Trendy gifts for teens that will earn you major cool points

Bubble, the TikTok-loved brand with 2.9M followers, has teens totally obsessed—and honestly, we get it. With edgy, colorful packaging, these holiday gift sets are as fun to use as they are to look at. We tried pretty much everything—cleansers, serums, moisturizers, lip balms—and it was so hard to pick favorites. Your teen would probably love it all, but these sets are packed with best-sellers and wrapped in festive, super cute packaging.

Take the Polar Pair: Fresh Start cleanser keeps skin balanced, and Slam Dunk moisturizer brings fluffy, cozy hydration. Think marshmallows and hot chocolate, but for your face. Or the Snow Globe set: Day Dream brightens skin, Morning Rays wakes up tired eyes, and Tell All gives lips a minty, mistletoe-ready boost.

And if the set you pick doesn’t include the Tell All lip balm? Definitely add it! It comes with a matching keychain (and optional charms!) they can clip to their backpack, locker, or keys—practical and adorable. These are just a couple of the fun sets Bubble has to offer, so check out the rest on their site—you’ll want them all!

Yeah, there’s another tumbler stealing the spotlight, but if your teen’s all about bold color blocks and cool design, the Owala 40oz Tumbler is the real winner.

For the teen who’s all about that flawless, airbrushed look, the M2U NYC Makeup Sponge Collection is a fab gift that will get used.
