UGG Tasman Slippers
These became all the rage last year and are still going strong. They are at the top of my daughter’s Christmas list.

The UGG slippers are perfect for wearing to practice or running errands when you don’t want your toes to be frostbitten!

Carhartt beanies are super popular and make good gifts, especially if you live in cold climates. My daughter received a tonal patch beanie as a gift a couple years ago and everyone raves about how cute it is. They are different than the basic Carhartt beanie and really cute. Sadly, I can’t find that beautiful teal color my daughter is wearing in the photo. It must be out of production now, but there are several different shades available!

Bedroom and Dorm Decor
17 and 18-year-old girls will especially appreciate getting new decorations that can be used at their dorm. If you need 18th birthday gift ideas, these things are also a great idea. Moving out of their childhood bedroom and into a dorm is a major milestone and it’s nice to get an early start and have things ready to go months in advance if you can.
Here are a few popular dorm decorations (many of which will also be loved by teenage girls who are still living at home):
- Sunset Lamp with remote control. The best ones change color.
- Flower Throw Pillow (my daughter has this one in her bedroom here at home)
- Aesthetic Wall Art like these flower print posters on Amazon
- Macrame Photo Display with Fairy Lights
- Rolling Cart for Organization (so cute!)
Make-up and Beauty Products
These will be unique to your own teenage girl, but make-up and other beauty products are almost always a perfect present for young women! Here are a few favorites that my daughters have been loving this year:
- Winky Lux In the Stars Lip Oil… also available on Amazon
- Maybelline Falsies Mascara
- Ice Rollers and GuaSha (my 17-year-old girl uses hers all the time)
- Benefit Bad Gal Mascara

- Burt’s Bees Tinted Lip Balm
- Euphoria Highlight Nail Polish
