Product Reviews

Here are our top gift suggestions for girls of varying interests.

LapGear Lap Desk With Phone Holder

Functional And Fabulous

Not just for laptops, this lap desk has a spacious and smooth working surface on which you can set your laptop or notebook and a slot in which you can stand your phone or tablet.

The soft underside is filled with tiny foam beads that mold to the contours of the surface on which it sits. This makes it exceptionally comfortable on your lap but equally usable on your bed or floor.


Unstable Unicorns Card Game

Strategic Fun and Games

The goal of Unstable Unicorns is to build an army of seven unicorns while the other players try to do the same. Although this may sound simple, you are also up against your fellow players who, like you, have the opportunity to commit sabotage.

A more strategic game than the equally popular Exploding Kittens, Unstable Unicorns can be played with this base pack alone or with the addition of any of the eight expansion packs.


Gym Bag with Wet Pocket

Versatility With Handles

Whether she is a player of team sports, a regular at the gym, or just a fan of the weekend trip, your 15-year-old girl is likely to appreciate this sports bag. It’s also a good size for a night or two away at friends’ houses.

With a wet pocket and a separate shoe compartment, there’s little chance of wet towels or muddy shoes spoiling the rest of the bag’s contents. The shoulder strap is fully adjustable, making it comfortable for girls of any height.


Mezcla Luxury Reversible Throw

A Throw For All

Pre-washed and pre-shrunk, this high-quality quilted throw from Exclusivo is reversible, lightweight, and extraordinarily comfortable.

You can choose from a variety of vibrant color and pattern combinations, so there’s bound to be something in the recipient’s favorite colors or to coordinate with her room. They are machine washable and can be tumbled dry, and, because of the pre-treatments, the colors won’t fade either.


Thread Slim Minimalist Wallets

Minimalist Money Holders

The Thread wallet holds as few as one or as many as eight cards and a little foldable cash on a keyring fixture. Your teen won’t need to carry a bag or even a bulkier wallet with them anymore.

These are especially useful if you are playing sports or enjoying another activity where you don’t want to be weighed down with too much to carry.


Personalized Leather Journal

Multiple Options

Whether it’s for journaling, taking notes in class, or plotting world domination, this personalized leather-look journal is a good place to record those vital pieces of information.

You can choose from seven designs and nine colors, then add up to three lines of personalization. The pages are lined, and the journal is a practical 8 x 5 inches.


Stackable Make-Up Organizer

The Gift Of Organization

With a large open area at the top for taller products, two smaller drawers, one double depth drawer, and a trio of segmented slots, this make-up organizer is designed for a variety of products and accessories.

The organizer also comes apart so you can stack the two pieces or use them side by side, depending on your needs and the space available.


Sloth Earrings

Slow Lobes

These sterling silver sloth earrings are not only cute, but they are also nickel-free and hypoallergenic. There is a matching pendant available, and if a sloth laying on a branch isn’t what you are looking for, there’s also a sloth sitting on a branch option.

The earrings come in a pretty and stylish silver and white presentation box.


Roku Streaming Stick+

Voice-Controlled Entertainment

Plug in the Roku+, link it to your TV via the HDMI cable in the box, connect to the internet, and you can start streaming a wide range of free TV and all your favorite YouTube channels. You can also get the most popular paid streaming services such as Netflix.

The Roku+ comes with three free months of Apple TV, although you don’t have to sign up, and there’s a remote with a voice control option.


Arctic Paw Cable Knit Beanie

Warm And Cute

This handcrafted, cable knit beanie has a warm, snug fleece lining to ensure your head stays toastie no matter what the weather.

The pom-poms are made of faux fur. The hat is machine washable, although the pom poms do need a little re-fluffing afterward with a hair dryer to bring them back to their like-new state.


GTRacing Gaming Chair

Style And Comfort

It doesn’t matter whether your 15-year-old is an avid gamer, a passionate coder, or a budding streamer; this is an excellent chair for her.

The ergonomic design features a strong metal frame, firm padding, and a washable faux leather cover, as well as removable lumbar and head support pillows. The seat and arm heights are adjustable, and the back can be set to 90, 130, or 170 degrees. The chair can also rock.


EcoTools Jade Roller Set

On-Trend And On Your Face

Face rollers are everywhere right now, but we particularly like this one from EcoTools. The PETA certified 100 percent cruelty-free, vegan company uses renewable bamboo for their handles and tree-free paper for their packaging.

Plus, any metal or plastic used in the products or packaging is 100 percent recycled.

The jade roller can be used from the refrigerator for depuffing, or you can run it under warm water before use to open up your pores. There’s also a matching roller for the delicate skin under the eyes.


Modern Witch Tarot Deck

Ancient Meets Modern

For those interested in Tarot, the Modern Witch deck, illustrated by Lisa Serle, is a sophisticated combination of the traditional Rider-Waite-Smith style of Tarot card. It has a youthful range, diverse, modern characters, and modern-day items your teen may love.

The deck comes in a coordinating storage box and a hardback pocket instructional guide for beginners.


Ugg Fluff Yeah Slide Slipper

Slippers With Attitude

Slippers used to be a boring gift, but not anymore. These fabulously fluffy foot slides from UGG are so comfortable you’ll never want to leave the house if it means taking them off.

The molded rubber underside supports the thick, lightweight, sheepskin encased platform sole and upper. Meanwhile, the woven UGG branded elastic strap at the back keeps them snug against your feet.


YMX Boxing Reflex Ball on String

Solo Fun

Athletically inclined but want to train on your own? This is an awesome gift. It’s a boxing ball on a string. She can practice boxing skills while improving hand/eye coordination. If she’s into boxing, then this is a great activity to keep her busy and entertained while decreasing stress levels.

There are two difficulty levels. Start with the yellow ball as it’s slower, and then work your way up to the red one which is much quicker.


Woolbuddy Felting Kit

Craftily Cute

You’re never too old to enjoy a craft kit, and this felting set from Woolbuddy contains everything you need to try your hand at the recently revived art of felting.

The set contains a foam block, six needles, finger protectors, 16 bundles of hypoallergenic wool, each in a different color, and instructions for a variety of finished items. There are enough supplies to make six or seven “buddies,” each about three inches tall.


Movo Desk Ring Light

Light It Up

There are plenty of selfie and streaming ring lights available, but most of them have a bulky tripod that takes up room both in use and to store.

This compact model has a mounting clip that can be affixed to the edge of a table, deck, or even a book. It also has a holder for your phone and an accessory mount with a microphone.

There are ten brightness levels and three colors of light. The light, microphone, and phone holder are all on bendable necks, making this the most flexible light we’ve used.


Make Em Laugh I'm Not Arguing

LOL

Made in Texas, these solid wood signs are printed with durable water-based inks, rather than the cheap offcuts and vinyl letter examples you may find elsewhere.

Great for any teenager’s door or wall, these signs are three-fourths of an inch thick, so they will also stand up on a desk. There are a variety of funny slogans from which to choose.


Maxmoda Pajama Set

Relax In Comfort

These soft pajama sets feature a short-sleeved top and capri length pants with pockets, making them look as good as they feel.

They are available in 12 pattern and color combinations. They are cute enough to be appealing to most girls, but adult enough not to be childish, which makes them a winner in our book.


Tulip One-Step Tie-Dye Kit

Make Your Own

Tie-dye has made a comeback, and it’s likely there’s a tie-dye item your girl has her eye on.

Rather than choose just one item or risk selecting the wrong one, why not consider this kit from Tulip? With 18 squeeze bottles of non-toxic, highly concentrated dye, six pairs of gloves, a massive bundle of elastics, and a project guide, there’s no end to what she can create.


Blue Yeti USB Mic

Retro Style

This chic and classy microphone from Blue combines the early 20th century’s style aesthetic with the tech of the early 21st. The result is the Yeti USB microphone with four pick-up patterns. Ideal for streamers, your teen can use it for YouTube, podcasts, conference calls, or anytime she needs a microphone.


Creative Cute 3D Night Light

A Nightlight For Adults

As we greet adulthood, some of us still feel the need for the comfort of a night light. The trouble is, there are endless options for smaller kids or for nightlight speakers, but there are few items out there for anyone else.

That’s why we adore these 3D nightlights from Creative Cute. Choose from the four musical instruments or a musical note, all of which are etched in acrylic and mounted in a smooth wooden cube frame.


Unicorn Snot Holographic Body Glitter Gel

On Trend

Help your teen shimmer her way through whatever she wants to do with Unicorn Snot, the 100 percent vegan, cruelty-free, body glitter gel.

This pack comes with five jars of the easy to apply body glitter that doesn’t require primers or any special skin preparation and application. Instead, dip your fingertip in the pot, rub the gel on your face or body, although not on or near your eyes, and you’re ready to sparkle.

A little goes a long way, and the gel stays in place for hours, coming off again with make-up remover or something similar.


Pineapple String Art Kit

Wake Up Your Wall

Just because your teen can see the end of her school years on the horizon doesn’t mean she won’t still enjoy some of the staples of school crafts. Updated for the grown-ups, of course.

These string art kits from RM Studio come with a variety of images, all of which would wake up the wall in any teen bedroom. They contain everything she needs, from a template to the frame and mounting gear, so she can create, complete, and display without the need for additional supplies.


Anker 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station

Avoid Outlet Overload

This charging station lets you set your phone down on the support for wireless charging, plus you plug two other charging base stations.

This way, you can forget about getting down on your knees and fumbling around, trying to find an outlet you can’t see. And say goodbye to those moments when you realize you have to charge three items, but you only have two outlets available.


FlipBelt

Actively Equipped

Whether your teen is at the gym, out for a run, or babysitting, she may need a way to carry her essentials without weighing herself down.

The FlipBelt has multiple pockets, without zippers or buckles, so she can carry her phone, ID card, earbuds, or anything else she might need without having to take along a bag.

Flexible, machine washable, and available in nine colors, the Flipbelt is a wonderful gift for the active teen.


SweatyRocks Women's Long Sleeve Hoodie

No Slouch

This casual and cute long sleeve hoodie from SweatyRocks is ideal for working out, dozing on the bed, and everything in between.

The soft cotton fabric is warm enough for a fall afternoon, and the drawstring hood will keep out those occasional blasts of cold air. Or, if you have a teen that’s like we were, they can use it to hide from the world.


Vekkia Reading Pillow

Relaxation Redefined

The Vekkia reading pillow is a thoughtful and practical gift that provides support for your back to stop you from slouching. It has side supports for your arms, which is vital for those long hours holding up a book.

There’s a pocket for the remote, so you don’t have to worry about changing your background music. The removable cover is machine washable, which is a crucial feature for readers who fall asleep and spill their drink. In addition, there’s another version with neck support.

This pillow is also excellent for gaming, especially if you don’t have room for a chair.


Razer Kraken Gaming Headset

Quality Sound

Excellent sound quality, gel-infused ear cushions to prevent heat build-up, and inline audio controls make this headset the ideal gift for the teen who wants high-quality audio and comfort all rolled into one.

The retractable microphone reduces background noise, and the optional stand keeps the headphones close on hand while providing a place to connect and charge three USB devices.


Amazon Gift Card

Anything You Want

There are times when no matter how hard you try, you don’t know what the best gift for your 15-year-old girl will be. Either that or you have so many options that you’re unsure about which one would be best.

On those occasions, a gift card can be the safest choice. And if you worry that it looks like you don’t care, or couldn’t be bothered, choose a physical card in a cute holder that will at least feel like a gift.


Acer Chromebook Spin

Electronic Flexibility

If a decent quality laptop isn’t in the budget, or if you want a larger format, lightweight way to stay on top of school work, a chromebook is an excellent option.

This one from Acer has everything your teen might need for online learning, games, social, and communications. They’ll also have the option to switch back and forth between a laptop or a tablet, depending on their mood and needs.


Snark SN5X Clip-On Tuner

Musician’s Friend

This clip-on tuner from Snark is not only easy to use, but it’s also practical.

The fact and accurate processor, combined with the large, clear display, makes tuning your guitar, violin, or bass a breeze. Meanwhile, the tap tempo metronome means you will be able to stay on time as well as in tune.

The only danger is you may be tempted to detune your instrument so that you can use it over and over.


Azul The Board Game

Beautiful Strategy

Azul is a quick and simple game to learn, but that doesn’t mean it is not a challenge to play. Players must place tiles on the board to score points, but that explanation fails to convey the tension and drama of a game that can get pretty cut-throat as you approach the end.

The tiles themselves are beautiful, and the game has a high-quality feel to it, which is a bonus for a gift.


Navaris Hexagonal Felt Notice Board

Take Notice

While corkboards and whiteboards are practical, they can make a bedroom feel more like an office than a personal space in which you can relax. That’s why we love this hexagonal felt notice board.

You get six hexagons of felt with adhesive backing, and you can place them how you like on your wall. The tiles come with a box of color-coordinating pins, and the final product is almost too good to cover up with notes.


Kony Novelty Low Cut Sneakers Socks

Warm Toes, Cool Feet

This super cute multi-pack from Kony has five pairs of soft, comfortable, durable socks that will keep your toes toasty while raising a smile. We’ve had ours for a couple of years, and even though they are worn regularly, they are still in excellent shape.

The pack contains five pairs of socks featuring a sneaker-patterned design which is unique and will surely paint a smile on your face.


Wacom Wireless Graphics Drawing Tablet

Art Meets Tech

This drawing tablet can be connected either by USB or wirelessly via Bluetooth to your PC or MAC, making it an option for any teen, no matter what their favored hardware or operating system is.

The pen is battery-free and never needs charging. The pad has 4,096 levels of pressure sensitivity, and there are three programable “express” keys to make your favorite shortcuts even faster.


ProsourceFit Wooden Balance Board

Core And Balance

A balance board can help you strengthen your core, stretch your muscles, and improve your levels of stability and body awareness. This makes it an excellent choice for athletes of all kinds and teens who want to enhance their general physical strength.

The wooden board has grippy, non-slip strips on the upper surface, and the “ball” on the underside is non-marking rubber. It weighs three pounds in total, so it’s easy to transport and small enough to store on a shelf or under the bed.


Candle Gift Set

Pretty Smelly

Fragranced candles are popular with many teens, and this set of four is a particularly pretty potential gift.

One each of lemon, lavender, fig, and spring, these candles are smokeless, made from 100 percent soy wax, and set within mandala decorated, lidded tins.

There are also two other four-tin gift box options as well as a duo of candles in tiny tin buckets and a six-pack of candles in glass holders.


Shany All In One Harmony Makeup Kit

All Around Winner

Buying make-up for someone else can be extremely tricky, especially if you can’t get a good look at the products they currently use. The Harmony make-up kit from Shany has 168 eye shadows, so she’s sure to get use out of a good number of them.

There are also six lip glosses and a range of brushes and sponges, as well as a mirror and a guarantee that all items are cruelty-free.


The Vlogger's Handbook

Always Helpful

The Vlogger’s Handbook is a must-have tome for every would-be or budding vlogger, as well as having plenty of helpful information for bloggers, YouTubers, and podcasters.

There’s advice about subject matter, the technical aspects of vlogging, scheduling, social media, and building an audience. Throughout the book, there are question and answer sections featuring successful vloggers who share their experiences so you can avoid their mistakes.


Dancing Bear Crystals Kit

A New Age Alternative

If your teen is interested in alternative therapies or aspects of non-mainstream lifestyles and beliefs, they may appreciate the Dancing Bear crystals kit.

There are seven smooth, tumbled crystals and seven rough crystals, as well as a handmade, up-cycled silk drawstring bag in which to keep your smooth crystals. A Chakra chart and crystal guide are included, and the company assembles the kits at their facility in Oregon.


Cooluli Mini Fridge

For The Belly And The Skin

This cute and functional 4-liter mini-fridge weighs just four pounds and has both AC and DC power cords. It also has a USB option should you want to use it away from home.

Inside there’s one removable shelf and a pocket in the door, and it’s big enough for a standard soda can, a good-sized yogurt container, and some snacks. Alternatively, you can use it to store temperature-sensitive cosmetics, or medications, or a combination of all three.


Big Sis & Lil Sis Pendants

From The Heart

It can be especially tricky to choose your sister’s gift, particularly if you are gifting on a tight budget. That’s why we adore this Big Sis & Little Sis pendant combo.

Made from stainless steel, each pendant is half of a heart, one each for a big sister and her little counterpart. The chains are also stainless steel and are 17 inches long with a lobster clasp. There’s also a pair of two-inch extension pieces for those who need a longer chain.


JBL Flip 5 Bluetooth Speaker

Music Everywhere

This on-trend speaker from JBL has the premium audio quality you expect from the company as well as a 12-hour run time. You also have the ability to pair two speakers, should your friend have one, for stereo entertainment.

The speaker is waterproof, comes in 11 vibrant colors, and connects to your device via Bluetooth.


Modda Jewelry Making Kit

Wear Your Creativity

For crafty teens, this beginners’ jewelry-making kit from MODDA contains everything you might need to begin making your own unique necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and more.

There are various findings, a wide range of beads in multiple colors and shapes, charms, wires, six tools, and a towel on which to work. All of this fits into a three-level toolbox with a handle. It also comes with an instruction booklet, and there is a series of free online tutorial videos.


Canon EOS Video Creator Kit

Quality Sound And Images

The compact Canon EOS M50 allows your teen to capture the world around them in brilliant 4K UHD and crystal clear sound.

The automatic tracking keeps your subject in sharp focus as they move around the wide autofocus area, and you can share your content quickly with the built-in wi-fi or Bluetooth connection.

This Creator kit includes a high-grade microphone and the EOS utility webcam software, so you have an excellent still camera, a webcam, and a live-action camera all in one.


Burn After Writing

Your Secret’s Safe

Written for today’s teen and those of us who were teens yesterday, Burn After Writing is a guided journal designed to help you stop scrolling through everyone else’s life and focus on your own.

Think of it as a book-long interview with yourself where you’ll discover things you didn’t know existed, share thoughts you didn’t know how to articulate, and learn how to embrace who and what you are.


Dr. Martens Women's 1460 Vonda

Masculine Femininity

Dr. Martens are known for their iconic leather, lace-up, rubber-soled boots with a script stitched product label at the sculpted heel and the distinctive yellow stitching.

This particular pair has a cascade of four roses on the outside, and a singular embroidered rose near each toe. The AirWair™ air-cushioned sole is oil, slip, and abrasion-resistant, and the fabric laces criss-cross through two rows of eight eyelets.


Squishmallow Austin The Avocado

One Of Many

Teens and former teens the world over are rushing to get their hands on each new round of Squishmallows, the soft and squishy stuffy toy with the low-key personality.

This particular version is from the fruit and vegetable lines, which also features, among others, a pineapple, a strawberry, and an orange.

A word of warning, Squishmallow owners appear to become addicted to these cute and cuddly characters and may want more and more of them. A “friend” bought our daughter one a few years ago, and she’s now up to her 36th one.


Escape Room In A Box

An Event In A Box

Mattel has brought the popular concept of escape rooms into the home with three different escape rooms in a box that require communication and collaboration.

The Werewolf Experiment requires participants to solve 19 puzzles before a mad scientist has the chance to turn them into werewolves. The AMC The Walking Dead edition gives you 90 minutes to break INTO a room before the zombies catch up with you.

If you have Alexa, you can also link up with her to time you, provide clues or play a curated spooky soundtrack in the background.

What Should I Get a 15-Year-Old Girl for Her Birthday?

If you don’t know what to buy for a 15-year-old girl, try asking her about what she’s been up to, her plans for the next few weeks, and what her friends are into. That might give you a good starting point.

Also, take note of the brands she likes, the sports she enjoys, and the electronics she has. These are an excellent starting point for selecting a gift but beware. If you are going to choose a phone case, a video game, or something similar, ensure your choice is compatible with the items she owns.

If you are still coming up short after a few chats and some careful questioning, think about her general personality and interests. Use that knowledge when you are checking our list of suggestions.

If you absolutely can’t figure out something she’d like or can’t find a gift with the wow factor you’re looking for, you can always opt for gift cards. That will allow her to buy exactly what she wants.


Given With Love

It’s hard to go too wrong when you give a gift with thought and love behind it. While we all want to give something the recipient will appreciate and enjoy, the best gift for a 15 year-old-girl will always be one you give from the heart.
