2. Nail Polish
Girl, I pay attention and teenage girls everywhere have polish on their nails.
If this sounds like your girl, she is going to love this brand. So many colors for her! If she likes to be extra, include this nail art kit.
3. Lip Balm
Sometimes I feel like when I am putting together a gift it needs just a little something more.
This lip balm is perfect for that. It is such a hit with teenage girls right now and it is so good.
4. Makeup
Does your girl love makeup? There are so many great options to choose from the drugstore these days.
5. Makeup Brushes
If she loves makeup, she is going to need some dynamite tools to help her out.
Let's be honest, great brushes equal so much better results. If she takes care of them, these brushes will last a long time.
6. Makeup Bag or Makeup Organizer
Help her organize all of her makeup so it isn’t just lying all over the place.
This makeup bag looks classic and is something that she can grow with. It is amazing how it lays open when unzipped.
This makeup organizer makes it easy for her to see everything since it is clear.
7. Travel Mirror
Hey friend, if you don’t have a travel mirror, you might as well add 2 of them to your cart. This is so good that you are going to want one too.
It is so travel-friendly but is big enough for her to do her hair and makeup while she is on the go.
If you know she already has a bigger travel mirror, or maybe she doesn't but you don't want to get her something that big then try a compact mirror. This one will fit in any bag that she carries.
8. Hair Items
Make a hair-themed gift basket for your girl. Just add some of her favorite hair products like shampoo and conditioner to it and she will be pumped.
All of my sisters (I have 6 of them, and nope that is NOT a joke) and my daughter have this brush and love it so much.
9. Hair Tools
Since we are talking about her hair, why not get her some amazing hair tools? Try not to cheap out on these. They just don't work as well.
10. Makeup Table
Oh man, if I had the space, I would have this makeup table.
It is the perfect size for her to do her hair and makeup with enough top space to hold items too! This is something that she can have for a very long time.

Pamper
11. Bath Bombs
You and I both know that she has her fair share of stress going on in her life.
She will be able to take some time to relax with these bath bombs.
Why not teach her early how to show herself some love and pamper?
12. Shower Steamers
Maybe she doesn’t love baths and that’s just fine.
Check out these shower steamers for her. They smell so good that she is going to want to stay in there for a long time.
13. Sugar Body Scrub
Tree Hut Sugar Body Scrub smells so good and will leave her skin feeling soft and smooth.
Teen girls are in love with this, and you know what...I love using it too.
14. Towel Wrap
She is going to love this towel wrap.
It will come in handy soon if she goes off to college and lives in the dorms or with others.
15. Hair Towel Wrap
This hair towel wrap works so much better than wrapping a towel up in her hair.
It creates less frizz in her hair and is so much lighter than a towel too.
16. Face Mask Skin Care
These face masks are perfect for your girl and her friends to do together.
I got them for my 2 nieces, who are 15, and they love them so much.
17. Bath and Body Works
This store has so many wonderful products that smell heavenly.
Shower gel, lotion, body mist, and so much more to choose from. I always go with the classic Vanilla if I am not sure what she will like best.

Clothes
18. School Gear
Help your girl show some school spirit with some school gear. I love giving t-shirts and sweatshirts the best.
If she is planning to attend college and already knows where she wants to go, you can get some of that gear too.
19. Pajamas
Your 16-year-old is going to go nuts over any comfy pajamas that you find for her. I just love when I find good pajamas!
21. Socks
Oh wow, there are so many fun socks out there. And why not, right? These socks are a hoot!
Also, these big, comfy, and fuzzy socks are just what your teen needs for lounging around the house on those cooler days. They have nonslip bottoms, which I love when they have that.

Accessories
23. Bags
She is going to love carrying around all of her essentials in a trendy bag. Hopefully, it will help her keep better track of her things.
24. Jewelry
If you don't want to go to an actual jewelry store, Amazon carries some amazing items.
Quality pieces of jewelry are gifts that can last her a lifetime, and for that I would head on over to Shane Co. Their selection and price range is phenomenal.
25. Watch
I am not sure why, but I am always surprised at how many teen girls I see wearing a watch. There is a wide variety to choose from.
I have a classic watch but after seeing all of these options, I think I need to add to my watch collection too.
26. Sunglasses
Whether it is winter or summer, your girl will love wearing some new sunglasses.
But holy moly, sunglass styles change like hot cakes. I would only go with sunglasses as a gift if you really know your girl’s style.
27. Hats
All girls need a great baseball hat and a winter hat warm and stylish enough to help get her through the coldest days.
My daughter and her friends are so in love with this baseball hat. They can wear a ponytail or messy bun at any height.
These winter hats are so warm and come in so many different colors that she won't have a problem wearing them during the winter.
28. Scarf
Do you live where it gets cold like I do?
This soft scarf will keep her warm and cozy. There are so many beautiful colors and patterns to choose from.

Bedroom Décor
29. Photo String Lights
She will not be able to get enough of these photo clip string lights.
They are battery powered so she can hang them anywhere in her room.
They stay up well with these clear command hooks. I know this to be true since we just hung these up in my daughter's room.
30. Picture Frames
Maybe her wall space is a little sparse, no worries. Help her show off her favorite pictures with a picture frame or 2.
Picture frames are an amazing gift for her to give to all her girls as well.
31. Bedroom Chair
I can not begin to tell you how much I see my daughter lounging in the chair in her bedroom.
This saucer chair is so great if she is short on space.
But if she has the room, then you have to get this chill sac.
32. Sherpa Fleece Blanket
No girl can resist a sherpa fleece blanket that is so soft and snuggly.
We have gifted this blanket so many times and have a few of our own. Everyone wants to use these the most.
33. Felt Letter Board
She is going to love this double-sided felt letter board. It comes with so many letters and symbols that she will never run out of sayings to put on it.
I get sneaky and make messages for my daughter to find. She rolls her eyes sometimes but I know that she loves finding them.
34. Marquee Letter Lights
If her room isn’t all about her yet, it will be with this marquee letter light.
And you know she is the most important person in her world right now. Thankfully it is battery powered and she can control it with a remote.
35. Flameless Candles
Girls love candles but I just can’t get on board with them lighting real candles in her bedroom.
Bring on these battery candles.
You can get her the classic matching ones or get a little crazy and go for the multi colored ones.

Her Interests
36. Water Bottle
I am so glad that it is well known how important hydrating is these days.
Of course, she is going to want to carry around a water bottle that is in style and amazing.
37. Water Bottle Stickers
Add these water bottle stickers to her water bottle gift. She can decorate her water bottle and make it completely her own.
38. Cookbooks and Apron
It is completely amazing if your 16 year old is into cooking and baking.
At least she will be able to fix herself good meals. Help her grow that interest with some cookbooks and an apron.
Hopefully, she will want to take over for you every so often and you can have off your kitchen duties. Umm, yes, please!
39. Drawing Kit
Can your girl draw? If so, she can never have enough materials for it.
I was never able to draw well enough to have a passion for it and I am amazed at those that can.
40. Painting Kit
Does her creativity run with painting? Oh, I envy her skills!
These are some painting supplies she is going to be more than happy to get from you.
41. Journal
With everything going on in your 16 year old's life, sometimes the best way to relieve some of her stress is to write it down.
This is a beautiful journal for her. Better out than in!
42. Lessons
43. Experiences
44. Gift Cards
But if gift cards are your jam, or you just ran out of time, these are some gift card options that she wants from you.

Tech
45. Instax Camera
I am sure your girl is hanging out with her friends like crazy these days and she should want to capture some of those memories.
This Instax Camera is dynamite and she is going to love it!
You need to add some extra film when you gift it to her. We both know that 1 pack of the film won't be enough.
46. Nintendo Switch
Are video games her thing? Then I know she is going to love a Nintendo Switch.
You can also check out the Nintendo Switch Lite which is just an on-the-go way to play video games.
47. Kindle
OMG, if she likes to read then she needs to have a Kindle.
I have had mine for 7 years now and it is the most used thing that I own, maybe besides my tennis shoes and water bottle.
It is so great that my daughter has started using it too! She doesn’t have to buy books for it either. She can load eBooks from her local library to save you money!
48. Portable Speaker
Music, music, and more music. Teens love music especially when they are hanging out with friends.
This portable speaker sounds way better than music from her phone.
49. Earbuds/Headphones
And since we are talking about listening to music, there will be times that she will want to listen to music on her own. Or you may want her to turn it down.
Headphones and Earbuds are just the ticket.
