As you move further away from your high school years, keeping track of whatâs âinâ is no small feat. So, when youâre shopping for the best gifts for 14-year-olds, you may need a quick brush-up on whatâs cringe and what actually makes a proper present for a teen. The 8th and 9th graders in your life arenât totally unknowable, thoughâthereâs plenty of overlap between whatâs trending on TikTok and whatâs timeless, just with a couple of tweaks. Like, the curling iron you used every day when you were 14? Now, itâs a beach waver. The silly putty you loved? Slime has taken its place. Your record player? Well, itâs still a record player, but now it has Bluetooth, which we think is pretty sweet.
Below, youâll find the best gift for teens of any ilk, whether theyâre gamers, influencers in the making, or devotees to all things cozy. If itâs for Christmas, a birthday gift, or a âjust-causeâ moment, youâll find a great fit for the 14 year old in your life.
