How do I choose the right Christmas gift for a 17-year-old girl?
Lots of the best gifts for 17 year olds fall in the fashion and beauty lovers category, so you will find plenty of those in this gift guide. You might even find some of the latest gadgets, products for the gaming enthusiasts, and viral products as well.
We are posting inspiration photos along with several pieces we feature on this list so you can see how it is styled! Please note that these are not images of the exact items listed, but rather are images that we are inspired by, where the model or influencer used similar products.
Teenage girls are great at putting together fashionable looks and make up styles that look amazing not only on social media, but also for any photo album or journal they have.
✨ Slowestuff Tip: Gifts That Feel a Little More Grown-Up
Seventeen is such an in-between age. They still love fun, trendy gifts, but they are also starting to want things they can use for college, work, travel, or just feeling a little more independent. Having the “in” thing is very important, so the right headphones, a great perfume, a quality bag, and a water bottle they’ll actually carry everywhere are amazing gifts. Money tucked into a high-yield savings account isn’t maybe as fun, but is probably the best gift on here. Maybe do that, and give a little something they can open to have the best of both worlds.
What’s trending for teen girls this year (fashion, beauty, tech)?
Some things are trendy and some things are timeless, even for teens. Beauty is always in style, but the trends change. Now it is glowy with cream blush & lip oils. Vanilla scent fragrances are always a good idea. Tech that’s small and useful (AirPods, ribbon printers, Nintendo Switch) continue to be popular with teens.
Gap Hoodie
This is a hot style with the perfect oversized cut for a sweatshirt or crewneck. The light material makes it a dream to wear all year long, as it is perfect to have as a layering piece when it gets cold.
Apple AirPods
Next to a phone, this is the one thing that most teens can’t live without. The latest version is the perfect gift idea, and she will use these daily. In fact, she may never take them out. They are not just for music lovers, but for podcasts or talking on the phone. Can’t go wrong with this gift!
Portable Ribbon Printing Machine
This just scratches our brain perfectly. A portable ribbon printing machine is such a fun gift for someone who loves crafts, decorating, gifting, or making things feel a little more personal. They can print names, messages, designs, or little details right onto ribbon and use it for gift wrapping, birthdays, holidays, parties, scrapbooking, and all kinds of DIY projects.
It is one of those gifts that feels creative and a little unexpected, but is still really practical for someone who is always making or decorating something. Plus, personalized ribbon can make even a simple gift look like you put way more effort into it than you actually did.
Nike Air Force
These exceptionally popular Nike’s are a staple in every Gen Z girl’s wardrobe, and for good reason. They are not just sports items, this is a shoe for the stylish girlies. They go with everything!
Dr. Martens
Long gone are the days that Dr. Martens are counter culture. They are popular among all of your favorite teen sub-cultures, and for that reason, are an amazing gift. They can go from being dressed up for special occasions, to being more gritty with more edgy looks.
Summer Fridays Mini Set
The hottest lip balm that she will love to have.
Digital Camera
Wow! Whats old is new again.
The next generation is heading out with their digital cameras, and we approve! There is something about taking an actual camera out with friends, snapping a million pictures, and then going back through them later that just feels more fun.
This is a great gift for a teen who loves taking pictures, making photo dumps, journals or junk journals, travels, documents everyday life, or just wants that slightly different digital-camera look everyone loves. It is practical, fun, and something she can use for years.
Owala
We all need our emotional support water bottle. Owala is a super popular brand now, and they are cute as well as being well designed. We like this 40 oz version so our girls stay hydrated.
Rhode Pocket Blush
The hottest blush right now is the Rhode Pocket Blush. This brand has taken off recently, and you will find 17 year olds raving about it and how well it gives the perfect glow. Lots of color options too!
AE Vegan Leather Cropped Puffer Jacket
Not only is a puffy jacket an absolute cold weather fashion win – it will also help keep her warm! They are functional as well as fashionable. The fact that it is part of a teen girl’s look means that she will actually wear it when it’s cold out.
Lululemon Tank Top
This is a top that she will wear all year long. It looks amazing in warm weather, plus can be used as a perfect layering piece for fall and winter. It comes in a variety of colors. You cannot go wrong with this little tank top. It will be one of her favorite items!
Nintendo Switch
For the girls that like to game, this little portable gaming device will be one she can take anywhere. Certainly she can take it to college, plus it’s small enough to be able to pop into her bag or backpack and play when she has down time. Whether she likes Zelda, Stardew Valley, Mario Kart, or Animal Crossing, she will love this techie gift.
Band TShirt
The fun thing about this gift idea, is you can get her a shirt with her favorite band – or a “vintage” shirt with your favorite band! Band shirts are not only cool, they can be worn in so many different aesthetics that it is a great gift idea for everyone, whether there are strobe lights or not!
Anua Azelaic Acid Serum for Breakout Control
Breakouts always seem to show up at the worst possible time, so a good serum for breakout-prone skin is actually a pretty great gift. This Anua Azelaic Acid Serum is made to help calm the look of redness, uneven texture, and blemish-prone skin without making the whole routine feel complicated.
It is a nice pick for a teen who is getting more interested in skincare but does not need a 12-step routine. Simple, useful, and something she can easily work into what she is already using.
Books
We always put books on our gift lists, and Sunrise On The Reaping is an amazing one to add to this list.
This is part of The Hunger Games world created by Suzanne Collins. Sunrise On The Reaping is a prequel focused on Haymitch Abernathy. The movie comes out November 2026!
Birkenstock Sandals
These are great on their own, and rock a total vibe when also worn with thick socks. The high-quality materials Birks are made with virtually guarantees this will be a gift she wears for many years to come. If you are looking for the clog style, we have them featured on our list of gift ideas for 18 year old girls, so go check that out at the link!
Little Wireless Lamp
No overhead lights! This adorable light is perfect to tuck on a nightstand or in a corner of a room or dorm room. Rechargeable makes it easy to take it where you want, even in the shower!
Nike Joggers
Definitely one of the top picks in terms of gifts teenage girls love to get – Nike joggers. Dressed up or down, these are staples that they live in all year long.
Eye Masks
We think it is so funny and cute that people are now wearing these regularly with no shame, even on social media! She will love to do a little self care using these.
Cute Iced Coffee Jars – that fit in cup holders!
Iced coffee, boba or matcha are favorite drinks of many 17 year old girls, and these will be so perfect for them in many ways. They will like the glass bottles, the sustainable and reusable lid plus it will fit in their car cup holders! Complete winner in every way!
Keychain Set
A practical yet cute gift for your 17 year old is this keychain set. Pepper spray, sirens, hand sanitizer and bottle openers, it has everything she needs at her fingertips. And you can customize the colors!
Billie Eilish Perfume
Not only is this an amazing cool and beautiful bottle, this perfume smells so good. If your 17 year old is a fan of Billie, she will love it. If she is a fan of vanilla note fragrances, she will love this perfume as well.
Kendra Scott Necklace
A Kendra Scott necklace is one of those gifts that feels a little more special without being overly grown-up. The styles are pretty, easy to wear, and work with everything from school clothes to dresses for events, dinners, or holidays.
It is a great choice for a teen who is starting to build a jewelry collection and wants something she can wear all the time. Pretty, recognizable, and still simple enough that it will not just sit in a jewelry box.
Jellycat
These Jellycat Amuseables Pink and White Marshmallows are SO cute. They are soft, a little weird, and exactly the kind of thing a teen is going to put on her bed, desk, or shelf and absolutely love. The Amuseables line, or all the little food characters, is what is hot right now.
Aerie Quarter Zip
Stylish, comfy and always in season. These are perfect!
Converse
Converse can go with almost all the looks featured on this post, including this simple look. The best part about these sneakers are that these are so versatile, they work both dressed down or dressed up.
Canvas Bag
These crossbody bags go more casual by being made out of a less structured material than leather. They are perfect for walking hands free but keeping things close. Stylish and functional, she will love this!
What if she already has everything? What Can We Get Her?
BONUS IDEA
This idea is a bit out of the norm, so that is why we are thinking of it as a bonus idea.
If none of these gift ideas are working for you, here is a great gift idea for a 17 year old girl – set them up a high yield savings account!
One of the best gifts you can give a young girl is the knowledge and tools that she can use to be financially stable. Starting young is a brilliant idea!
Most regular savings accounts are complete trash when it comes to their interest rates. The money is not working for you at all. They basically just store the money for you, and the money doesn’t grow. A high yield savings account grows your money for you.
A high yield savings account is super easy to set up, and it is used just like a regular savings account. So, as a gift idea, take the money you were going to spend on a gift for the 17 year old, set up the account, deposit the gift money, and let her know that she all set up with an account that will work for her.
Starting a young lady off with a high yield savings account in which she can put money she receives from her birthday, Christmas, or earns from her job, is a great idea, and one that she may not have even thought about.
FAQs: Teen Gift Ideas
Do a little recon! If she still has the tag on her clothes, look at the tag on something she wears constantly (hoodie, jeans, sneakers) when you are doing laundry, or she is out of the house for a bit. Then you can match it to the brand’s size chart. You may have to ask a trusted co-conspirator (parent, sibling, bestie) for intel. If no tags, you can also measure a favorite piece laid flat, pit-to-pit for tops, waist and inseam for jeans. (Pro tip, save these in your phone for later use. You will be surprised at how much you go back and reference them!) Then take those and compare online. When in doubt, choose forgiving fits like oversized crewnecks, joggers with drawstrings, zip hoodies, shackets, puffers, or accessories. If she’s between sizes, size up for outerwear and sweaters; shoes vary by brand, so check notes about running big/small. And always include a gift receipt! Surprises are fun, easy exchanges are kinder.
Yes! Most teens love this! For fragrance, a good option is to go with fragrances put out by their favorite artist. Ariana Grande has a bunch, Lady GaGa, Billie Eilish, these are all good options. You can also look to body wash and lotions in universally loved notes like vanilla, light citrus, or airy florals. We love Saltair Saltwater Vanilla and Phlur Heavy Cream. For skincare, you definitely want to go with fragrance free products. Sensitive skin products are also typically fragrance free, we love this trio from Iliyoon. Another thing to check is products good for acne prone skin. One of our favorites is Arencia for acne prone skin.
Lean into fast-but-personal. E-gifts shine when you attach a tiny “starter pack” note. Spotify playlists, Kindle/Libby recs, game suggestions for a Nintendo gift card. Experience gifts are instant yet memorable: boba credits, nail salon, mini-golf, museum day, a coffee date you’ll take her on. Same-day pickup bundles read curated: a Cozy Kit (fuzzy socks, cocoa, lip mask), a Study Kit (gel pens, highlighters, desk calendar), or a Glam Kit (claw clip, lip oil, simple studs). And if it’s cash, make it cute: tuck it into a glass iced-coffee jar with a note like “first latte’s on me.”
Think calm colors and pieces that earn their keep. Neutrals like black, white, cream, taupe, grey, and soft olive pair beautifully with simple materials like cotton, canvas, stainless steel, glass, light wood. Clothing sweet spots: a ribbed neutral crewneck, straight-leg jeans, black/white sneakers, a simple canvas crossbody, a beanie, and delicate layered necklaces in gold or silver. For room/desk, try a soft-glow lamp, a stainless water bottle, acrylic organizers, or a wireless charging tray. Low-clutter wins (experiences or a capsule-wardrobe gift card with a tiny styling note) are very on-brand. Bonus points for wrapping in kraft paper with twine and a handwritten tag. Minimalist outside to match the gift inside.
