15 Generation Z Gift Ideas for The Holidays That Will Make You the Cool Mom
Generation Z Gift Ideas
It really depends on who you ask or which article you’re reading but for the sake of this post…Generation Z is currently age 11-26. That’s a wide range that can be pretty difficult to shop for, right?! Teenagers are notoriously picky, have grown past the toy stage, and have firm opinions on what they want. While 20-somethings are going through life changes, that might mean they want/need practical gifts (changes like college, graduating, new house, new job, etc.). Whether you have a teen or a 20-something on your list, these gifts are sure to please and are fun, trendy, and will definitely make you the cool mom (or aunt or grandmother).

Alo > Lululemon
According to Gen Z, they prefer Alo for their activewear and athlesure pieces over the popular Lululemon brand. If you want to make your Gen Z’er happy, gift them a pair of these Alo leggings that come in a TON of color options!
Step aside Golden Goose, New Balance, and Nike…adidas is having a major moment! The Samba style is super popular and on-trend with Gen Z right now. But they’re selling out fast! We linked a few option as well as another style called the Spezial.
These are a wonderful gift if your teen is headed to college, if your 20-something works from home, or if they just need an upgrade on their headphones. These wireless, over-ear headphones come in multiple colors too. If they already have these or you want to gift something to help them personalize their headphones, we also linked some cool headphone covers that are fun, colorful, and unique!
While a red light face mask might not be for teens, it’s something the older half of this generation is loving right now and will definitely have on their list this year!
These bright, printed quilted jackets from Etsy are all over TikTok right now and they’re SO cute for any Gen Z’er! We linked an option from Etsy and one from Anthropologie we know they’ll love.
These spray hand sanitizers are another viral TikTok item and this set includes five so they can have them wherever they go! This exact set keeps going in and out of stock so we linked another option on Amazon too.
These Ugg slippers are SO popular right now and come in multiple colors. We also linked another platform style that’s equally as popular among Gen Z. And…if you can get your hands on any Ugg style in the Chestnut color…that’s a Christmas miracle and you’ll have a very happy Gen Z’er in your house!
Obviously, these beautiful wine glasses are only for the 21+ crowd! This set of 6 is beautiful, cool, unique, and colorful. This brand has multiple color options of this set on Shopbop too.
Yes, Charlotte Tilbury is a beauty brand that ALL generations love! This set includes their popular liquid highlighter and blush. Maybe you grab one for them and yourself??
Miu Miu has quickly become one of Gen Z’s favorite designer brands. If you’re looking to gift that fashionista on your list something luxe and on-trend, these Miu Miu ballet flats are perfect.
