Shopping for teen girls has become one of my favorite parts of the season. My girls are growing up so fast, and I love finding gifts that feel special, useful, and true to who they are.
Around here, we keep things pretty simple—minimal tech, lots of creativity, and plenty of time together—so these ideas lean more toward cozy, hands-on, and heart-felt than trendy or screen-centered. These are things my girls genuinely love and use, and I hope they spark some ideas for the teen (or soon-to-be teen!) in your life too.
