13 Gifts For Teen Girls And College Students

November 8, 2024November 18, 2025 Updated onNovember 18, 2025 Lifestyle

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…

Disclosure: Some of the links in this post are affiliate links, which means that I might earn a commission when you click on these links to shop. Your support allows and inspires me to keep creating. Thank you!

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 on Monica Vinader sterling silver jewelry during their sales. I bought her Mini Huggie Hoops in sterling silver last year, and she wears them all the time. You’ll find Monica Vinader jewelry at Nordstrom.

Also, take a look at Argento Vivo Sterling Silver’s Oblong Huggie Hoop Earrings (18k gold-plated over sterling silver). They’re simple but not boring!

For special occasions, we both like Nadri earrings like these Inside Out Hoops.

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

Faux leather jewelry box in gray and cream.

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 favorites are these Cariuma Salvas.

Sambas are also currently trending.

4. Cozy Slippers

UGG® shearling trimmed slippers in blue.

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. (There’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 joggers 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) give 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 loves 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.

Cream faux fur blanket rolled and tied with a gold ribbon.

13. Socks

We always refresh our sock collections around the holidays. My teen loves these Real Soft® Crew Socks.

These fleece-lined socks are perfect for lounging.

If you're shopping for a teen girl or college student this year, let me know what you'll be buying!
