It really depends on who you ask or which article you’re reading, but for the sake of this post…Generation Z is currently age 12-27. That’s a wide range that can be pretty difficult to shop for, right?! Teenagers are notoriously picky, have grown past the toy stage, and have firm opinions on what they want. While 20-somethings are going through life changes, and they might want/need practical gifts (for changes like college, graduating, new house, new job, etc.). Whether you have a teen or a 20-something on your list, the gifts below are fun, trendy, and will definitely make you the cool mom (or aunt or grandmother).

Generation Z Gift Ideas
1.
Fun Candle
You really can’t go wrong with gifting anyone a candle but for Gen Z…the candle should be a little funky and unique. This croissant candle is so fun, cute, and sure to make your younger Gen Zer happy. Find more funky candle options here.
2.
Trendy Uggs
Ugg slippers and boots were a popular gift last year too. But this year, we’re seeing the new and updated version with a platform! If you have a Gen Z teen on your shopping list, they most likely have these on their wish list.
3.
For Anyone
These Touchland hand sanitizers are super popular and a must-have in every Gen Zer’s backpack or work bag. They sanitize, hydrate, and smell amazing. Hand sanitizer may seem like a silly gift, but just trust us…they’ll love these!
4.
For The Reader
Sally Rooney’s newest book is out and if your Gen Zer is a reader, this is definitely on their Goodreads list!
5.
Perfect Beauty Set
Summer Fridays lip balms have a cult following and this minis set is perfect as a stocking stuffer!
6.
Can’t Go Wrong Gift
Skims is a super popular with Gen Z so you can’t go wrong with anything from the brand. This ribbed tee is a great basic they’ll wear on repeat, but you can find more from the brand here and here.
7.
Beauty Essential
These no-crease clips are a great stocking stuff for any-age Gen Zer. The celestial shimmer colors are fun and playful and they will use these every time they do their makeup and hair.
8.
Perfect Hair Unlocked
This dae 3-in-1 styling cream and taming wand is definitely on every Gen Zer’s wish list this holiday season! They can use it to create the perfect slicked back styles, before blow drying for shiny hair, or for the perfect natural curls.
9.
Personalization Is Key
Anything from Baublebar is very “in” with Gen Z right now…but especially these personalized phone cases! They went viral and now everyone wants one. There are a few different color and text options too.
10.
Cult Favorite
This One/Size mattifying waterproof setting spray blew up on TikTok and will definitely be on their list!
11.
Hottest Artist of The Year!
Chappell Roan is easily one of the hottest artists this year and if your Gen Zer is a fan, you can’t go wrong with her popular vinyl record! If they aren’t a fan, Taylor Swift’s newest album or Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet might do the trick!
12.
Perfect Leggings
Gen Z also loves any sort of activewear they can wear as athleisure. These Lululemon flared pants are super comfortable and we love the on-trend burgundy color for the holidays. But they come in a few other colors as well.
13.
Perfect Affordable Gift
Anything personalized will be a huge hit with Gen Z. But if you’re looking for something that’s affordable and on-trend, this $48 initial necklace is perfect!
14.
On-Trend Bag
Quilted carryall bags are super on-trend with Gen Z right now and this one was personally recommended to us by a 20-year-old as a must-have this year. It comes in a ton of colors so you can pick one that matches your Gen Zer’s personality and style.
15.
Everyday Sneakers
These New Balance 327 sneakers will be on everyone’s list this year…not just Gen Z! Erin has them in a few colors and her daughter just asked for a pair too! If you see your size, grab them before they are gone.

Hi Erin,
I really enjoy your Youtube channel, blog,etc. I Ido want to comment on the the sweaters, blouses you wear with the puffy sleeves, You do not look good wearing them and they add weight which makes you look shorter. Thank you.
