27 Gen Z-Approved Gifts That Are Actually Cool

We know it's hard to find the right gifts for your loved ones, so we've compiled a ton of fashion and beauty-focused gift guides tailored to a range of interests and budgets. Check out our latest below and find more right here.

Shopping for a different generation can be tough — especially in the age of constantly changing hyper-fixations and endlessly rotating trends online. When it comes to gifting Gen Z, the reality is that what's cool today could be out in just a week. So, being strategic in sorting through the fleeting fads and selecting gifts that will last longer than the average TikTok video is key.

We've curated plenty of options perfect for just about any Gen Z need: If your giftee is obsessed with beauty, we've got everything from limited-edition cult favorite lip balms to do-it-yourself nail kits; if they just needs a few things to spruce up their space, consider a Rare Beauty affirmation mirror or a silk pillowcase set.

And because the younger generation is known for being all-in on its various fandoms, we also selected a handful of gifts suitable for the super — or subtle — fan. Think: an Olivia Rodrigo box set, a picture frame for the ride-or-die Swiftie, or the platform boots Sabrina Carpenter has made everyone want to "slam the door" with (IYKYK). Ahead, find something for every Gen Z on your gift list — curated by an actual Gen Z, thank you very much.
