Welcome to my teens and tweens gift guide. Tweens and teens can be the hardest to buy for. They don't really want toys any more and the the trends change so fast that it's hard to keep up. So, to help you out - here is a whole list of things currently on trend for Christmas 2023.
Contents
Stanley Cups
Stanley cups are the new Yeti, which were the new Frank Green. All the teens and tweens want them! They come in a range of colours and sizes, but it's The Quencher - Flow State that they want. As an additional accessory you can get a snack bowl attachment from Amazon.
Oodies
Oodies are still as popular as ever and they keep expanding their fandom so there is something for everyone. From Harry Potter, to Disney, to Pokemon, to NRL teams to Barbie, plus their own cute designs. And if your kid already has an original Oodie, check out their dressing downs, sleep wear and new Oodie beach towels. I've got my 11.5 year old a Stitch Oodie towel this year.
Crocs
We may hate them but the kids are OBSESSED! So buying Crocs will get you in the good books. They also love Jibbitz, which are the little charms that clip in to the holes. The official Crocs brand ones can be pricey though so I highly recommend getting them from somewhere like Temu. They are way cheaper and still cute.
White Fox
A teens and tweens gift guide isn't complete without White Fox. Their hoodies and activewear are still super popular with the tweens and teens. They got popular on TikTok and the kids definitely still want them. They have cute activewear shorts and tees too. The rest of their stuff however, is far from teen and tween friendly, so stick to the loungewear section.
Smiley Face Slippers
These smiley face slippers are huge with the kids right now. They all want them. I feel like they are going to be a trend that doesn't last long so I've found them for around$16 on Temu. Perfect stocking stuffer without spending too much.
Frank Green Drink Bottle
Frank Green has won over the world with their ceramic drink bottles. Getting the tween or teen in your life one of these will get you big brownie points! Just a tip - they want the 1000ml (1L ones). My 11 year old tells me they are the only ones that are acceptable. They have cute colours that you can mix and match with the lids, and you get their names engraved on the size.
Peter Alexander Satin Pyjamas
The satin Peter Alexander pyjamas are the only acceptable pair, according to the kids! They have them in kids sizes and adults (Tully is only 11 and in adult sizes) and they come in a range of colours. They also come in a gorgeous gift box that will look so cute under the tree.
Nintendo Switch
The Nintendo Switch is the best console for kids and tweens. The games are family friendly and the console is easy to use. Plus, it can be hand held and plug into the TV. Some of the games that are popular are: Super Mario Bros, Mario Kart, Animal Crossing, Kirby, Super Smash Bros, Zelda, Minecraft and Hogwarts: Legacy. I'd also recommend getting an extra set of controllers so multiple kids can play.
Nike Airforce 1
Everyone of all ages want these, they come in men and woman's sizing and are one of the most popular shoes on the market. Even my 23 year old lives in them. If you want to get your kid a pair of popular shoes, you cant go wrong with these ones. Plus the quality is great. My daughter's have really lasted, even when she was backpacking around the world.
TicketMaster/ Ticketek Gift Card
If you have a kid that loves going to concerts or shows, a ticket gift card is perfect. Then, the next time their favourite performer is in Australia they have the funds to buy the ticket.
Airpods
Airpods are one of the best things I've bought my tween. She's been so responsible with them and they are great for when she's on her iPad or listening to music. They are worth every cent! She has travelled with them overseas and everything and not lost them.
AllKinds Skincare
Tweens are becoming obsessed with skincare, thanks to TikTok, but a lot of the products they want are far too harsh for their young skin. AllKinds is specially formulated for young skin and comes in different ranges, including sensitive skin. It's really popular and the packaging is fun.
Soccer Ball / goals
Thanks to the massive success of the Matildas in the World Cup, kids have gone soccer mad! A soccer ball and pop up goals are perfect gifts for kids of any gender. Go the Tillies!
PlayStation 5
The PlayStation 5 is the hottest game console on the market and it's going to be really popular this Christmas because it was almost unobtainable last Christmas and a lot of people missed out. It's the most current PlayStation console on the market.
Lorna Jane Flash Dance Pants
These pants are a big hit with tween and teen girls. Super comfy and easy to move in, they are active wear that's become day wear.
Gaming Headphones
If you have a gamer - I recommend good, wireless headphones! These headphones are large and comfortable, but also have a built in microphone so they can talk to their friends.
Hopefully this teens and tweens gift guide for Christmas 2023 will help you pick the perfect gift! Let me know if you have any other suggestions in the comments.
