If you’re looking for gifts for teen girls and/or college students, here’s my teen-daughter-approved list. It includes big gifts (the ones they’ll squeal over) and little gifts that they’ll use every day…
1.Hoop And Drop Earrings
According to my teen, you can never have enough earrings. We’ve found that cheaper earrings (often made in brass with a thin gold plating) tend to tarnish and break so I’ve been stocking up during Monica Vinader sales. I bought her these Mini Huggie Hoops in sterling silver last year and she wears them all the time.
Some of our current favorites are these sterling silver Tapered Huggie Earrings and these Swirl Small Hoop Earrings.
You’ll also find some Monica Vinader jewelry at Nordstrom, like these Huggie Hoop Earrings and Topaz Drop Earrings.
Also, take a look at Argento Vivo Sterling Silver’s Oblong Huggie Hoop Earrings( 18k gold plated over sterling silver) and these Rope Hoop Earrings. They’re simple but not boring!
For special occasions, we both like Nadri earrings like these Inside Out Hoops and these Linear Earrings.
Looking for more affordable options? You’ll find some older styles from these brands at Nordstrom Rack. Take a look at these Huggies, these Crescent Hoops, and these CZ Hoop earrings.
2.Jewelry Organizer
If she already has plenty of jewelry, she might need an organizer. I’ve bought my daughter jewelry stands before, but we both prefer multi-layered boxes that are easy to move or store.
We found this one on Amazon (but it’s no longer available). This multi-tiered one has even more storage. This leather one is more expensive but beautiful. And if you prefer wood, take a look at this rosewood one.
3.Cool Sneakers
Here are a few of the sneakers that teen girls and college students are loving right now:
For runners, take a look at these Hoka Bondi 8 Running Shoes.
These Nike Air Force 1 ’07 sneakers are popular for everyday wear (and dancing).
My daughter’s favorite are these Cariuma Salvas.
Sambas are also currently trending.
4.Cozy Slippers
You can’t go wrong with cozy slippers! My teen has UGG® Tasman Slippers om her wishlist. I have the Coquette Slippers.
5.Boots
UGG® boots are popular, especially the Classic Ultra Mini and the Classic Mini.
These Serena Boots and these Harness Booties are two styles that are back from the 90s.
6.Nail Kits
If your teen girls or college students like to do their own nails, then they’ll love some of these gifts…
Olive & June nail polish is 15-free (free of harmful ingredients often found in nail polish), vegan, and cruelty-free. The nail polish, mini sets, and nail care sets are cute stocking stuffers or care package gifts.
This macaron shaped Gel Manicure Set includes polish, a cuticle stick, a nail file and gel removing pads. (Th ere’s a mini version too!)
And don’t forget the hand cream! This little set in her handbag or backpack.
7.Sweatshirts And Sweatpants
These clothes will keep her cozy all winter long.
This waffle sweater and matching jogger are nice for lounging. (Currently on sale).
If she prefers a plain crewneck sweatshirt, this one comes in lots of pretty colors. Add wide leg sweatpants or joggers.
This Vintage Soft Raglan Sweatshirt and these Wide Leg Sweatpants come in 15+ colors.
For a luxury set, take a look at these Brushed Softstreme Joggers and this cropped crewneck sweatshirt.
9.Makeup Mirror
I bought this makeup mirror for my teen for dance competitions. This Tablet Rechargeable Mirror is even slimmer and gets great reviews.
10.Skincare
This little lip set comes in the sweetest flavors!
For spa nights (or a sleepover) giver her this affordable mask set.
If she loves to travel or just try different products, try this popular brand’s Mini Kit.
For a full size gift set, take a look at this Hydrating Set.
11.Makeup
These mini sets by brands that are teen and college student favorites, will give her the option to try out some new looks.
My teen love this Liquid Blush.
This Mini Gems palette is a cute stocking stuffer or gift for a traveler.
I’m a huge fan of this brand. And my daughter loves all things sparkly. So we’ll be fighting over this Lip Glaze Set!
This lip set is affordable and ready for gifting.
12.Cozy Blankets
My teen never seems to have enough fuzzy, cozy blankets. If your teen or college student is a fan of Wicked, she might like this Wicked Plush Throw.
This faux fur blanket is weighted for an extra dose of relaxation.
13.Socks
We always refresh our sock collections around the holidays. My teen love these Real Soft® Crew Socks.
These fleece lined socks are perfect for lounging.
