| My 15 yo DD would love a gift card to Sephora. $25 can get you a tower 18 lip jelly and some sheet masks…priorities!! |
It would have felt so weird to be as a teen to get a gift of make up or skin care store gift card from a boy. Did he notice my zit? I vote for something more neutral like Target. She can still use it on makeup or skin care if she wants. |
It’s fortunate this gift isn’t for you then, isn’t it. I prefer giving real gifts to gift cards, but I also remember being a teen with limited funds and really loving getting them. Go with the gift card. |
| Starbucks gift card and cute tumbler (not a Stanley; those are like $50 |

Just had a White Elephant and the Starbucks gift card was the most sought after gift.
Go with gift cards. This age loves them. |
Agree. Clutter in a drawer. Never used |
Agree. No Lulus, Starbucks, Ulta…that screams my mom got this for you |
And she assumes you are basic |
Yup, there's gotta be something unique that she's into that's kind of silly. Even if its something like SpongeBob pajama pants. |
I got all the teens and college kids one of these bottles in various colors so they could trade with their sibs and cousins: https://owalalife.com/products/freesip?variant=43048895283359 |
Must be nice to have so much money that you think a GC is clutter. |
This is super cute and not weird coming from a boy, unlike some of these other suggestions (Sephora, Ulta etc) also like Target + candy. |
Many people dont end up using them, including most of the teachers I know that have huge collections of gift cards |
And that's part of the reason why retailers love them. Most of them have outstanding balances that expire. Or, you come in with a 25 dollar GC but end up spending 30 dollars. |
Good job! My 14yo wants one of these. |
