The Gifts Teens Are Dreaming Of

Generation Z definitely belongs to a world apart, with codes and desires that often remain a mystery. The ultimate Christmas dilemma : what gifts should you choose to truly delight a teenage girl ? The Do It Team investigated with the coolest and most stylish Parisian teens, who shared their curated wishlist.

 

A GISOU LIP OIL

When one of the most-followed influencers launches her own beauty brand, you can’t go wrong. The honey-infused lip oil by Gisou, founded by Negin Mirsalehi (7.1M followers on Instagram), hydrates and subtly enhances the lips : an essential in any teenager’s makeup pouch. Our favorite shade: Sticky Coffee, a super-trendy brown hue.

 

a mauve apple headset

Gen Z may be ultra-connected, but they’re also known for doing it in style. Apple’s AirPods Max, now available in this adorable mauve shade, are guaranteed to make all their friends jealous. Simply mention that the headphones offer noise-cancellation, perfect for studying, you’ve got the perfect gift. Bonus: engraving is free, so they can keep it for life !

 

a set of anti-pimple patches

Let’s be honest: adolescence and acne go hand in hand. To soften the blow with humor and style, teens now love covering their pimples with patches that help heal while looking fun. We’re obsessed with these holographic Merci Handy versions shaped like stars, hearts, or clouds.

 

a trendy winter balaclava 

Once rejected, now adored, the balaclava has become the winter must-have to shop ASAP. Topshop offers one of the most stylish versions with its buttoned Hailey model : perfect for facing the incoming polar temperatures.

 

Zadig & Voltaire bag charms

If being the coolest parent at school doesn’t scare you, head straight to a Zadig & Voltaire boutique to snag one of the trendiest accessories around: their signature bag charms. Options include a cowboy boot, a retro motorbike helmet, or even a half-peeled banana. We’re obsessed !

 

a labubu plush to clip everywhere

This one might scare some parents, but these little plush toys, called Labubu, are the latest obsession among younger teens. The concept ? You buy the box without knowing which model is inside. Once unboxed, the fluffy monster gets clipped onto their school bag or traded secretly among friends.

 

a matcha can by andie ella

If you refused to take them to the pop-up event of green-powder queen Andie Ella last month, it’s time to make amends. This white-chocolate ceremonial matcha in a can, crafted in Japan and signed Milia Matcha, will definitely make them forget your slight misstep.

 

a designer mug

Jacquemus, aka the coolest designer of his generation, offers stunning travel cups to elevate their favorite drinks and show off in the school courtyard. A confidence-boosting gift that teens will take everywhere !

 

a checkered scrunchie

The pink checkered scrunchie by My Jewelry checks all the boxes for the perfect teen gift: affordable, useful, and very on trend. Its retro look and oversized shape make it the ideal accessory for budding fashion lovers.

 

a statement ring

Original, colorful, and graphic, this All In Green Wood ring by La Manso adds a fun and bold twist to any outfit : without going overboard. It’s the perfect piece for expressing their style and beginning a long jewelry collection.
