Gift ideas for teenagers, our top picks

30 August 2024

Choosing a gift is never easy, choosing a gift for a teenager is a downright challenge. If you aren’t a teenager yourself it can be quite difficult to find that perfect gift for the teenager you’d like to surprise. Because what is hot and what is not these days? A gift faux-pas can easily occur when trying to find the perfect gift for a teenager. That’s where we come in, with gift ideas for teenagers, our top picks. No more guessing sizes, tastes and trends or endlessly roaming the shopping streets to find that perfect gift. We’re happy to help!

Fashion and accessories that never fail

Remember spending hours in your room trying to find the perfect clothes and accessories for that first date or school day? Trying to find the right look is key in the life of most teenagers. And that’s exactly why a gift that they can use to complete their look is always a winner! Think of an H&M Gift Card for example. 

Fashion, accessories, everything they need for a dashing outfit. Equally appealing to teens are gift cards from Primark, because teens usually don’t have an enormous budget. Or make it even more elaborate and give them the option to choose from multiple stores with the Fashion Gift Card. They’ll look amazing, you’ll have the perfect gift to give.

Creativity and hobbies

Teenagers have pretty busy lives. What with school, sports, friends, and everything… It’s no surprise that, just like us ‘adults’ they sometimes want to delve into their hobbies and forget about things for a while. At giftcards.co.uk we completely understand that and that’s why we’re presenting one of our top picks for teenagers: Gift cards for creativity and hobbies.

Is ‘your’ teenager into DIY-projects, jewellery making, diamond painting, perhaps gardening or science projects, then a gift card that suits their hobbies will make for a great gift. Can you imagine them walking into the store, holding their gift card like a charm, their eyes sparkling with anticipation? Good to know: we have perfect gift cards for hobbies. Think of the Home & Garden Gift Card for those with green thumbs, or a Harrods Gift Card for an abundance of choice. A guaranteed success!

Books and educational gifts that inspire

Teenagers can be hard to read. Especially when you’re trying to find them a gift card. A book gift card is a choice that’s both fun and educational and that’s something they’re parent(s) will appreciate as well! Being whisked away to a whole different world for a couple of hours whilst learning (because if you read, you learn) is a win-win situation. 

Finding out what books the teenager is interested in however, is not that easy. This is where we come to your rescue with one of our top gift cards: the National Book Tokens Gift Card. For every genre and taste, this card opens up a world of books! For teens who are more into browsing through the latest magazines, The Magazine Gift Card is another fantastic option.

Making memories with experience gifts

Looking back on the best memories of your youth is amazing. (Not that we’re that old, but you get the point) and you want the same for the teenagers in your life. That’s why our selection of experience gift cards makes great gifts for teenagers. Teenagers love music, dance, or perhaps they’re into travel or the outdoors. 

With our experience gift cards you can add to the fun, or even add to their budget for those Shawn Mendes tickets they’ve been eyeing. And so have, to be honest… But let’s be serious, with for example the Ticketmaster Gift Card they can choose their own go-to artist or show and with the Toursgift Gift Card their next trip shifts from a dream to reality! Making memories: Check!
