Attention, Parent Shoppers

If you live with a teenage girl, you're in the right place. Knowing what to buy for the young woman in your life can be just as difficult as keeping up with their latest adolescent, TikTok-fueled jargon — which is why we consulted teens and their parents and pored through countless items of confusing, modern-day youth culture to bring you this list of the best gifts for teenage girls. Highlights include an on-trend skincare favorite from The Ordinary and a fashion-forward Urban Outfitters tote.
