Best Teenager Christmas Gift Ideas 2025: Gifts For Every Type Of Teen

We hope you love the products we recommend! All of them were independently selected by our editors. Just so you know, HuffPost UK may collect a share of sales or other compensation from the links on this page if you decide to shop from them. Oh, and FYI — prices are accurate and items in stock as of time of publication.The older kids get, the harder they are to buy for (in my opinion).Those who were once happy with any toy from the Argos catalogue are now all grown up and – well – their interests are changing fast.If there’s a teenager (or even a tween) in your life who you need to buy for this Christmas, but have absolutely no idea where to start, we’re here to offer up some gift ideas that are guaranteed to put a smile (or at the very least, a hint of one) on their face.From games that’ll have them in hysterics when they play with their mates, to gadgets they won’t want to put down, here’s our pick for the teen in your life.Happy shopping! 1. Adidas Dream Glaze scentWith over 800 reviews on Boots and an average 4.4/5 star rating, this £13 hair and body mist from Adidas is loved for its “sweet and chocolatey” scent (perfect for tweens and teens) which “gives that fresh out of the shower vibe that lasts a few hours”. 2. Long hot water bottleIf your teen’s inherited your old hot water bottle, you might want to check the expiry date (a general rule of thumb is to chuck them out after two years). This luxe-looking long water bottle is perfect for warming perpetually cold bodies, easing period pain or post-sports aches. And at £14 from Dunelm, it’s a bargain. 3. Care Bears secret diaryColourful Care Bears are having their day (again) and if your tween or teen’s on board with all things nostalgia, this secret diary, which handily doubles up as a crystal art craft project, is a must-buy. At £12.99 from Craft Buddy it won’t eat into your budget much, either. 4. Lego Nike Dunk setFans of Nike’s iconic Dunks can now recreate their favourite footwear with Lego (price: £89.99). This set is guaranteed to keep them busy for hours over Christmas thanks to the 1,180 individual pieces involved. This review on Lego’s site suggests there are some surprises in store for builders, too: “I preordered the Nike Dunk LEGO Set and had no idea that the basketball spins and there’s secret compartments in the shoe! So cool!”5. Human Controller gameThis game was one of the stand-out products at Christmas gift shows this year – one human wears the headset (which acts as a blindfold and command module), then someone else controls the headset and tells the wearer what they have to do.There are 30 hilarious challenges – one of which involves ‘laying an egg’ by dropping an object over a target. Human Controller (£35 from The Entertainer) is guaranteed to get a laugh out of them when they play with family over Christmas, or with their mates throughout the year. 6. Karaoke machineThis is a great gadget for teens to use – they simply connect their phone, load their fave karaoke videos and start singing. The wireless microphones are rechargeable (via handy docks) and, according to a five-star review from Indy Best, the sound quality is also “really impressive”. At £69 on Amazon, it’s well-priced, too.7. Fidget penThe perfect stocking filler for anyone who’s constantly fidgeting or moving about – this pen dismantles and can be made into all sorts of creations. And at £10.39 on Amazon, it won’t break the bank either.8. Laneige lip balm setThese glowy lip minis come in a selection of scents teens will adore, including berry, vanilla, blueberry and sweet candy. Each mini is enriched with shea butter and murumuru butter to help relieve dry lips – and, bonus, if you buy it from Boots (£22), you can earn Advantage points too! 9. Strikesphere Soccer DashBudding footballers can take their skills to the next level with this smart, interactive football trainer (£49.87 from Amazon) that uses adaptive AI and sensor technology to build confidence, sharpen skills, and deliver an immersive training experience. Teens can play solo, head-to-head or do in-team challenges. Just be warned, you might not see them for hours after they’ve opened this.10. Fuggler keyringsForget Labubus for a sec, the utterly hideous creations that are Fugglers have been immortalised in keyring form (£4) – and tweens and teens are about to become obsessed. 11. Spin-fessions gameA party game of “confessions, lies and total embarrassment” – aka the secret to a very memorable Christmas. Players spin the wheel for prompts, write stories, use cards, and vote for the best story. Grab it for £24.99 from Amazon.12. Topshop’s iconic blanket scarfTopshop’s back baby, and its collection is better than ever – these huge blanket scarves are the perfect gifts for teens who are constantly cold. We love the butter yellow version (£25 via ASOS). 13. Hitster Guilty PleasuresTeen music buffs will enjoy this songs-based quiz game with multiple game modes: guess the release years, artists, and titles to construct musical timelines and flaunt your musical knowledge. One reviewer described it as “the best music game ever” and added “all of our friends and family love it”. Grab yours for £22.99 from Amazon.14. Anker Nano power bankThey’ll never be able to blame their battery dying on them not messaging you back. This USB-C power bank (£39.99 from Anker) charges fast and is nice and compact so they can carry it around – either in their pocket or bag.15. Oodie puffer jacketFans of the oodie, a cosy fleece-lined blanket-hoodie, will love the brand’s foray into puffer jackets. They’re fully reversible, complete with pockets on both sides, so it’s like buying two jackets for the price of one; one fluffy, one nylon. It comes in 12 different colour combos, including the fetching leopard print number below. And bonus, it’s now just £71.40 in the sale.Related...7 Kids' Advent Calendars That Have No Business Being This FunSoap And Glory 24-Day 2025 Advent Calendar Review: Is It Worth The Money?Instagram's Now 'PG-13 Rated' For Teens – But What Does That Actually Mean?
