According to TikTok, These Are the Best Gifts for Teenagers
Teenagers are exceptionally terrifying creatures. They are both confused and cool: even when they have difficulty understanding who they are as individuals, they have no problem identifying the intricacies of popular culture. Simply put, they know what it is, but we don’t. If you need to buy one this holiday season, here’s a guide to what’s the coolest thing in their world that is, at least in part, happening on TikTok.
Gifts for a teenager’s bedroom
A teenager’s room is a refuge. They don’t have their own home, but they have their own space, and this space is very important to them. This is what they want for this sacred place:
-
Tabletop vacuums are very popular, and teens spend a lot of time on them: studying, playing, rolling a joint, etc. This mini vacuum from Odistar ($9.98) will pick up all the crumbs your teen produces.
-
LED strips have been popular for a long time, but they remain relevant even after several years. If you’re buying something for a teen, be sure to get ones that sync with a smartphone so you can easily change colors, like this 100-foot set from Ksipze ($12.99).
-
Unique lamps are also still in fashion. You can try this galaxy effect projector ($39.99), the viral sunset lamp projector ($18.99), or this moon-like ball projector ($24.99).
-
Search TikTok for “birthday candle” and try to convince yourself that teenagers don’t like those things. You can’t convince yourself of this, so it looks like you’re going to spend $50 on a candle with her birthday written on it .
-
Watching movies is an established teenage pastime. Watching them explode huge on the wall is a new twist that is quite popular. This AuKing projector ($69.99) is going to be a hit.
Gifts for a teenager’s well-being
Everyone needs self-care, including teenagers who only have a few years of lifelong pressure to look presentable to the world. Help them achieve that—or just relax a little—with these gifts.

We’re getting a little meta here, because while all of these gifts are popular on social media, this one is designed for social media: The TikTok Remote Ring ($19.99) offers hands-free scrolling, as well as the ability to take videos from far away.
