holiday gift guide 2026 | caroline + carson’s teen wishlist

fashion and beauty

November 15, 2026

FINALLY… I made it happen AND on the weekend at that!! Year after year, it’s the most sought after, bookmarked AND shopped gift guide that I put out = my girls’ wish list always ranks #1 in what you want to see. Trust me, lots of hours, thought and planning goes into this gift guide… the ultimate teen approved list that anyone their age will want to open on Christmas morning!

They create their lists, I check them twice and then we get to share them with each of you [and lots of friends + family] in the hopes it makes your holiday shopping a bit easier and far less stressful! It’s full on fashion, tech, comfy cozy and all things beauty = no surprise there as it’s what they gravitate towards each time we head to the mall. So sit back, relax and enjoy this year’s teen gift guides:

Kicking it off with everything FASHION… I will say, I love that they put useful apparel, shoes and accessories on their lists. One of the blessings in our school is that we wear uniforms so we don’t have to argue about their daily attire AND that way I actually spend money on clothes they truly love. No surprise here as athleisure, workout wear for dance and shoes top this year’s wishlist for both Caroline and Carson! And I am not going to lie… some things I adore as well! A few high level favs include these Adidas Samba Mary Jane Sneakers, ALO Suit Up Trouser Pants, Marc Jacobs Snapshot Bag, NY Floral Hat and Starfire Meta Glasses.

Moving onto all things beauty… and yes, they’ve been able to teach me a thing or two in this category as of late. They stay up-to-date on the latest + greatest in all things hair, skin and beauty and I’ve found myself using a few of their tried and true favoirtes to give them a proper check to make sure I’m in the know as well. This is the one they spent the longest working on… the right scents, the best makeup essentials, must have hair products and of course a few that ALL the girls seem to want to unwrap. A few highlights they are loving most: Rhode Skin Pocket Blush Trio, Carolina Herrera Blush Perfume, the new Morphe Makeup Brush Set, Rhode Eye Patches and Self Grip Hair Rollers, too.

And last, but certainly not least… let’s give it up for all the extras! The cozy comforts for home sweet home, tech tools to keep them up to date, random essentials you never knew they needed but totally do and of course little happies to bring a smile to everyone the moment they unwrap these treasures = a few fun highlights include the Owala Striped Holiday Sipper, Mini Keychain Camera, Glass Candle Warmer, Hatch Alarm Clock, Lola Blanket and more.
