Teen Girl Gift Guide

Hey everyone! As some of you may know, last month was my 16th birthday, and leading up to my birthday I had lots of lovely friends and family asking me what presents I'd like. All year round I have stuff on my wishlist, but suddenly I couldn't think of anything (typical!), and I know that other people often have the same problem. So for today's post I thought I'd make a little gift guide of things you could get teenage girls for their birthday (or any other celebration). The things on this list vary in price, so hopefully this will be helpful for anyone who's stuck with what to ask for/give. *Note: this is called a 'teen gift guide', but that's just the general title... these items could be appealing to people of any age/gender identity.* This post is a collab with Silhouette London, who gifted me a few items, but this is not an ad and as always, all opinions are my own.

Candles

Candles are such a great gift to get someone if you're not sure what they'd like, as in most cases you can't go wrong with a nice candle. Silhouette London currently sell two on their website; I picked out the Summer Picnic one and it smells incredible (and it's pink so looks super cute as well)!! The candles are £10 each so definitely more on the affordable side of the gifting spectrum.

Jewellery

Jewellery is such a classic present; whether it be earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings or anklets. From Silhouette London, I picked out an earcuff (which is basically like a cartilage hoop, but you don't need the piercing to be able to wear it... perfect for anyone without a cartilage piercing who still wants the look of one) and also the most sparkly earrings everrr! They're called the Shamballa Ball Crystal Earrings and they are a gorgeous icy blue colour.

Clothing

Now, clothes are always more of a risky one when it comes to gift-giving because of sizing and taste, but if you know the person you're buying for well, then they can make perfect presents. Silhouette London specialise in prom, occasion and bridesmaid dresses, but they do also have a lovely range of casual wear. I picked out the Ditsy Daisy Mini Dress and it's definitely going to be my go-to dress for this summer... the design is so pretty and the quality is really good. I also really like the look of the White Broderie Anglais Dress and the Frayed Blue Denim Skirt. You can check out the whole 'Teens Relaxed Party Style' range here.

Bath bombs

This is a gift idea I wish I'd thought of before my birthday as bath bombs are just so much fun!! I love the look of Silhouette's watercolour set.

Skincare items

I love receiving skincare items, so I couldn't compile a gift guide without mentioning some!! My favourite products which I think would make good presents are the Clinique Moisture Surge  (a pricier product) and the Mario Badescu rosewater spray (more affordable, so great if you're on a tight budget).

Moon mirror

I think mirrors which are cool shapes are a super fun way to spice up a room, so this moon mirror from Amazon could be a great gift for a teen girl. Room decor in general is such a thoughtful gift, so you could also look at getting them LED lights, prints, blankets or plants.

Phone cases

I love getting new phone cases and switching them around to fit with my outfit. I really like Caseable cases (*I have had two previously gifted to me*) as they're so pretty and protective. My favourite of theirs is the Daisy Chain case.

So that's the end of my teen gift guide! I hope you all enjoyed this post and some of you hopefully found it useful?! What's on your wishlist at the moment? Remember to go and check out the amazing Silhouette London. Thanks for reading!
