50 Birthday Gift Ideas for Girls

Hello everyone!

A bunch of my friends’ birthdays are in the summer in addition to my own, so birthday plans and gift shopping have definitely been on my mind lately. If you’re in the same boat, this is the post for you! Here’s a list of gift ideas with something for everyone (hopefully). It will take off the stress of searching for the perfect gift and your friend will love whatever they get, so it’s a win-win!

*Disclaimer: these gifts vary in price range and creativity greatly, they are just ideas! You can give a great and meaningful gift without spending a lot of money.

Money
Gift cards to their favorite clothing store, restaurant, website, or a service like Uber/Postmates, etc.
Scrunchies (you can get huge packs on Amazon for cheap!)
Wildflower phone cases or any phone case
Portable charger
Streaming subscription (music or Netflix, etc.)
Beauty products (eyeshadow palettes and Mario Badescu stuff are always popular)
A personalized photo book or scrapbook from Shutterfly/any website where you can make one, or homemade
Candy
Hydro Flask and stickers to customize it
Concert tickets for an artist you both like
New phone
New laptop
Plan a day with them- some ideas are going to a cool restaurant for lunch, going out to a nearby city or beach, or going to get your nails done
Candles
Bath bombs (Lush ones are great)
Shoes- Nike Air Force 1s and Doc Martens are really popular right now, but any cool sneakers or boots would be great
New wallet or purse
Jewelry- Brandy Melville has cute affordable jewelry, but on the pricier side there are trendy Instagram-popular online stores like Adina’s Jewels and Frasier Sterling (they have good sales though!)
Fjallraven Kanken backpack
Sunglasses
Perfume- minis are good because they can get a feel for the scent and purchase a bigger bottle later
Glossier products (Boy Brow and their Balm Dotcom are their best sellers)
Portable speaker
AirPods or any nice wireless headphones
Skateboard
Surfboard
A guitar or any instrument if they want to learn to play (or a newer/nicer one if they already play and have one)
A book they’ve been wanting to read, or one you think they would like
Room decor- anything from knicknacks that match the theme of their room to new bedding to new furniture
New hair tools (straightener, curling iron, hairdryer)
Minifridge for their room
A cute coffee mug (you could even get a personalized one with a photo of you guys on it)
Bake them a cake or their favorite food and wrap it nicely
Clothes!! If I get clothes for a friend I usually get them a shirt- popular stores are Brandy Melville, Urban Outfitters, Pacsun, American Eagle, Forever 21, and Tilly’s, but there’s also online stores like Princess Polly that have grown recently
A nice set of pens or stationary
Calvin Klein bra/underwear set
Birkenstocks
Framed picture or collage of you guys
Fuzzy socks
Bathing suits (Target, Forever 21 and Zaful are popular for cheap ones, Pacsun and Tilly’s have midrange ones, and boutique-y brands like Frankie’s Bikinis and Vitamin A have great pricey ones)
Amazon Alexa or Google Home/any voice assistant
A cute makeup bag or decorated storage container (you could fill it with goodies too!)
A care package filled with their favorite snacks and lots of little gifts like small beauty products, or you could create a theme for it and give lots of gifts centered around that theme in it
Minimergency kit (these are lifesavers, it’s a specific brand/product)
Travel kit (essentials for traveling, travel-size toiletries, makeup bag, mini nail kit, etc.)
Lululemon leggings or workout clothes from there in general
Photo printer
Polaroid camera
Apple Watch

Those are all the ideas I have for you guys now! I hope you guys can get some inspiration for this or found a gift idea that will work for the person you have in mind. If you have any ideas you think should be added to this list, feel free to let me know!
