This is an amazing e-reader – lightweight, waterproof and so easy to download her favorite books.
Faux Suede Trucker Jacket
Light Therapy Lamp
Winter days are short and can be dreary and we leave the house fewer times, especially when we work or study at home. This light therapy lamp is the #1 recommended lamp by the New York Times, CNN, USA Today and others and will provide simulated sunlight in a healthy way. Adjustable stand and tow light settings.
Mini Fridge for Make-Up or Snacks
If there is a cuter fridge out there, we have never seen it! The Cooluli is portable, runs on AC or DC, and can even be plugged into a car. It also operates as a warmer. Great to keep at a study or work-from-home space to grab a snack between zoom classes. Available in many popular colors.
Lokai Bracelets
We think these simple bead bracelets are so lovely but when we read about the founder’s story and saw how many bracelets he created to honor and contribute to worthy charities, we are even more excited to feature them on this Holiday Gifts for Her list.

Glossier Cloud Paint
Glossier is a favorite cosmetics line and this unique blush, “cloud paint,” is something any teen or young woman would love to try. Available in six shades.
Glossier Skin Salve
In the winter, especially in cold, dry climates, we need a thicker moisturizer for skin and lips. Glossier has many scents and colors to choose from in their Balm Dotcalm line.
Olive and June Pedi System
We are a little in love with the Olive and June product line for nail care and think that this pedicure system with all the tools, several bottles of polish and a footstool would make a great gift for any young woman.

These face masks look so soft and come in cute designs. Package includes 5 masks for $25.
The Comfy
What is it about these oversize lounging hoodies-personal blankets that have become so appealing to our teens and college students? Maybe it’s that Comfys are the security blankets that we could all use for the 2020 holidays!
OOMBRA Bra
This comfortable bra for your teen was developed by a pediatrician when she realized what her young patients needed. Available in multiple colors and prints with two strap styes, the OOMBRA comes in six sizes.

Cleaning the air of dust mites, mold spores, allergens, odors, pet dander, and smoke, the Levoit air purifier is a top pick for small spaces.

We think this adorable envelope bag is a must-have for any Rothy-loving girl. These lightweight bags are available in loads of cute color designs and are made from recycled materials.
Kendra Scott Elisa Pendant Necklace
The most popular piece of jewelry on the Kendra Scott site is the Elisa necklace. Available in gold, rose gold and silver, the centerpiece of this delicate necklace is a pendant. Choose a stone in your daughter’s favorite color or one that matches her college colors.

This award-winning mini facial brush is suitable for any skin type and can deep clean by unclogging pores and removing make-up residue. With eight adjustable intensities, it charges with a USB cord which means no batteries dying out just when your daughter is ready for this at-home spa treatment.
Project Repat T-Shirt Quilt
Project Repat T-Shirt quilts are consistently one of the most popular gifts in our G&F community. Transform a stack of your teen’s t-shirts into a practical and sentimental gift with the help of Project Repat. This is especially nice for soon-to-be high school grad who will be able to take a bit of home with her to college.
Allbirds Shoes
We love these shoes, our kids love these, too. We include them here as holiday gifts for girls but they are great for any family member. They come in lace up, pull on and boot styles in loads of amazing colors. Allbirds now even has running shoes that are perfect for both everyday wear and working out.

Bierkenstock Slides and Sandals
These synthetic leather Bierkenstock sandals are available in an array of colors and styles and are PERFECT for any student who needs to wear shower shoes in a communal bathroom in a dorm or gym. A slides style works well for athletes who need to change out of their cleats or specialized shoes after games.
Orolay Down Coat
We cannot begin to explain how or why this coat became a viral sensation last year but, take our word for it, it won the Internet. Lucky for parents, it is a fraction of the cost of the high end jackets (hello, Canada Goose) and comes in six colors.
Car Phone Holder
More than anything, we want our teens to be safe, especially when they’re driving. This very-popular phone holder sticks on the car’s dash or window and can be adjusted to an angle that makes it easy for your daughter to use her phone hands-free.

These trendy bracelets are made by artisans all over the world. Create unique combinations of jewelry that feature your daughter’s favorite colors.
Hair Dryer/Styler
This hair drying tool by Revlon has become a favorite in the Grown and Flown community and here is why – you can dry your hair in less time than with a conventional blow dryer and shape it with the built-in round brush as you dry it. Your daughter will love this new dryer and it might not be something she would splurge on herself – a perfect gift.
Wireless Earbuds
This is the #1 tech gift that teens are asking for this year and this pair gets high marks from reviewers. Once charged, they can last for over 5 hours.
MVMT Watches
We just discovered this watch brand that began in LA in 2013. (Where have we been??) They are very stylish and are sold at an excellent price point. Here are a few to give you an idea – the MVMT site has dozens more to chose from, all of which are an elegant blend of classic style with very 2020 touches. If your daughter is asking for a watch for Christmas, this is definitely a brand to check out.
