No one really knows what’s cool more than teenagers and they’re not particularly shy about telling you what they like and what they don’t like. That’s why coming up with gift ideas for teens can be so challenging!

Rather than guess what to get the teen in your life, we asked every teenager we know (trust me, that’s a lot of teens) to get the inside track on what’s hot (and what’s not) this holiday 2022 season. We even scoured Tik Tok to find the latest and hottest trends and gift ideas for teens!

To make your life easier, we pulled together 101 cool and unique ideas that teens think are actually pretty cool! We even broke them down by price so you can zero in on gift ideas that fit your budget. 

From the coolest stocking stuffers to the hottest tech gadgets of the season, check out our 101 fun gift ideas for teens they’ll actually like! And, even if you don’t find exactly what you’re looking for, we hope you’ll find plenty of inspiration here!
