1. Give her a LEGO set that’s fun to build & beautiful to display.

If your teenage girl used to enjoy putting together LEGO sets, chances are – they still do!

We love their botanical collection because they feel grown up with just the right amount of whimsy.

This large-size LED dry-erase board comes with fluorescent liquid chalk markers your teen can use to write or draw on a glass message board. Then, she can use the remote control to light up her message or artwork for the world to see!

If your teen doesn’t need the remote or needs a more compact size, this It’s Lit! Light Up LED 9″ x 9″ Message Board comes with three markers and is on sale for just $14.99 (regularly $17.99).

A reusable water bottle or tumbler makes a great gift for any teenage girl if she doesn’t already have one. If your teen is hoping for the high-end name-brand version, you can splurge on a Stanley for around $40 or less depending on the size you need.

Many teenage girls can appreciate the joy of receiving an experience over material things. There are endless options when gifting an experience, depending on your teen’s interests, hobbies, and personality. Best of all, you can customize your gift to suit any budget!

Consider a salon or spa visit, an escape room, indoor rock climbing, a baking or arts & crafts MasterClass, private lessons related to their sport or hobby, bowling passes, amusement park admission, tickets to a sporting event, concert tickets, or even a visit to a special destination.
