Teenagers have a reputation of being hard to shop for, but we actually had a pretty easy time finding 50 non-toxic, stylish, and genuinely cool gifts we think tweens and older will actually use.

You’ll find options starting at just three bucks, so there’s something for every budget here. Some of these items are offered in our online markeplace, and if not we’ve included links to purchase. In some cases, we may earn a commission for the referral, but the price is always the same for you.

Thank you for supporting our curated marketplace as well we the brands we love! (Our Amazon storefront has even more ideas).
