This post will show you trendy gift ideas for girls in 2024, with options for every budget.

Are you stumped on what to ask for for the holidays? Or are you looking for cool gift ideas for girls in your life that they’ll actually love? If so, then you’ve come to the right place!

Not to brag, but as someone who has been making Christmas wish list PowerPoint presentations long before TikTok (or Canva) ever existed, gift guides are kind of my thing. I’ve compiled the ultimate list of trendy gifts for girls at every price point, featuring some of the hottest products of 2024.

With gift ideas under $50, under $100, under $200, and some big-ticket items, you’ll be able to put together the best wish list ever — or give a gift that is sure to be appreciated and used.

Now, let’s get to the gifts!

Gifts Under $50

Rhode Pocket Blush and Peptide Lip Tint Duo

Give the girls what they really want: Rhode products! Hailey Bieber did her big one with Rhode, from her brand’s viral Pocket Blushes to the Peptide Lip Tints and skincare products.

This duo pairs a Pocket Blush with a coordinating Peptide Lip Tint for a complimentary makeup look that is oh-so-giftable. I am a huge fan of the Pocket Blush formula, so I highly recommend giving or asking for one of these this holiday season!

Jellycat Stuffed Animal

One of the hottest (and most unexpected) wish list items this year? Jellycat stuffed animals! These plush toys have captured the hearts of children and young adults alike — I mean, who doesn’t enjoy cuddling with something soft and cute?

Jellycats come in a variety of designs and sizes, with options including stuffed animals and objects like tacos, croissants, fruits, and more, so you’ll be able to pick one that feels personal to you or your loved one.

Personalized Cosmetics Bag

How adorable is this personalized cosmetics bag? Everyone who wears makeup could use a cute cosmetics bag to store their products in (especially since these can get dirty or worn down over time — if you’ve ever had a makeup product open in your cosmetics bag before, you get it!).

This seersucker option has a preppy vibe and an affordable price tag, along with plenty of positive reviews, making it a winning choice.

If you’re giving it as a gift and have a bit more budget to spend, consider putting some makeup products inside, too!

The Five Minute Journal (Gratitude Journal)

It’s no secret that practicing gratitude has many benefits, from boosting your mood to reducing anxiety. The Five Minute Journal helps anyone get into a gratitude practice by allocating five minutes in the morning and five minutes at night to gratitude by answering a few simple prompts.

It’s an easy and effective way to incorporate wellness and reflection into your daily life, making this an incredible gift to give, as well. With over two million copies sold, this gratitude journal is a best-seller for a reason.

Dior Lip Glow Oil

Add a touch of luxury to your makeup routine with Dior’s cult-favorite Lip Glow Oil. This glossy (yet non-sticky) lip oil enhances the natural color of your lips and keeps them feeling and looking moisturized.

This designer makeup product is under $50 and perfect for everyday wear, even when you’re not wearing makeup — plus, it will make you feel fancy when applying it.

Lululemon Everywhere Belt Bag

The bag that does it all! There’s a reason why Lululemon’s Everywhere belt bag has become such a staple — it’s so convenient and sleek.

With water-repellent fabric, pockets to organize your items, and the ability to wear it both cross-body and around your waist, this popular belt bag (which is available in 15+ colors) is guaranteed to become your go-to.

Stanley Tumbler Cup

The ultimate way to stay hydrated. Stanley tumbler cups are pretty much everyone’s favorite for keeping drinks cold for 9 hours and iced for 40 hours, with so many colors and sizes to choose from.

The cup comes with a reusable straw and features a narrow base so that it fits in most car cup holders (which is key for being able to use it on the go). You’ll feel more motivated than ever to stay hydrated throughout your day by carrying this cup around!

Vinyl Record

If you’re a music lover who owns a record player, you will probably enjoy receiving some new tunes to spin or gift to someone else who does.

Considering Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet was one of 2024’s most popular albums, it’s a great choice, especially on this baby blue vinyl that is exclusive to Urban Outfitters.

Gifts Under $100

Rhode Travel Set

Take your Rhode skincare routine on the go! This travel-friendly set includes a mini Pineapple Refresh face cleanser, a mini Barrier Butter face moisturizer, a mini Glazing Milk, and a full-size Peptide Glazing Fluid.

This trendy gift is perfect for someone who travels frequently or for anyone who wants to try a bunch of the Rhode skincare products without committing to full-sized products yet.

Skims Cotton Jersey Long-Sleeve T-Shirt

Skims is known for its flattering-fitting clothes and undergarments, and the brand’s cotton jersey t-shirt collection is one of my personal favorites. These tops are stretchy and comfortable, plus they “snatch” you for a silhouette-enhancing effect, making these basic tees feel elevated and luxe.

This cotton jersey long-sleeve t-shirt comes in a bunch of colors, including basics like black and gray, and is practically guaranteed to become a staple in your wardrobe.

Heaven Mayhem Mini Knot Earrings

Heaven Mayhem is one of the year’s most buzz-worthy jewelry brands, and their earrings — especially these gold-plated mini knot earrings — went viral for their fashion-forward design.

They are a great way to take your outfits to the next level and make a stylish statement with your jewelry.

Heaven Mayhem Book Jewelry Box

Another viral Heaven Mayhem item is the brand’s book boxes, which look like coffee table books but are actually jewelry boxes with storage for your jewelry collection.

Available in three different designs, these jewelry boxes are going to add a chic look to your living space while also conveniently keeping your jewelry organized and protected.

White Fox Boutique Hoodie

You can never go wrong with a cozy hoodie, and White Fox Boutique is known for theirs! The brand’s soft, slouchy logo hoodies are one of the trendiest loungewear items of the year, and with so many eye-catching options to pick from, you’re sure to find a favorite.

For the full loungewear look, consider asking for the matching sweatpants so that you can wear them as a coordinating set. This will make getting dressed for classes in the morning a whole lot easier!

Make Up For Ever Full Face Cream Palette

I always ask for makeup products for Christmas; the holidays are a great time to stock up on cosmetics you’ve run out of or try new products trending online.

One item that is currently getting a ton of praise on social media is Make Up For Ever’s HD Skin Face Essentials cream makeup palette, which has pretty much everything you need — foundation, concealer, blush, contour, bronzer, and highlighter — all in one convenient and easy-to-use palette.

These cream shades can be combined to create the perfect match for your skin tone, are easy to blend out, and offer buildable coverage. This one palette can replace up to six makeup products in your arsenal, simplifying your makeup routine and being super travel-friendly.

Perfume Sampler Set with Redeemable Voucher

Do you have a signature scent? Perfumes can be pricey, so the holidays may be a good opportunity to ask for your most loved fragrance.

If you’re still searching for a signature scent or you enjoy trying out new perfumes, this perfume sampler set is the way to go. It comes with 18 sample-sized fragrances ranging from florals and warm and spicy to citrus scents, allowing you to try out many options.

Best of all, once you’ve found your favorite scent, you can take the included redeemable voucher to a Sephora store (or use it online) for a full-sized bottle of the perfume of your choice at no extra cost.

Gifts Under $200

Ugg Classic Ultra Mini Boots

‘Tis the season for warm and cozy footwear, and it doesn’t get more classic than a pair of sheepskin-lined Ugg boots. These are the ultimate “throw on and go” shoes that are just as great for lounging around as they are for wearing to class in the winter.

If you don’t already have a pair, or if your pair is looking worn down, Christmas is the perfect time to ask for a new pair of Uggs! The Ultra Mini style is short enough to wear with baggy jeans, in addition to sweatpants and leggings, and they come in many different colors to choose from.

Hoka Running Shoes

Another great shoe to ask for for the holidays are sneakers and running shoes, which can be a bit pricey but are so practical. Every girl needs a reliable pair of athletic shoes in her wardrobe! Hoka running shoes are a popular option thanks to their cushiony design and fun colorways.

Other notable sneaker brands to check out include On, Adidas, Nike, and Salomon.

Kindle E-Book Reader

If you (or your gift recipient) are a book lover, an E-book reader is the perfect way to read on the go. This Kindle has the lightest and most compact design yet, offering a glare-free display with up to six weeks of battery life. Plus, how cute is its matcha green color?

You’ll be able to store thousands of books with its 16 GB storage capacity, which is particularly ideal if you read while traveling or commuting and don’t want to lug heavy books around with you.

If you prefer to read physical books, you can always ask or give these for the holidays, as well! Cozy season is the perfect time to start a new read.

Hatch Alarm Clock

While receiving an alarm clock may not seem like an exciting or desirable gift, people who own Hatch alarm clocks would beg to differ!

This innovative alarm clock does more than just wake you up; it wakes you up gently with a sunrise that supports your circadian rhythm and helps you sleep deeply with soothing sounds, including white noise.

This will make getting up for 8 AM classes much more bearable and help you wind down after a stressful day of exams — plus, it looks cute on your nightstand.

BÉIS Weekender Bag

Owning good luggage is something that becomes important when you’re in college, especially if the school you attend is out of state and you find yourself traveling back and forth for breaks, holidays, etc.

BÉIS, actress Shay Mitchell’s travel gear brand, is a fan favorite that is known for both fashion-forward luggage designs combined with functional features. The brand’s Weekender Bag is particularly popular, with its stylish yet practical design featuring a separate bottom compartment, trolley pass-through, organizational pockets, and a roomy interior that fits a surprising amount of stuff.

It comes in a bunch of colors and is perfect for staying the night at your friend’s place, on a weekend trip, or being used as your personal item when traveling via plane.

Also be sure to check out BÉIS suitcases, which would also make for amazing gifts come holiday time.

FP Movement Fleece Jacket

What better way to bundle up than in a cozy fleece jacket? As a fleece jacket owner myself, I consider it to be a must-have for just about everyone: it’s lightweight yet warm, it can be worn in multiple seasons, and it works with both athletic clothing and normal clothing, making it ultra versatile.

While there are a ton of fleece jacket options on the market, FP Movement’s Hit the Slopes jacket is one of the season’s top choices, with a slouchy (yet not bulky) fit, convenient zippered pockets and snap closures, and more than 15 different colors to choose from.

I recently purchased this jacket and find myself wearing it all the time — it’s non-restrictive and surprisingly warm!

For more fleece jacket options, check out Aritzia’s popular Polarfleece collection and The North Face’s line of fleece jackets.

Alo Yoga Pullover

Another “it” brand to put on your wish list is Alo Yoga, which offers trendy athletic and athleisure pieces that are as comfy as they are cool.

From stretchy leggings to sports bras, you can’t go wrong with anything Alo, but this classic pullover sweatshirt with a subtle logo is a staple item you’ll likely get a ton of wear out of.

Big Ticket Items

Oura Ring

Everyone I know raves about their Oura ring, a smart ring that monitors your body to provide you with insights about your health, fitness, and wellness.

From helping you get deeper sleep to logging workouts to tracking your menstrual cycle, this ring (which comes in different styles and finishes) not only offers you a close look at your body’s health data but also helps you reach health goals and improve your well-being.

Canon G7X Mark III Camera

The camera that took over TikTok. Yes, this camera is expensive, but if you want high-quality photos and videos that will take your social media content to the next level, she’s your girl!

I won’t bore you with the tech specs, but if you need convincing, just head to the TikTok search, and you’ll find thousands of videos raving about this powerful camera and the stunning images it captures.

This is an especially incredible present if you’re looking to get into content creation seriously.

Apple Airpods Max

Apple’s Airpods Max are practically a fashion accessory with their chunky over-the-ear design and standout color options that make them look just as good as they sound.

These headphones are high-tech, tracking your head movements to ensure you get the best possible listening experience and easily syncing with your other Apple devices, plus they offer noise cancelation so that you can really immerse yourself in the music or podcasts you’re listening to.

Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler and Dryer

IMO, Dyson’s Airwrap Multi-Styler and Hair Dryer is one of the best inventions to come out in recent years, completely revolutionizing the hair drying and styling process.

Not only can it dry your hair in record time (which is major for girls with thick and/or long hair), but it styles your hair without heat damage thanks to its smart sensors that ensure the temperature will not overheat.

The device comes with various attachments that give you multiple ways to style your hair, from blowing it out straight to curling it, making this a worthy investment that you’ll be able to use for years to come.
