It’s probably hard for her to find time in her busy schedule to get her nails done. (And, let’s be real, she more than likely doesn’t have the budget for it because, ya know, they are #17.) Treat her to these fan-fave press-on nails that’ll give her a salon-level mani—right at home—in just a few minutes!

Fun Music Card Game

Encourage her time with friends to be ~phone-free~ with this fun music card game! One person (aka the card dealer for every turn) will pick a topic from the deck of cards and the other players will play a song from their phone that they think matches the topic on the card the best. The card dealer will then choose who they think has the best song. They’ll be playing this all day long, watch!

The Original Personal Safety Alarm

This may not be the cutest gift in the world, but it’ll keep her safe! It’s a small safety gadget she can take with her everywhere (unlike pepper spray and tasers which are illegal in some states) that’s both a loud siren and a strobe light. Whenever she feels unsafe, all she has to do is remove the top pin to activate it. It even comes with a keychain so she can attach it to her keyring, backpack, or belt loop.

The recipe for making a teen girl happy must include a Squishmallow plush toy. I don’t make the rules! So with that being said, how precious is this purple alien one? She’s gonna freak out when she sees it!!

B1 - Midnight Rose

Betcha she doesn’t have a rotating curling iron in her life! All they have to do is make sure their hair is clamped in the barrel and from there, it’ll do all the hard work for them. Bonus: It’s pink!!

Align High-Rise Pant 25

You’ll never go wrong with a pair of leggings—especially ones from lululemon. The brand’s Align High-Rise pants are famous for their stretchy, sweat-wicking, and second-skin-like fabric that feels like you’re not wearing any bottoms. They’re great for low-intensity workouts or as casual athleisurewear.

FreeSip Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle with Straw

Something about 17-year-old girls? They’ve gotta have an emotional support water bottle. A cute one at that! You’ll win all the points if you gift her this Owala stainless steel bottle that’ll keep her drink cold for up to 24 hours. She’ll have the choice to drink either from its spout or built-in straw by pushing its handy lock button opening. It even has a carry loop feature to make traveling with it easier!

the rhode kit

Hailey Bieber’s skincare collection is definitely something she’s had her eyes on. And this is the chance to make her dreams come true! The kit has four hydrating essentials—the iconic Glazing Milk, the Peptide Glazing Fluid, the Barrier Restore Cream, and the viral Peptide Lip Treatment in Unscented—that she can use for her day and/or night routine.

The coquette aesthetic is a super popular fashion trend right now, and if your 17-year-old is all about it, she’ll fall in love with this sweet top. Its romantic look with its satin material, ruched detailing, chiffon bust top design, and of course, the ribbon in the middle fits the bill. Add on a pack of hair bows to complete the get-up!

If you get her these headphones, you’ll automatically become her favorite person in the world—trust. The best-selling Apple AirPod Maxes are not just loved for their chic, sleek design but also for their sound quality, noise-canceling ability, and personalized spacial audio feature that delivers a surround sound experience. It’s available in four gorgeous colors: Green, Pink, Silver, Sky Blue, and Space Gray.

Bold Hope

No matter what their interests are, a gratitude journal is something they can always use. It gives them a place to record and reflect on positive moments in their life. This one from Happy Planner has 80 pages (!!) of guided prompts that focus on self-reflection and spreading gratitude and kindness.

Disco Ball Planter

A plant in a vase might be a nice present, but a plant in a disco ball planter? Ya can’t beat it.

Big Effing Clip

Claw clips are all the rave, and honestly, she prob already has a bunch of them! But she probably doesn’t have this adorable pastel pink one from celeb-loved brand Emi Jay. Decorated with crystal embellishments all over it, this hair accessory will zhuzh up even the messiest of hairstyles.

Women's Classic Ultra Mini Platform

Salt and pepper, butter and bread, and your 17-year-old teen and UGG shoes are all examples of perfect pairs. That’s just how the world works! This platform UGG style is the Classic UGG boot with just some inches added to its sole. Its ultra-soft wool blend is incredibly cozy and its cut-off top makes it easier to wear longer pants. If you need more reason to get ’em, just know that most teens own these and love them!!

All Smiles Custom Blanket

She’s at the age where things as simple as a blanket will get her excited. Ahem, but don’t get it twisted…not just any blanket. One that will go ~aesthetically~ with her room. Like, this cool, neutral smiley face option where you can get it customized with her initials.

Cloud Eau de Parfum

The chances of her getting hyped over anything Ariana Grande-related are extremely high. And although you can’t get her the pop star’s new album Eternal Sunshine just yet, the pop star’s top-rated perfume is a great runner-up. From the stunning cloud bottle to its warm and spicy fragrance with notes of lavender blossom, juicy bear, bergamot, and vanilla, she’ll be wearing this scent non-stop.

Goldsmith Faux Leather Bomber Jacket

If street style is her vibe, an oversized leather jacket is a must-have in her wardrobe. The mix of the bomber fit and ribber waistband and cuffs gives it a sporty type of oomph. She can throw it on over a laid-back leggings moment, a skirt and blouse ’fit, or a jeans and tee look and it’ll add an instant edginess to the whole silhouette.

Party Pack

Pimples are just a natural part of being a teen. (Curse you, hormonal acne!) But thanks to Starface, you can make their zits look absolutely fab with these pimple patches that come in an assortment of bright colors.

Mini Knot Mixed

Her jewelry collection isn’t complete without a staple, chunky pair of earrings. I love these ones from Heaven Mayhem that mix both gold and silver. Oh, and did I mention Hailey Bieber is obsessed with them too? NBD.

Harry Sequin Pillowcase

Just when you thought the Harry Styles-obsessed 17-year-old in your life had every possible piece of his merch… This sequined pillowcase with the musician’s face on it is a winner.

Berries 'N Choco Kisses Set

Lip products and teenage girls go hand-in-hand, let me tell you that. (I'm no better woman at 27-years-old!) And you’ve hit the jackpot if you get them something from Laneige. This duo bundle comes with a full-size Lip Glowy Balm and a mini Lip Sleeping Mask.

Custom Neon Sign

All you gotta do is get them a neon sign with their name and you’ll be the best giftee ever. It can be as easy as that!

Ergo Bag with Cherry Print

Found: The ultimate first designer bag for your 17-year-old. This stunning black-trimmed Coachtopia shoulder purse with cherries decorated all over it. It’s a great everyday bag that fits the essentials (phone, wallet, and keys) and will go with anything, but at the same time, it’ll add a bold touch to a look.

Butterfly Sunday

Pro teen tip: Buy them anything with butterflies on it. Trust! They’ll love this butterfly phone case that has EcoShock protection technology that’ll keep their phone safe from up to 8 feet drops. Plus, it’s wireless and MagSafe charging compatible.

WONDERBOOM 3

Getting ready for school, doing homework, hanging out with friends, etc. are all incomplete without a solid speaker to listen to music from! I recommend this near five-star rated option that's incredibly lightweight, waterproof, dust-proof, floatable, and even has a separate Outdoor Boost button that amplifies sound when it's being used outdoors.

Originals Women's Gazelle Bold Shoes

We can probably assume sneakers are the main type of shoes they wear on the daily. So, in that case, you should make sure they’ve got cute, go-to ones! These pink Adidas Gazelles with bright green stripes will have people turning heads (aka all their friends asking her where they got them!!).

Pixel Love Monochrome Wristlet Phone Strap

Do not doubt the power of a phone charm. Sure, it might be an adorable beaded accessory, but it’ll also allow them to be hands-free—while still having their phone on them—if they ever have their hands full. Editor’s note: I can’t imagine going through life without mine!

Heart to Heart Tennis Necklace

A sparkly heart necklace is one of those pieces they can wear all the time and it’ll just ✨work✨ with anything, ya know? You can choose the one with pink hearts and clear rounds, red hearts and clear rounds, or clear hearts and clear rounds.
