‘Tis the season, it’s gifting season. The holidays are near and it’s time to sit down and make the gift lists. Instead of spending hundreds on random items from the generated Amazon and Target wishlists, here is what is trending this year for teens, even young adults.

Personally, what I want for Christmas is a Dyson Airwrap. These have been trending for months due to the multiple parts that come with the Airwrap and the flawless, effortless look that comes with using this product. Although they are on the pricy side, with all my struggles maintaining my thick, curly hair, I feel this would be essential to ease this process.

Another trending item this past year has been shoes. Shoes to fit the “vanilla girl” aesthetic, the iconic Tasman UGG slippers or the classic Ultra Mini UGGs. Another would be Birkenstocks’ “Boston Vegan Clogs.”

Clothing items that are a superb gift for anyone are classic basics for the closet. Good stores to buy basic tops from are SKIMS by Kim Kardashian, Urban Outfitters and Pacsun. PJ sets from Victoria’s Secret or Target or a matching ESSENTIAL sweatsuit are nice cozy gifts as well.

If a friend wants to start their fitness journey, an essential to this is a good water bottle such as Stanelys, Yetis, Hydro Flasks or an insulated water bottle. Another thing to throw in would be workout sets from either ALO, Lululemom, Gymshark or Target. For weights, buy the Bala Ankle Weights or Rouge Weights in general. To top their fitness start, buying them a one-year membership is a fun touch to add.

In the bag category, the Marc Jacobs tote bag is cute (a bit expensive), and a Lululemon fanny pack is trendy right now. Another bag for more practical use is any north face bookbag or messenger bag.

If needing a new tablet or phone, the new iPhone 14 or the new iPad (10th generation) are functional and durable products for the school year or even in the workplace. Buying any case for these products will point you toward Wildflower or Casetify for protective, safe, yet cute cases to accessorize your new device.
