They are the hardest to buy for and the ones most likely to get saddled with tons of cash and gift cards because of it. Yes, I’m talking about those loveable, huggable teenagers. But don’t worry, gift givers. I did the work and polled the teens (ok, my three teens, but whatever) and I’m here with the best and most comprehensive 2022 Holiday Gift Guide For Teens to help you out.
Filled with fun things for teen girls, boys, and some gender-neutral items (because who doesn’t love a good record player), there is something for every teenager on your list who doesn’t really want straight cash but is afraid to ask for anything else.
Or too lazy to search. Whatever the case may be.
So, without further adieu, here is The 2022 Holiday Gift Guide For Teens.

The 2022 Holiday Gift Guide For Teens
- Vintage Bluetooth Record Player: Vinyl is cool again. All of the kids are telling me this, and this cute little record player happens to be #1 on Kenzie’s Christmas list. In fact, she already has the records to play on it. For the music-loving teen or one who just likes the vintage aesthetic, this is a budget-friendly record player they can pop on their dresser and play until their little hearts are content. Just somebody please warn them about the scratching, because I foresee this is going to be a problem. Grab your record player HERE.
- The COMFY: Yes, this one is pink. But, the COMFY comes in multiple different colors and truly is a gender-neutral gift that all can enjoy. Like a big gigantic blanket with a hood, this thing is all comfort, all the time. Kenzie has one and wears it all of the time in the winter months. She even sleeps in it. A fun yet surprisingly useful gift for all the teens on your list, you can find the COMFY HERE.
- Florence Beauty AVA Gift Set: If you don’t know yet, Stranger Things is all the rage with the young folks. And Florence Beauty is Millie Bobbie Brown’s beauty line (she plays Eleven on the show). But even if your tween or teen isn’t into Stranger Things, this is a great beauty line for them to explore. It is a “clean,” vegan, cruelty-free line that is perfect for young girls just trying to get into the groove of skincare and (light) makeup. I’m also really impressed with the quality for the price. This Gift Set features six mini-products in a cute reusable bag. Definitely a must for all the teen girls on your list, you can get your set HERE.
- Platform Converse All-Star Hightops: Chuck Taylor’s will just never go out of style. I’m convinced of it. Nowadays the kids have leveled them up a bit, literally, by making the platform version the on-trend pair of the moment. These white high tops are on every teen’s wish list so you might as well grab them HERE now.
- Bluetooth Beanie: If you have a teenage boy who isn’t quite able to drive as I do, you probably know that biking and skateboarding is the key to his social life. Dillon cruises around town on his skateboard like the California kid he is and loves the freedom that comes with it. But what everyone else doesn’t love is the music he likes to blast from a speaker in his backpack as he’s doing it. Last year Jeff got him this beanie for our family secret Santa exchange and Dillon loves it. It keeps his head warm during the cool evenings of fall and winter and lets him play his music without polluting the neighborhood airwaves. Definitely a win-win. Get it HERE.
- Stranger Things Lite Brite: This one is on many a Holiday Hot List and with good reason. It marries that aforementioned Stranger Things obsession with the vintage-toy joy that is the Lite Brite. This is a definite must-have for my tween and if you have a ST-fanatic, it is for yours too. Grab it HERE.
- Vintage Records: Remember how I said Vinyl is back? Well, it’s not just back to listen too. It’s back as a decoration, too. Or, more accurately, it’s making its debut as a decoration thanks to handy stacks like this one. Perfect for your teen who is trying to give their room an age-appropriate makeover, this stack is filled with old records they can hang any which way they please. I’m grabbing K a stack so she can hang them up in her new “teenage” room until her little heart is content. You can get them for your teen HERE.
- The Holy Stone Foldable Drone: What teenage boy wouldn’t want a gadget like this one? Easy to fold up and head off to the park or to a friend’s house, this drone is a fun way to get them off the video games for a little good old-fashioned outdoor fun. Have a gadget-obsessed boy on your list? Get them this and watch them fall in love. Get it HERE.
- Hot Ones Truth or Dab Game: Is your teen obsessed with the YouTube show Hot Ones? NO? Just mine? Well, if they’re not, they should be. And even if they’re not, they will love this fun game that combines the good clean fun of Truth or Dare with the classic Hot Sauce “Dab” of Hot Ones. Featuring the actual Hot Ones hot sauce and a bunch of fun “truth” questions, this is sure to be a hit with your teen. (caution: if your kids are not okay with hot stuff, do not get this for them. The label is technically 17+ but my boys both want this one really badly). Get it HERE. PS: The Dave Grohl episode of Hot Ones is the best ever and if you don’t believe me, I dare you to go watch it and convince me otherwise.
Thank you so much for sticking around for this fun 2022 Holiday Gift Guide For Teens. I hope you found something for that hard-to-buy-for teen or tween on your list and I hope you enjoyed the fun and quirky things I found.
