The Gen Z Gift Guide, According to a Chronically Online Gen Z Writer

Featuring an adorable 3D embossed design, this limited-edition version of everyone's favorite LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask features a gingerbread man, a magical custom spatula, and a cozy spiced cookie scent (that isn't strong or artificial). It's the perfect holiday gift for your lips. 

Any blind box is a no-brainer favorite for Gen Z, but especially if you manage to find an authentic Sanrio Peek-a-Boo blind figure to stick on your phone or laptop. Hello Kitty and her friends are a favorite among blind-box aficionados. 

Gen Z doesn't just love fragrances; they love body and hair mists that smell luxurious—and Cécred's hair perfume is exactly that. It features notes of bergamot, neroli, spice blend, violet leaves, night-blooming jasmine, Mediterranean lavender, Haitian vetiver, oud, Australian sandalwood, and warm musk.

Gen Z loves a hair accessory that is both good for your locks and looks whimsical, romantic, and delicate. This hair scrunchie is not like other scrunchies on the market, with its 100% mulberry silk, blush pink calla lily blooms, and sculpted leaf details. 

This lip balm is constantly selling out at Sephora. The MAED tinted lip balm is a luxe experience in a tube. The formula features the brand's signature complex that supports lip barrier repair, as well as raspberry seed oil and squalane for antioxidant-rich moisture. 

You're either a Vera Bradley girly or you're not. The brand's original tote bag has a variety of whimsical patterns and bold colors, but this apple-red, floral pattern with a teddy bear motif is an instant favorite for the holidays. 

Have a bestie who travels a lot? Say goodbye to jet-lagged skin with this 4-piece set featuring mini serums, mists, and masks from Summer Fridays' most iconic line.

For the junk journal enthusiasts or analog fanatics, this refillable leather journal is designed to hold up to three A5-sized notebooks and has a pink metallic cover that will have any Gen Z simply obsessed (I know I am)!

Gen Z is obsessed with press-ons. They're not all created equal, though. Opt for ones that feature a French tip design, so they look more realistic. These from Glamnetic's collaboration with Star Wars are lovely and make sure the Force is always with us. 

You can never have too many cute slippers that look stylish and feel extremely comfy at home and while on the go. The DREAM PAIRS' slippers feature a genuine suede upper, faux fur lining, a soft foam platform insole, and a cream colorway with pink trim. 

There are plenty of iconic beauty brands that are perfect for Gen Z. But if you're looking for something viral that actually works without spending the designer price tag, WONDERSKIN is a perfect option. This set comes with two of your choice of the viral stain lip liner and a brush.

Most (if not all) Gen Z are obsessed with Coach. Gift them a chic bag option for a night out. The brand's outlet offers this small shoulder bag, Nolita 19, in a maple brown embossed crocodile and gold details that we're in love with. 

Make sure your giftee connects with their divine energy with this angel number necklace. Made with stainless steel plated with 18k yellow gold (or not if you opt for a silver version), the necklace comes in multiple triple-digit options that all have different spiritual meanings. 

A good pair of knee-high boots is always an investment—but what's currently trending in the boot world are chic, fold-over biker ones. These boots from ALDO would make a beautiful gift with their trending relaxed shaft, buckle-strap detail, brown shade, and block heel.

Does the Gen Z in your life adore their bed? There's no better gift you could give them than a luxe duvet cover. Made from 100% Eucalyptus TENCEL, this duvet cover from EUCALYPSO is this Gen Z writer's favorite pick. It'll transform your bed into a soft and cooling cloud for way less. 

Gen Z adores physical media. If they already have a full vinyl collection, a good gifting option is an art book by their favorite photographer, director, or designer. Fairy Tales is a creative part photo book, part collection of folktales by photographer Petra Collins and Euphoria actor Alexa Demie.
