The best gifts for teenage girls, according to Vogue:
Vogue’s Louisa Parka Bowles shares that she’s “not sure the girls would agree, but the very best gift we’ve given our teens, was a Doodle Nest book filled with all their artwork from nursery and school, beautifully photographed and curated into a keepsake coffee table book. The idea was that you wouldn’t need to hold onto all the originals, which can take up so much space over the years and now sounds a lot more like a gift for myself – but I haven’t been able to part with any of it!”
“Last Christmas however, we gave them Coldplay tickets, which I’m sure they would vote as their favourite gift to date. We all went together over the summer – it was magical. There’s something so special about seeing the girls enjoy music that we love too. I usually take my godchildren to the theatre in December as their Christmas present – this year we have our sights set on Paddington The Musical.” Vogue’s Laura Ingham’s teens are also hoping for concert tickets this year, with Raye and Little Simz at the top of their lists.
Personally, my stocking never ceased to fill me with festive joy regardless of my age. No moody teenage temperament could get in the way of me and my red knitted sack, bursting at the seams on Christmas morning. From a new pair of fluffy socks to the latest beauty must-have, there will always be something charming about unwrapping what feels like a million small gestures and digging out a bag of ye old faithful gold chocolate coins.
Save yourself hours of guessing what’s cropping up on their social feeds – and the fear of gifting sneakers that are “so last year” – and allow us to present the very best gifts for teenage girls, straight from the source. From Jellycat charms to tracksuits, headphones to make-up, scroll on to shop British Vogue’s edit of the best gifts for teenage girls in 2025 for this Christmas, and beyond.
The best gifts for teenage girls, according to the teenage daughters of team Vogue:
Stocking fillers
When we asked the teenage daughters of team Vogue about their ideal stocking fillers, the feedback was clear. Stationary, lip balm, fluffy socks and sweets or chocolate of some kind were resounding winners.
Jellycat Amuseables
You don’t need to be in the weeds of Tik-Tok to know about Jellycat’s cult following. We have it on good authority that Jellycat’s latest toys and charms are already proving to be a hit among Gen Z.
School corridor essentials
If you’re turning 30 this year, the return of the zip-up hoodie and Longchamp bag combo – which is trending amongst teens right now – may strike a nerve. Oversized hoodies are the new craze, so be sure to size up if they’re to be seen in school corridors anytime soon.
It-sneakers
If you know a teen who’s after fresh kicks, there are plenty of trending trainers available now. From Adidas Sambas to Nike Air Force 1s, you can’t go wrong with gifting a covetable style of the moment.
Trackies
You’d be hard-pressed to find a teen who’d be disappointed at the sight of slouchy joggers. Give in this year and get them a pair they’ll live in all year round.
Trending water bottles
We’re not quite sure when it happened, but water bottles are now considered a must-have accessory. The trending models? Get your hands on an Ice-Flow Stanley cup or FreeSip Owala reusable bottle and thank us later.
For the music lovers
Are the teens in your life desperate to see their favourite artists? Contribute towards their gig savings with a Ticketmaster gift card, or gift them headphones to help them learn the lyrics. Raye and Little Simz are top priorities for many teens this year, including the daughters of Vogue’s deputy director of the Global Fashion Network, Laura Ingham.
Beauty must-haves
Celebrity-founded brands like Rare Beauty and Rhode rank highly among teenagers right now. See also: the latest sweet-themed edition of Laneige’s cult lip mask (a team Vogue favourite) and Benefit’s highlighter. Whether these beauty heroes are already on your recipient’s wish-list, or if you plan to purchase as a surprise, we have no doubt your teen will love these current must-haves.

Summer Fridays
Summer Fridays Jet Lag Eye Patches
- Why we love it: A standby in Dr Khanna’s travel kit, “Summer Fridays’ hydrogel under-eye patches are designed to minimise the look of dark circles,” she says. “Niacinamide helps brighten the under-eyes, while glycerin and hyaluronic acid deliver lasting hydration.” The royal-blue patches are also infused with caffeine, which, Dr Khanna says, constricts blood vessels to reduce puffy eyes. “With all those ingredients together, these patches make the ultimate in-flight essential for refreshed, well-rested under eyes,” she says. Infused with hydrating glycerin, calming allantoin, and brightening vitamin C, these cooling patches visibly reduce puffiness and dark circles in just 10 minutes. The contoured, no-slip design means they stay put while you multitask, so whether you’re actually suffering from jet lag or just everyday tiredness, they’ll quickly revive your eyes.
- Key ingredients: Glycerin, hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, cucumber extract, panthenol
- Benefits: Hydrates, soothes, de-puffs
- How to apply: Apply patches to clean, dry skin and leave them on for at least 10 minutes. Discard after use, and pat any remaining serum into the skin.
- Count: 6 pairs per box
Gisou
Honey Gloss Ceramide Therapy Hair Mask
- Why we love it: “Ceramides play a vital role in restoring the balance needed to maintain the hair’s structure, strength, and resilience,” says Ball. Gisou’s mask is full of biomimetic ceramides, and by helping replenish those lost during bleaching and styling, it restores both strength and shine. The brand’s homegrown Mirsalehi honey is a workhorse here – it acts as a humectant to attract moisture and reduce hair fall. And of course, we love the playful packaging that sits pretty on any bathroom shelf.
- Key ingredients: Mirsalehi honey, ceramides, multiweight hyaluronic acid, omegas 3, 6 & 9
- Sizes: 75ml, 230ml

Suri
SURI 2.0 Electric Toothbrush
The SURI 2.0 is, as the name suggests, the second iteration of the fashion-favourite electric toothbrush. The brand has built on the original model, retaining its long-lasting battery life and eco-credentials but improving the brushing experience by introducing a pressure sensor, supercharging the motor and offering battery-powered UV sterilisation in the charging case. The toothbrush is as chic as ever with the same sherbert colourways, but the latter charging case has a whole new look with a sleek, curved design and the ability to power up wirelessly. The brush head is made from plant-based materials, while the body is reusable and recyclable.
