This year’s teen-approved picks lean into things they already love: dope beauty products, lit collectibles, tech that's 6-7 (am I doing this right?). Bonus points if it shows up on TikTok. I think.
In this article: ZURU Fuggler Love Fuggs S2 Pink, Touchland Hydrating Body & Hair Fragrance Mist, Golden Amber and LANEIGE JuicePop Box Lip Tint
These gifts probably won't trigger any secondhand embarrassment, and may even get more than a monotone "thanks." But with teens, you just never know, so no guarantees.
ZURU Fuggler Love Fuggs S2 Pink
If the Labubu craze taught us anything, it's that teens love a weird, kind of scary-looking plush. Fugglers are definitely that. This chaotic plush honestly looks more like an inside joke than a stuffed animal, but that's the vibe.
Touchland Hydrating Body & Hair Fragrance Mist, Golden Amber
This travel-size fragrance mist works for both hair and body, making it easy to refresh on the go. Golden Amber has a warm, trendy scent profile that feels elevated without being overpowering, great for teens experimenting with fragrance for the first time.
This lightweight lip tint delivers buildable color with a glossy finish and long-lasting hydration, comfortable enough for everyday wear.
