Finding the best gifts for teen girls can be challenging. They're familiar with all the latest TikTok beauty hacks and cool tech, which means you've got to search high and low to find something they don't already have. Staying on top of the trends can be a full-time job in itself, but we are here to help.

We've rounded up some of the best gifts for teen girls, including a few viral TikTok must-haves and some more unique, thoughtful picks for every interest and style.
