This year we’re rolling out a weekly Christmas gift guide for grandparents. Each edition will highlight five well-chosen ideas for a certain age. Today: gifts for a 15-year-old granddaughter, with prices to help you plan.
Teens can be tricky to shop for – she’s old enough to have taste, but still exploring what she loves. So here are five thoughtful, fun, and useful gifts (from around AUD $35 to $120) that balance style, comfort and meaning. Many of these ship to Australia or are locally available.
Pretty Me Wall Collage Kit for Teen & Tween Girls
Price: $55
This kit includes printable templates, frames, stickers and hanging materials so she can build a collage, photo wall or visual “mood board”. It’s décor and self-expression in one – and she can keep updating it as her tastes change.
The Teen Birthday Book
Price: $65
A personalised journal she’ll return to year after year. She can add photos, reflections, goals and memories. Because it’s tailored for her (name, cover design), it feels especially personal.
Allkinds Gentle Care Daily Routine Set
Price: $49.99 at Myer and The Iconic.
This set is specifically formulated for sensitive, growing skin, offering a gentle cleanser and moisturiser that are free from fragrance and hormone disruptors—making it ideal for teens starting a skincare routine.
Teenager Gift Hamper For Her
Price: $109 (Little Shop of Happiness)
A curated mix of treats – beauty items, fun accessories, self-care bits. Because it covers multiple tastes, she’ll have choice, which teens often appreciate.
Apitor Robot J STEM 6‑in‑1 Building Kit
Priced at around $89.99.
This kit allows teens to build six different programmable robots using over 480 blocks and includes motors, LED lights, and app-based coding features compatible with iOS and Android. It teaches visual coding and logic skills through interactive challenges and creative robot-building projects. Perfect for girls who love science.
Teens today lean toward gifts that feel purposeful or personalised rather than purely flashy.
Tips for Grandparents Shopping for Teens
Ask subtle questions – e.g. “If you could hang up more photos in your room, what style would you pick?”
Check delivery timelines & shipping fees – overseas sellers may have delays or additional costs.
Include a small gift card (to a local bookstore, beauty shop, decor store) so she has one item she can choose herself.
Wrap with flair – add an element of surprise (a reveal, layered wrapping) so it feels special.
Include a note – a short personal message can make a gift memorable.
