Squishmallows will always be a firm favourite. This Original Squishmallows Micromallows Plush 3 Pack is a top choice this Christmas, featuring Auggie the Cuttlefish, Zinx the Alien, and Weaver the Waffle in their smallest size yet!

A great gift for the sporty teen in your life would be the Strikesphere Counter Ball.

It features instant audio feedback and a fun interactive glow on every successful touch making practice sessions more engaging and motivating than ever.

Something practical

Practical gifts are always a good choice for teenagers and most love new stationery so a lovely new notebook from Vistaprint would be just the thing. A lovely stocking filler, you can choose the design, text and colours, even including photos if you want to. You can see the full Vistaprint notebook 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 Star Wars Calendar and Diary Gift Box Set.

This fantastic gift set is the ultimate treat for Star Wars fans and includes an official 2026 square calendar, a matching A5 diary, and a branded pen, all beautifully packaged making it an ideal gift this Christmas. You can see the full Danilo range here.
