Why it works

  • Pocket-sized and easy to wrap
  • Great for workouts and commutes

Keep in mind

  • Check compatibility with their phone

How we chose

We picked gifts with room for her own taste (colors, styles) and everyday use. This guide is narrower than our general teen girls guide, focused on early teens.

These are researched recommendations based on gift fit, everyday usefulness and common buyer considerations. We have not personally tested these items. Read our editorial standards.
