The Coolest Gifts for 13-Year-Old Girls

My 13-year-old daughter loves mystery stories! This game from Ravensburger is a new favorite for her!

Scotland Yard needs your help! Professor Moriarty is on the run. He was last spotted escaping in a hot air balloon over the Thames. Use your deductive reasoning to catch him but be careful… Moriarty is dangerous and concocting more crimes. Find him before it’s too late!

In Scotland Yard: Sherlock Holmes Edition, a new version of the award-winning classic Scotland Yard, players take on the roles of Sherlock Holmes, his brother Mycroft, and his companions, Dr. Watson, Inspector Lestrade, and Irene Adler as they pursue Moriarty throughout the streets of London. Moriarty can be spotted rarely as he can use his hot air balloon to move quickly and cover his tracks. Moriarty wins if he escapes, so the clever detectives will need to work together and use their special abilities skillfully to bring him to justice.

She's going to love this adorable cat handbag! It's available in colors: Blue, Green, and Purple/Pink! It features adorable cat paw protective feet on the bottom, plus two pockets on the inside (one that zips).

It's a small handbag that's just perfect for teen girls!

These quilted jackets from Sebby are stylish and perfect for 13-year-old girls! My daughter (who just so happens to be 13) has this very coat and loves it! She feels like it's sophisticated and it keeps her warm too.

My daughter is really into scented candles and incense now. Wild Berry has so many cool burners for backflow cones that teen girls will love, like this pretty dragon, gnomes, Alice in Wonderland, and more.

She can have her pics printed and ready to give to a friend FAST with this awesome instax Link WIDE SmartPhone Printer!

Creating the largest prints in the instax product line-up, this wide-format Smartphone Printer is overflowing with ‘must-have’ features. Don't forget to stock up on extra film too!

Time to ditch the Frozen bed sheets! Girls start wanting things that are more sophisticated once they reach the teen years but they still like some color and beauty. These beautiful flower sheets are perfect for a teen girl's bed and they are super affordable too!

LEGOs are not just for boys! My girls love LEGO building sets too and still ask for them every year for Christmas. The LEGO DOTS sets allow girls to use their creative side to create so many cool projects!

This set has a mix of wearable and useful room decor projects and my Maggie has spent hours with this set!

My daughter loves to read. We go to the library and she checks out stacks of big books to transport her all over the world. One of the Carry a Country backpacks was the perfect gift for her!

We have been talking a lot about my German heritage and she is all about embracing that with me - trying new German foods, looking at German decor items, etc. I knew she would love having a bag made from fabric sourced in Germy that she can use for her library trips.

Taaluma Totes is a bag filled with advocacy, love for travel, and the wonder of cultural traditions.

Taaluma is a Swahili word meaning culture - and each bag fully embraces that. They sourced fabrics from different countries across the world which is what makes this brand truly unique. Not only that, but they give back to local communities and entrepreneurs for every country bag purchased.

When I'm shopping for Christmas gifts for my kids, I like to get them a few practical gifts along with toys and activities. This body pillow is a very useful gift that your teen will use for years to come. Maggie loves this body pillow. It's got the perfect amount of squish for the best body support at night!

As a side note, I have one of their side-sleeper pillows as well and sleep on it every night. It's my absolute favorite pillow!

She probably is ready to upgrade from the kiddie blankets she got when she was a little kid to something more mature like this beautiful and extremely soft minky throw blanket!

The Singtrix professional karaoke machine features a top-of-the-line speaker, microphone, and studio effects controller for lots of singing fun for her and her friends!

When I was a teenager, I remember spending hours upon hours listening to my favorite songs! Initially, I had a portable cassette player and eventually upgraded to a portable CD player (those were the days!), and, of course, headphones so I could listen anywhere.

The headphones these days have changed quite a lot and are MUCH better. One thing that hasn't changed is that teens till love to listen to music. That's why she'll love a pair of these high-quality headphones from Puro.

These headphones are full of great features like wireless sound via Bluetooth, a volume limit to protect hearing, and a noise-canceling design. They have a long battery life and look great too!

My kids have never once gotten a bad product from OOLY. Their arts and craft items are unmatched!

If she likes to draw or paint, she will LOVE these markers from OOLY. This set comes with 10 bright shimmering metallic colors with brush tip nibs that allow for a wide range of creative applications!

From the creators of the hit game WordARound comes a magical twist for Disney lovers!

Prove that your Disney knowledge is superior as your mind races to decipher the word in the circle. Put your trivia knowledge to the test as you recognize words and call them out. From classic to today and common to obscure, Disney lovers of all ages can enjoy!

The Yoto Mini Player is the best and easiest way for teens to listen to audiobooks. We have one of these and all of my children love it! While you might think the Yoto is just for younger kids, they actually have quite a few titles in their library that young teens would enjoy as well.

For example, they have classics like The Wind in the Willows and The Tale of Despereaux.

There are lots of other great titles to choose from - you're sure to find some she will enjoy! Plus, they are always adding new titles as well!

My kids got their first Labyrinth game last year and it was a HUGE hit! I'd say it was the #1 favorite new game they tried in 2022.

The box says this game is for ages 7-99 and I've gotta say, that's pretty accurate! We had family members from ages 5-36 all playing and loving this fun strategy game!

This version features villain characters from Disney movies. With many movies girls grew up loving, they are sure to love this version of this classic game!

The teen years are a great time to learn a new instrument. This set from Donner is the perfect kit for beginning violinists. It comes with a violin, violin case, and other accessories.

Thanks to the Internet, finding an instructor to teach her how to play is easier than ever now too! Learning how to play the violin will be a skill she can use for years to come and a great hobby for teen girls!

The Wizard of Oz is one of those iconic movies that is loved from generation to generation. We introduced it to our children a few years ago and they all love it! My daughter was SO excited to see that Ravensburger made a Wizard of Oz board game - I couldn't make this gift guide without including it!

In this adventure book game, players cooperate to help Dorothy through six chapters of adventure from Kansas to Oz, and back home again. Players will work together to complete challenges by guiding characters and discarding Story cards from their hand.

This is a fun cooperative game that teen girls will have a blast playing with their friends and family!

As a teen growing up in the 90's, one of my favorite games was Scattergories. I played it pretty often with my siblings and now enjoy playing it with my own kids.

Now there’s a new twist on the game! Each player controls their own set of colored stacking pieces. Lay out the Letter Cards, flip a Category Card and the one-minute timer and the game is on! Players, playing simultaneously, shout out words that fit the category and place one of their stacking pieces on the corresponding letter card. When time’s up, the player who has their colored stacking piece on the top of the stack scores for that card. The more pieces under their piece, the higher the score!

I don't know what it is about women and crime, but nearly every lady I know enjoys watching true crime documentaries! And, while a board game is certainly not the same thing, I have fond memories of playing Clue when I was a teenage girl! It was so fun to try to figure out the crime before my opponents!
