November 29, 2023

Teen self-care gift box with popcorn, tea, bath boms, a candle, fluffy socks, lip bomb, and a scrunchie.

Unboxme Sunshine Celebration Gift For Women | Self Care Package with Herbal Tea, Popcorn, Bath Bomb, Candle, Fluffy Socks, Lip Balm, Scrunchie & Sending Sunshine Card

Round brush hair dryer. I traveled this week without my round brush hair dryer and was reminded how much I depend on my this. My girls love this, too.

 

Portable power bank. Is there a single teen that could not use this?  Can charge a phone from zero to full charge 4 times!

 

Conversation Cards for families. I swear by these. We keep a box on the dinner table and it’s a good way to shift into a deeper convo.

Prompta 600 Conversation Cards for Families – Fun Conversation Starters Card Game for Adults and Families – Road Trip Must Have Travel Game to Get to Know Your Family - Kids Dinner Time

 

Airtag wallet. So your son and stop losing his debit card.

Acne patches. If you have teens you know that they have no shame in wearing these all day. Wish this had been a thing when I was their age.

Pimple Patch Acne Patches Facial Skin Care Products, Blackhead Remover Skincare, Pimple Patch for Face and Hydrocolloid Acne Treatment Patch Salicylic Acid, Acne Spot Treatment (24 Count (Pack of 1))

Speaking of teen drivers. This is a great protective phone case with a strong magnet for keeping it in place while driving. (I use this one, too).

Encased 2-in-1 Mag Case with Wireless Phone Charger - iPhone 15 Pro (Compatible with MagSafe) Clear

 

Portable bluetooth speaker. Only $20

 

“You’ve Got This” soy candle. A cute gift idea.

Elvis+elvin rose lip serum. My girls love this.

Bread elastic shoelaces. So kids can slide shoes on and off without untying.

Crystals and Healing Stones kit. I don’t know why this generation is obsessed with crystals but mine definitely are. For $10 this is a nice stocking stuffer.

 

Oversized Hoodie Blanket Sweatshirt. My kids wear these all winter.

Covergirl Holiday Liquid Glitter Eyeshadow.  Super fun, glittery colors that last.

 

Electric drum set. If you have a kid with aspirations to be a drummer, trust me . . . electric is the way to go. Your ears will thank me.

 

 

Super-soft sleep socks. Great for stocking stuffers.

Unboxme Gifts Warm & Cozy Fuzzy Super Soft Luxurious Fabric Sleep Socks | Ultra-Luxe Cloud Sock For Women & Men

IPL home laser hair removal. Again. Where was this when I was a teen.

Spa Sciences - LEXI - Painless Permanent IPL Hair Removal System - FDA Cleared with 999,999 flashes, Auto Flash, and Skin Sensor

 

Back of the door plushie holder. One of my teens has an intense stuffed animal collection that I will be honest, I hate looking at. This holds them on the back of the door so my daughter can look at them, but I can’t see them.

Amazon.com: Stuffed Animal Storage, Over The Door Organizer Storage for Stuffed Animals Holder, Animals Storage Bag for Room Bathroom Behind Door Storage Organizer, 3 Large & 6 Small Breathable Dense Mesh Pockets :

Iphone cord. For replacing the phone cord they stole from you.

 

Empowerment journal kit. Be still my writer/therapist heart.

“You Are Awesome” grapefruit soy candle.

14oz Scented Candle Jar - Pink Grapefruit Soy Candle with You are Awesome Message, 60-80 Hour Burn Inspirational Thank You Gift for Women, Best Friend, Wife, Daughter or Mom

Affirmation cards. These are great for slipping into backpacks, suitcases, etc.

Bar shampoo and conditioner. Reduce your plastic. I use this and love it.

Deep tissue neck massager. I have this and use it all the time.

 

Heating pad for neck and shoulders

Another good one for reducing plastic bottles. A great, sudsy soap for shaving.

Silicone pasties. If you have a teen daughter who has worn a hoco dress designed in this decade, you know.

Slouchy beanie. Big enough to fit over locked hair!

 

Door pull-up bar. For the teens trying to get “yoked” as the youths say.

Pre-poop toilet spray. Enough said.

Hair mask. This is great for all hair types.

 

 

Picture frame collage. In case you’re the neurotic mom who needs everything in a frame. It’s me.

 

String art kit. Great for artsy tweens.
