Holiday Fashion Accessory Gift Ideas for Younger Teen Girls

What kind of holiday gifts would a young teen savvy to fashion trends want this holiday season? Even shoppers not confident enough to choose clothes for a teen girl can select accessories she will love.

Hair Accessories for the Holidays

Clip-in hair color strips allow girls to be a bit daring without actually dying their hair unnatural colors. Bright blues, greens, and pinks are especially popular; in choosing a color, consider the palette of her wardrobe. Clip- in hair color strips can be purchased for under $5 in stores like Claire's.

Younger teens have moved past the colorful plastic barrettes of their younger years, yet continue to use decorative barrettes in their hair. Beautiful barrettes can easily cost $15 or $20 apiece, making them viable as a stand-alone gift. Less expensive barrettes make perfect stocking stuffers. Study the wide range of barrette styles available before going shopping.

Scarves

Fashion scarves change the look of an outfit, and teens who like them like to own lots of them for just that reason. Scarves add a splash of color, texture, or style to an otherwise drab outfit. And because they can be pricey for a teen with a limited budget, they make a perfect holiday gift.

Belts

There are belts that hold your pants up and there are belts that make a statement. It's the latter category you're after if you're buying a teen a belt for a holiday gift.

Nail Polish

A selection of several different colors of high quality nail polish that is less chip prone than its cheaper counterparts is a welcome holiday gift for most teen girls. Consider selecting one or two colors each from the range of polishes from standard to glitter to metallic to trendy and creating a nail polish gift basket.

Jewelry

Casual slap bracelets, mood rings, friendship bracelets, bead earrings, skull jewelry... the list goes on. Trendy jewelry is popular with most young teen girls. If you're buying earrings, take note of whether or not her ears are pierced. With that caveat, it's relatively easy to find jewelry appealing to teens for a holiday gift in specialty stores and in mall retail chains.

When holiday shopping for a young teen, fashion accessories may be the perfect gift.
