Christmas gifts for Teens
Ah, teenagers. One minute they're kids delighted by a new toy, the next they're giving you that withering look that says you've fundamentally misunderstood everything. Shopping for this age group is... tricky. But despite their eye-rolling protests, teens love receiving gifts - they're just navigating that phase of wanting to be treated like adults whilst still secretly enjoying things that spark joy.
Our Scandinavian collection hits that sweet spot rather well, even if we do say so ourselves. It's contemporary design that doesn't feel like it's trying-too-hard, quality that'll last beyond next Tuesday, and something a bit different. And most importantly - nothing that'll make them cringe in front of their mates.

Practical, portable, and properly stylish - exactly what teenage life demands.
Kreafunk toCHARGE Mini 3, Dusty Pink
In a world where being without your phone is unthinkable, this mini power bank is both practical and stylish, and can charge tablets and other devices as well as mobiles. A thoughtful gift that solves a daily frustration whilst looking effortlessly cool. At time of writing the black version is out of stock, but we're expecting it back in again soon.
Spira of Sweden Toilet Bag, Bosse
This illustrated wash bag from Spira of Sweden is perfect for teens heading off on school trips, sleepovers, or just organising (some of) their bathroom chaos. The Bosse design is quirky and fun without being babyish - exactly the kind of personality piece that makes practical gifts feel special. Affordable enough to pair with other small gifts, too.
Hoptimist Bumble, Medium Yellow
These cheerful Danish bobble toys* have been bringing smiles since the 1960s, and they're perfect for the TikTok generation. This Bumble's sunny yellow optimism is infectious - perfect for a teen's desk, bookshelf, or bedside table. It's playful design with genuine heritage, and every little wobble and bounce brings a bit of joy.
*the packaging emphatically states it's absolutely NOT A TOY, so that makes it acceptable by teenage standards.
Sagaform Pop Latte Mugs with Spoons
For the teen who loves a good hot chocolate (or has discovered the joys of proper coffee), these colourful latte mugs are both practical and fun. The vibrant colours and matching spoons make them feel like a proper present, and they're perfect for their bedroom or student digs.
Norbitt Rechargeable LED Lamp, Squid Black
This quirky little lamp from Danish brand Piffany is the kind of design that makes teens' rooms feel like their own space rather than just where they sleep. Norbitt is rechargeable, portable (you can also buy a separate hanging cord), and comes with three dimming settings that range from "subtle starlight" to "interstellar disco" - perfect for late-night scrolling, gaming sessions, or just creating the right vibe. The 360-degree swivel means you can point the light exactly where you need it, and it's compact enough to put (or take) anywhere. Way cooler than a boring desk lamp, and properly functional too.
