As someone who is self-described as Gen Z adjacent (I’m just a year shy of the cutoff according to some definitions), I can definitely identify with most of the characteristics attributed to the generation. Gen Z is always pushing boundaries and challenging the status quo. They’re chronically connected — you can count on them to know every single TikTok trend — yet prioritize their mental health and well-being perhaps better than any other generation. And spanning ages 12 to 27, Gen Z applies to a pretty wide range of people, so it is completely understandable why someone purchasing gifts for Gen-Zers may be a tad bit intimidated.

Allow me to help ease your worries as you zip through this editor-approved list of unique, popular and TikTok-vetted gifts that will work for practically any occasion and age. There are top-sellers for tweens, over-the-top cool items teens will appreciate (the UGG, Carhartt and Adidas brands are all on here) as well as gifts for people in their 20s.

So the next time you're wracking your brain for the best Gen-Z gifts, remember this guide.

It's one of our top gifts for tweens and teens year after year, and we can see why. They can create one-of-a-kind figures by bringing their doodles to life with this pen.

AMAZON REVIEW: "This is so great, I recommended it to my friend and they got it too. I have a 3D printer, but some things are better suited freehand. This allows you to break free of restraints of build plate restraints and allows you to do things that may fail on a printer because you can vary the control yourself, like a vertical standing string."

Everyday Speaker

A Bluetooth speaker has become a necessity for Gen-Z. This one by Raycon is small and portable, plus it is loud enough to be heard from rooms away. (I have personally tested and can confirm.)

AMAZON REVIEW: "I love the compact, light weight, and sleek style. (Seriously, the best looking small Bluetooth speaker I've seen!) I love that it is magnetic! I can stick it to the metal on my shower door and listen to music. The sound is high quality and the base is so clean. I love love love this speaker!"

AMAZON REVIEW: "I am an avid TikTok’er and by avid, I like to primarily scroll and find fun recipes. This book has outlined some of the best. What makes it really fun are the QR codes with most of the recipes, so you can really feel connected to the creators."

Cooling Water Jelly Tint Lip + Cheek Blush Stain

Perfect for summer, this cooling lip tint and blush stain from Milk has had TikTokers in a frenzy. It comes in four vibrant shades, and already has the It Girl stamp of approval for being easy to use and long-lasting.

SEPHORA REVIEW: "If you have issues with blush fading too soon, you won’t with this one. Applies more evenly when used with a dual fiber brush. Lasts me all day."

Bedside Shelf

Everything needs to be as close as possible for those days when they are just hanging at home. This shelf can attach to almost any bed to keep their phone, drink, tablet or anything else, in reach.

AMAZON REVIEW: "The BedShelfie is a wonderful alternative to having a side table. It doesn’t take up too much space, is really sturdy, and super easy to install.

It can hold your laptop, tablet, book, phone, drink etc. It serves its purpose and still looks brand new after months of purchase, great quality product."

Her lip combos will stay put with these viral peel off lip liner stains. TikTokers have raved about the gorgeous payoff from them, and the satisfaction of peeling off the dried on product to reveal a flush of color is icing on the cake.

I have bought several so I don't run out. It does take a minute to get used to putting it on, but once you get it, you will love it."

Owala FreeSip Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle

While the Stanley Quencher still serves its purpose, the Owala cup is the most viral bottle of the moment. Even our experts in the Kitchen Appliances and Innovation Lab loved how slim it was, how long it kept drinks cool and all the fun colors it comes in.

OUR REVIEW: "My absolute favorite thing about the Owala is that you can drink out of the spout like it's a straw or you can tilt it upwards to take bigger gulps. I'm not a fan of water bottles with straws (they require so much work to drink out of and clean!) but this one is a game changer."

Cover for AirPods Max Headphones

Keep their AirPods Max headphones in pristine condition with these affordable covers. They come in 12 colors, and are sturdy enough to protect from scratches.

AMAZON REVIEW: "These fit perfectly on my new Apple AirMax headphones, I love these so much! The color is very pretty, and I decorate the covers with stickers."

SKIMS Foldover Pants

Kim Kardashian's SKIMS brand is known for sculpting shape wear that is both breathable and soft to touch, but we'd argue that any Gen-Zer in your life will love these foldover pants more. Reviewers and TikTok influencers agree that they're super comfy, soft and stretchy, making them perfect for lounging around or traversing a college campus.

NORDSTROM REVIEW: "These are so comfortable and stretchy! I am a big fan of the cotton jersey collection. I would recommend sizing down one size because of the amount of stretch."

Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa '62 Mist

When it comes to fragrances, Sol de Janeiro's body mist might as well be the Gen Z equivalent to millennials' Bath and Body Work's Sweet Pea. It's everywhere. Reviewers on TikTok and Amazon have raved about the delicious scent.

AMAZON REVIEW: "This fragrance is like a tropical vacation in a bottle. The scent is absolutely divine, with notes of coconut, vanilla, and tropical flowers that linger beautifully on both my hair and body."

UGG Tazz Platform Slipper in Chestnut

AMAZON REVIEW: "These are actually great little portable power banks. They snap onto the phone and you can carry and use the phone normally with the power bank attached quite easily. They are lightweight and they work and feel better than having a large power bank tethered with a cord."

With over 10,000 5-star reviews on Amazon, plus its affordable price, it's hard not to buy this lip oil. Available in a bunch of different shades, it'll give them all the shine without any stickiness.

AMAZON REVIEW: "I've been trying to find that transparent pink pouty gloss that I see everywhere, this isn't it, but I love this look much more! Natural, long-lasting,hydrating and the colors are great."

Pearlized acrylic claw clips are the perfect accessory for low manipulation hairstyles, plus they just look cool. This set of 10 comes in gorgeous pastel colors and funky patterns. Amazon reviewers also note that the teeth are thick and sturdy, making them ideal for keeping hair in place.

AMAZON REVIEW: "I got this excited for the opal / pearl pattern on the clips thinking I wouldn’t like the others. I’ve used each of them and like changing out the patterns. They are a bit small, good for medium hair or half up styles. The claw is very strong and holds snug."

Carhartt Men's Knit Cuffed Beanie

Synonymous with effortless cool, Carhartt has become the designer brand of the Z generation. Gifting your Gen-Zer anything from the brand, but mostly this super cute goes-with-everything beanie, will earn you tons of brownie points.
