So You’re Shopping for a 17-Year-Old Female? Godspeed.
Shopping for a 17-year-old girl at Christmas is like navigating a TikTok trend – confusing, fast-paced, and if you’re not careful, slightly embarrassing. She’s not a kid anymore (but still kinda is), and she’s not fully an adult either (but don’t tell her that). The stakes are high. Get it wrong and she’ll smile politely before banishing your gift to the bottom drawer forever 😂
But don’t panic – I’ve rounded up the absolute best Christmas gift ideas for a 17-year-old female that will earn you cool points and actually get used. Whether she’s into beauty, books, tech, or just vibes – I’ve got you!
Now… onto the list!
35 Best Christmas Gift Ideas for 17-Year-Old Girls in 2025
1. Stanley Cup Tumbler
If she doesn’t already have a Stanley tumbler, this is your moment to win Christmas!
The 40 oz Stanley Quencher is basically Gen Z hydration royalty – especially in that viral light blue shade that’s all over TikTok.
It makes a lovely gift on its own, but if you want to be a little extra you can stuff it with chocolates, gift cards, and maybe even a scrunchie or two. Instant cool points 😉
2. LED Vanity Mirror
A light-up vanity mirror is the glow-up essential – perfect for 6-step skincare routines, plucking the one rogue brow hair, or nailing winged liner at 7am before school. Basically anything she needs to see more clearly and up-close.
She’ll feel like a TikTok beauty influencer every morning.
3. Summer Fridays Tinted Lip Butter Balm
If you didn’t already know, Summer Fridays basically revolutionized the lip balm world with this product. It glides on like a gloss but hydrates like a pro-level balm – no stickiness, no weird residue, and no constant reapplying.
This is the perfect gift for a 17-year-old girl who’s outgrown the glittery Minnie Mouse balms of childhood. It’s effortlessly cool, ultra-hydrating, and ideal for low-key, no-makeup days when she still wants to feel a little polished.
I own several shades myself and can attest to how nice they are!
4. Sol de Janeiro Jet Set Shower Kit (aka Smell Like a Glazed Tropical Donut)
If you want to win Christmas and get a whiff of “who smells amazing?” every time she walks by, this is it.
The Sol de Janeiro Jet Set includes the iconic Brazilian “Bum Bum” Body Cream, shower gel, and body mist in the delicious Cheirosa 62 scent – it smells like if pistachio + caramel + the beach got together and had a baby.
It has “I totally have my life together” energy – even if she’s just lounging in sweats.
Bonus: it’s travel-sized, perfect for her gym bag, weekend trips, or pretending she’s hopping on a flight to Rio.
5. Chic Makeup Organizer with Drawers
This blush pink makeup organizer is every 17-year-old girl’s dream combo: cute and functional.
With a large top compartment and two roomy drawers, it easily stores body sprays, lip balms, pimple patches, hair creams, and every other beauty product she’s ever impulse-bought.
I’ve had mine for two years and it’s still going strong – and keeps everything neat in one place.
A must-have for any teen who wants to keep her space organized without breaking a sweat.
6. Kendra Scott Ari Heart Huggie Earrings
These heart-shaped huggie earrings are a chef’s kiss blend of cute and classy – aka perfect for a 17-year-old who wants her jewelry to match her Pinterest board.
The dainty size makes them wearable every day, while the quartz heart adds just the right amount of sparkle.
Whether she’s dressing up for brunch or just vibing in sweats, these huggies go with everything.
Bonus: they come in tons of colors and look way more expensive than they are.
7. Oak & Luna Name Necklace (Because Custom = Cool)
If you want to win the “most thoughtful gift” award this year, this custom name necklace from Oak & Luna is the move.
It comes in high-quality sterling silver or gold vermeil, so it looks luxe without breaking the bank.
It’s the perfect mix of bold and minimal, and 17-year-old girls will love that it looks like something straight off Instagram – but way more meaningful.
Plus, it’s great for layering with other necklaces for that effortless cool-girl vibe.
8. Initial Jewelry Case
Every teen needs a place to stash their jewelry that isn’t the bottom of their backpack.
This travel jewelry organizer is compact, cute, and totally functional – with compartments for rings, earrings, and necklaces.
You could gift it alone, in a stocking, or include it with some new jewelry pieces (like the necklace above!) for an amazing gift.
The best part? It’s under $14! Plus, you can personalize it with her initial for that stylish, monogrammed touch.
Whether she’s heading on a sleepover, school trip, or just wants to keep her everyday faves in one place, this is the kind of thoughtful gift that makes her feel fancy and organized.
9. Shark FlexStyle Air Styler (The Viral Hair Tool She’s Definitely Seen on TikTok)
If she’s ever said, “I want to curl my hair, but not fry it,” this is the gift. The Shark FlexStyle Air Styling & Drying System is like if a hair dryer and a pro curling wand had a genius baby.
I own the Dyson, so I have to say – I tried this Shark Flexstyle at a bachelorette weekend, and it functions almost identically – for less than half the price. I was definitely impressed!
It dries, curls, smooths, and volumizes – without extreme heat damage. It has multiple attachments and serious styling power.
My honest take? Save the money – she’ll still get the good hair days.
If you’re shopping for a 17-year-old girl who’s into beauty, this is the kind of gift that feels luxury without the luxury price tag.
10. Digital Camera (For That Y2K Nostalgia Aesthetic)
This little retro camera brings all the Y2K vibes.
It’s perfect for capturing candid moments, filming beginner vlogs, and giving photos that cool, nostalgic aesthetic Gen Z is obsessed with.
Great for any 17-year-old who’s into documenting life – one old-school digital photo at a time.
11. KODAK Instant Smartphone Photo Printer
Let’s be real – 17-year-olds take a lot of photos on their iPhones, but they rarely print them. With everything being digital these days, printed photo keepsakes are becoming lesser known.
This little printer lets her instantly turn her favorite smartphone pics into real, stickable prints – perfect for decorating her mirror, locker, journals, or gifting to friends.
It’s easy to use, doesn’t need ink (yep, really), and makes her memories feel way more special than just swiping through her camera roll.
It’s one of those fun-but-practical gifts she’ll actually use all year.
12. Realistic Fruit Loops Candle
If nostalgia had a scent, it would be this candle. It legit smells like a fresh bowl of Fruit Loops – sweet, fruity, and oddly comforting.
It even looks like the real deal, with cereal pieces so realistic you’ll want to grab the milk (but maybe don’t).
It’s a fun, playful gift for any 17-year-old girl who loves cute decor and yummy-smelling rooms!
13. Soft Bamboo Pajama Set
These pajamas are buttery soft, breathable, and cute enough to wear all weekend long.
Made with bamboo viscose, they’re naturally cooling – so no sweaty wakeups in stuffy rooms.
If she prefers full-length bottoms, here is a similar set with pj pants (instead of shorts).
A great gift for any teen who’s into comfort + style!
14. Cozy Sweatsuit Set (Under $30!)
Soft, stylish, and affordable – this matching sky blue sweatsuit is the definition of cozy chic.
The cropped zip-up jacket is oversized and ribbed to keep the chill out, while the high-rise sweatpants bring serious volume and comfort.
Usually sets like this go for triple the price, so it’s nice to see one for under $30.
There are a few different colors available, but I love the sky blue color!
15. Cozy Half-Zip Sweatshirt (Total Lululemon Dupe)
This half-zip is perfect for a 17-year-old who lives in trendy athleisure, and it looks just like the Lululemon one (but way more budget-friendly!).
It’s cozy enough for cold walks to class, lounging around the house, wearing to the gym, or coffee shop runs. With long sleeves, thumb holes, and a high collar, it’s equal parts practical and cute.
Available in tons of trendy colors, so you can match her vibe whether she’s into neutrals or Barbiecore pink.
16. UGG Ultra Mini Platform Boots
If she’s on TikTok, she’s already obsessed. The UGG Classic Ultra Mini Platforms are the “it girl” boot of the winter – cozy, comfy, and perfect for pairing with sweats, leggings, or oversized hoodies.
The chunky sole gives them that trendy edge, while the sheepskin lining keeps toes toasty in winter weather.
If you want to win the favorite gift-giver award this year, this is that gift!
17. Wonderskin Peel-Off Lip Stain
You have probably seen this peel-off lip stain all over TikTok this year! It goes on like a mask, peels off in seconds, and leaves behind a waterproof, transfer-proof tint that lasts all day.
The nude shade is super wearable, and it gives that soft, matte finish without drying out lips.
This is a fun, trendy gift for any teen who loves trying new makeup styles.
18. The Super Easy Teen Cookbook
Whether she’s a beginner in the kitchen or just tired of ramen, this cookbook makes cooking actually fun (and edible).

A great gift for any 17-year-old who’s ready to level up her kitchen game without needing a culinary degree.
19. New Comforter Set For A Dreamy Bedroom
Want to help her spruce up her bedroom into a cozy, relaxing space? Then this one will do the trick!
This ivory queen comforter set gives off Pottery Barn energy without the Pottery Barn price tag. Reviewers rave that it’s a great quality for the price.
Want it to look super luxe and oversized? Then follow my hack: size up one size larger for that floor-grazing, magazine-worthy drape. For example, if she has a queen, get her a king size set.
This set is a perfect Christmas gift for any 17-year-old girl who’s into dreamy bedroom aesthetics, neutrals, and all things cozy.
20. Aesthetic Alarm Clock
If she sets 7 alarms and still wakes up late (relatable), this cute pink alarm clock is the upgrade she didn’t know she needed.
It’s an alarm clock, sound machine, and night light in one, AND it’s super cute and aesthetic too! Well, for an alarm clock lol.
She can fall asleep to a variety of sounds or white noise, and wake up to peaceful nature vibes instead of that horror-movie alarm beep. The display dims automatically and it has a color-changing night light too.
21. Cream Weighted Dog Plush – The Cutest Cozy Gift
If she loves plushies and constantly steals the family dog for cuddles, this weighted dog plush is about to be her emotional support MVP.
It’s 6 pounds of squishy comfort (and 27 inches!) that feels like a warm hug and looks adorable lounging on her bed.
It’s not just cute – the weighted design helps with stress and anxiety, making it a cozy companion for studying, scrolling, or for falling asleep more soundly. And the neutral cream color? Total aesthetic.
22. Hello Kitty x Kitsch Heatless Curling Set
For the 17-year-old girl who loves great hair and sleeping in, this Hello Kitty x Kitsch XL Satin Heatless Curling Set is a Christmas miracle (and for school mornings!).
It’s oversized for long or thick hair, super soft, and gives you bouncy, heat-free curls without a curling iron. All you do is wrap your hair in it, sleep, and wake up with hair that says, “I totally have my life together.”
Plus, it’s Hello Kitty! So it’s obviously adorable. The satin material helps reduce frizz and breakage (aka: healthy hair queen), and the whole set is TikTok-famous for a reason.
It’s the perfect gift for any teen who’s into beauty trends, cozy nights, and keeping their hair strong and healthy.
23. Apple AirPods Max: Luxe Wireless Headphones Every 17-Year-Old Girl Wants in 2025
If she’s into music, TikTok, or just zoning out in style, Apple AirPods Max are the ultimate Christmas splurge. These luxe, wireless over-ear headphones deliver incredible sound, active noise cancellation, and major cool-girl energy.
The soft memory foam ear cushions feel like pillows for your ears, and the sleek shades (like the pictured Starlight) totally match the aesthetic. Perfect for everyday activities, studying, traveling, or just vibing.
Yes, they’re pricey – but if you’re going big this year, this is the teen gift that gets some serious wows.
24. The 2-in-1 Blow Dryer Brush That Will Cut Her Morning Routine in Half
For the teen who’s always running late for school (but still wants her hair to look like she stepped out of a salon), the L’ange Hair 2-in-1 Titanium Blow Dryer Brush is a game-changer.
It dries, smooths, and adds volume all at once – no awkward juggling of a blow dryer and round brush required. The round brush design + heated air flow + titanium plates gives you fresh, bouncy hair like at a salon.
Plus, it will cut her get-ready time way down.
It’s perfect for everything from picture day to holiday parties… or just making third-period algebra a little more glamorous.
25. 3-Pack Scrunchies with Hidden Zipper Pockets – Cute Meets Genius
These aren’t just scrunchies – they’re sneaky little storage buddies. Each one has a hidden zipper pocket that can hold cash, a key, lip balm, or any tiny “just in case” item she might need.
They’re awesome for school, jogging, sports, beach days, concerts with friends, or even just running to Starbucks without a purse.
Here’s an idea: if you’re giving her money for Christmas, roll it up and tuck it inside one before wrapping the set. It’s way cuter than just handing her an envelope – and she gets three super-soft suede scrunchies she’ll actually use all year.
26. Smiley Corduroy Tote Bag
If her current “school bag” is hanging on by a thread (literally), this corduroy tote with smiley faces will be her new ride-or-die.
It’s got that soft, cozy texture everyone’s loving right now, but it’s still sturdy enough to haul her lunch, notebooks, makeup bag, snacks – all the essentials.
Plus, it’s under $15! This would be a great gift to wrap up with some cute stationery or her favorite gift cards + snacks inside for a Christmas gift that’s both aesthetic and useful – aka the holy grail of teen gifts.
27. Favorite Daughter Weekender Bag
I’m seriously obsessed with this bag. It’s giving cheeky-meets-classic, like a Nantucket boat bag with a glow-up.

They’re lightweight, comfy, and the perfect narrow fit for that effortlessly cool “model-off-duty” vibe.
Bonus: she’ll think you splurged, but your wallet knows better.

If your 17-year-old is knee-deep in group chat drama, school gossip, or stressing over who liked whose Instagram post, this book might just save her sanity.

It’s short, it’s easy to read, and it’s gone mega-viral on TikTok, so she’ll actually want to pick it up.
Plus, it’s way less “mom lecture” and way more “hot girl mindset.”
It’s a great gift by itself, or wrap it up with a cozy blanket, slippers and some tea, and you’ve got the ultimate chill-girl Christmas gift.
