So many of you have asked for this teen and tween gift guide again this year. Many of my 2023 things are still on the kid's gift lists so feel free to shop from there as well. I've surveyed the tweens and teens (boys and girls) that I know, plus done some online research as well. I hope this helps!

Girls

I've kept this pretty general, not really catering to specific sports or hobbies, more focused on trends etc than specifics.

Drink bottles

Owala Drink Bottle

These are one of the hottest drink bottles of the moment. Apparently when you open the lid and drink from it you look like a koala lol.

SCNT Water Bottle

These water bottles use a scent pod on the top to trick your brain into thinking it's drinking flavoured water. You can get all different scents that apparently make it taste like you are drinking different flavours.

Clothes

Pink Palm Puff Hoodie

Move over White Fox! Pink Palm Hoodies are the new kid on the block. They have a beachie vibe and come in light pink and powder blue.

Supre Malia Sweat Shorts

Apparently these are what the girls are wearing this summer when it comes to shorts. Comfort and oversize is still very much in style this summer.

Strapless hibiscus tops

I'm feeling haunted by the early 2000's but apparently this style of strapless top is back in again. You can get this one at City Beach.

Nike Pro Bike Shorts

It seems that the fashion is either early 2000's low cut shorts and singlet/strapless tops like you're straight out of One Tree Hill or a Britney video, or oversized athleisurewear. Apparently these are highly coveted on the athleisure side of things.

Shoes

Reebok Club C 85

Reeboks are back! I support this because all I wanted in the 80's was a pair of Reeboks and instead I got Apple Pies from Kmart. I haven't forgotten! Club C 85 are the ones apparently. You can get them in different shades and the cheapest place is the Reebok website. I've linked below. I might just buy myself a pair...

Adidas Gazelle sneakers

Apparently this style of shoe is in too! It's what the kids tell me! They also like the Spezial, the Campus and the Samba as well. TBH all these shoes look the same to me but what do I know!

Birkenstocks

These have been around forever but made a comeback with the tweens and teens!

Ugg Boots

Aussie staples the good old Ugg Boot are still in high demand. Teens are still keen for them! They are looking for the higher boot style over the slipper/low cut style.

Beauty

Makeup Fridge

Apparently makeup products need to be refrigerated in tiny fridges these days? They can no longer just be scattered around the bedroom. I've been asked for one of these.

AllKinds

This is the only repeat product on my list that was on last year's and that's because it's really the only product manufacture for kids' skin. They dont need Retinol - it doesnt matter what they see on Tik Tok. AllKinds has launched a 50+ Sun Safe range and Tully will be getting this for Christmas.

Sol De Janeiro Bum Bum Jet Set

This is a mini pack of the Tik Tok cult skincare Sol De Janeiro Bum Bum products. No idea why it's called that but it's a 'must have' apparently.

Laniege Midnight Minis

These are mini sleep lip masks in different flavours. They come in Berry, Mango, Gummy Bear, Peach Iced Tea and Watermelon Pop. They are Tik Tok viral apparently!

Ariana Grande Perfume

The perfume every teen and tween wants apparently! It comes in pink and blue.

Summer Fridays Lip Oil

Another Tik Tok viral product! It comes in a variety of shades as well.

Jewellery

Name Necklace

I got Tully this last year and she still wears it every day. I got gold and it's not tarnished at all.

Pandora Charms

Pandora has been around for years but the charms are still as popular as ever. Tully loves them too.

Boys

Sorry if this isn't as extensive but boys are harder. They tend to have very specific interests around things like sport, music, outdoor activities, film etc. It makes it harder to to a general list. But here are some things for you.

Nike Shoes

Nike Airforce 1 are still a really popular shoe. You can't go wrong with them.

EB Games/ Zing Voucher

If you have a kid that loves gaming then an EB Games voucher is a no brainer. They can pick from games or pop culture merch.

Nike Shorts

These shorts are popular with most guys. You cant really go wrong with Nike. Its a classic brand.

Wallet

A wallet is a great gift for teen boys. I really like this one from Billabong. It's classic and classy.

FC25 Video Game

If your son is a soccer fan the hottest game on their Christmas list is FC25!

Silver Chain

Silver chains are popular with the teen boys at the moment. This one is very reasonably priced so you don't spend a fortune on something that may be a short fad.

Sam and Jo Skincare Kit

Its not just the girls who are caring about skincare these days. Tween and teen boys are seeing it as important too. This set teaches them to clean, moisturise and provides a 50+ sunscreen. Its specially made for teen skin as well.

For everyone

Here are a few things for anyone!

E-Bike

The Dirodi fat tyre retro e-bike is the number one e-bike the kids want. These are hugely popular with teens in my area. They come with a big price tag but they are really the only ones I see teens riding here.

A Drone

Who doesn't want a drone? This is on the more affordable end of the spectrum but can be used for drone photography.

I hope this teen and tween gift guide makes your Christmas shopping so much easier!
