A trio of Mario Badescu facial sprays to give them a pleasant pick-me-up throughout the day.
Here are the benefits of each one:
—Aloe, cucumber, and green tea will wake up dull, tired skin, hydrate, tone, and reduce redness in irritated complexions.
—Aloe, chamomile and lavender will comfort irritated, dry skin, hydrate, and help de-stress your complexion.
—Aloe, herbs and rosewater will hydrate and treat dry, uncomfortable skin throughout the day. Also great for refreshing makeup.
Promising review: “I am obsessed with these sprays! They’re super hydrating and toning. I have a nice glow and my skin feels and looks visibly healthier. I spray first thing after my shower then moisturizer with lotion, apply makeup and spray to set it. My niece who is on Accutane recommended these to me, because of her dry skin and I love it.” —Jessica Soliz

A giant pack of velvet hair scrunchies they can wear on their wrist or use to throw their hair up in the perfect messy bun.
Promising review: “Perfect! Purchased these as a last-minute Christmas gift for my daughter and they arrived super fast. Every single one is perfect, the velvet is soft and they are well made. My daughter absolutely loves them and there is literally a color to go with everything. The colors range from some darks, medium tones, pastels and even some brights. Highly recommend, very very pleased with this purchase!!” —Lisa S

Promising review: “These stickers are awesome! I bought them to decorate my water bottle and I love them! Most are on the larger side. Great buy and awesome quality — would totally purchase again.” —Janyce
Get them from Amazon for $7.85.
Urban Outfitters
Promising review: “This backpack lasted me three years of high school, traveling, and spontaneous trips and doesn’t show one inch of wear. Definitely worth the money and doesn’t seem to be going out of style anytime soon!” —amendo
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $80 (available in nine colors).
7.
Some fairy lights to clip their polaroid photos to and turn a corner of their room into the ultimate VSCO hangout.
Amazon
Promising review: “I loved this product! It worked amazing for what I wanted to use it for! It is a copper wire so it mends in the way you want/need it to and it’s thin so it really doesn’t take away from the lights. It’s easy to tack down or wrap around things if needed! Another great thing about this product is that it came with a charger port and has a USB end so you can use it with a simple charge at home if needed. And the lights have an adjuster so they can go from bright to dim lighting, which is amazing because most lights do not offer that option, along with an on/off switch so you don’t have to unplug it every time. I will most likely be buying more!” —Julia Granzella
Get them from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in copper or silver wire).
8.
A stack of sea turtle bracelets that are made of high quality, eco-friendly ceramic stone and with every purchase the company makes a donation to organizations that are cleaning our oceans and rescuing marine wildlife. #SaveTheSeaTurtles!

An oversized tee long enough to wear without pants, especially one as trendy as this pondering Kermit tee.
Urban Outfitters
Promising review: “It’s really cute and comfy and I bought a size bigger so it’s oversized.” —anabelle12
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $29 (available in sizes S-XL).
10.
A Hydro Flask water bottle that’ll keep their water ice cold throughout the day whether they’re at school, skateboarding around town, or chillin’ in their cozy hangout zone.
Promising review: “I’ve been using this Hydro Flask for about a month and a half now and I love it. I used to carry a Contigo with a twist off top that was great, but it was hard to clean and the mouth wasn’t as wide (hard to fit ice cubes). This Hydro Flask hits all the marks for me: keeps water cold for a long time (ice cubes still there even when left overnight and the mouth is wide enough to add cubes), easy to clean — no nooks and crannies, no leaking, fits in my Toyota Corolla cupholder, and holds the perfect amount of water/more than my previous bottle, and a wide variety of colors. Plus I love the carrying strap on top for when I’m carrying other things, only needs a finger to hold.” —Holly
Get it from Amazon for $34.95 (available in three sizes and 14 colors).
11.
A Pura Vida bracelet that’s handmade, adjustable, and waterproof so they can collect them, stack them, and trade them with their fellow VSCO girls.
Amazon
Promising review: “My daughter loves it and wears it quite often. The colors are beachy and vibrant, but not neon. Exactly what she wanted. I think the waxy coating helps it hold up well.” —Pam Stevens
Get them from Amazon for $9.49 (available in 14 colors).
12.
A pair of Birkenstocks, because they are versatile, effortlessly cool, and super comfortable.
Nordstrom
Promising review: “These sandals are very comfortable, my first pair of Birkenstocks! They fit true to size and offer cushioning not typically found in sandals. The anthracite leather goes with anything. I have foot fat pad atrophy and can do a fair amount of walking in these, no break-in period was necessary for me.” —OK73072
Get them from Nordstrom for $134.95 (available in sizes 5-11.5 and four colors).
13.
A pack of rainbow metal straws that’ll make them feel good about helping the environment, plus they’re very aesthetically pleasing.
Amazon
Promising review: “I love drinking from straws but there is just something about drinking from a stainless still straw. I mainly drink water and it’s so much more refreshing from stainless. I like that it came with some straw cleaner brushes and the color of straws are nice and colorful.” —Corrie Kennelly
Get them from Amazon for $6.99 (available in four set options).
14.
A pair of white Vans they can wear with anything from jeans to a casual dress.
Asos

Wear them to school, wear them to run errands, wear them to church! I sure do! Nothing can compare to these wonderful shoes. These shoes really show individuality. With a variety of colors and endless shoe charms, you can express who you are in a unique and fashionable way. Be a trend setter with Crocs, the shoes that should have never gone out of style!” —A. Roumie

A pack of Burt’s Bees lip balms made with all natural ingredients to keep their lips soft and moisturized at all times.
Promising review: “I have been using this for well over a decade. I’ve tried many many other lip balms and treatments but continue to go back to this, my holy grail! It has a thick consistency and stays on much longer than others. The refreshing peppermint is soothing when my lips are cracked and painful. This multipack is the best value I have found. I keep one in my bathroom, bedroom, purse and kitchen. I use it every single night before going to bed and wake up with improved lips. They get very chapped during the winters. Can’t be without it!” —Jhall626

A Tonymoly sheet mask that’ll make their skin look and feel healthy and moisturized. They’re the perfect thing for a night of #selfcare.
Promising review: “I have super sensitive combination skin (dry patches/oily t-zone) and I’ve quickly found out that this is basically the only mask I can handle. No weird burning sensation, no dry tight feeling, no harsh smells or flakiness afterwards… just a super soothing, basic mask. The scent isn’t overpowering, and although it does feel a bit tacky after you take it off, it soaks into your skin quickly. I’m obsessed. Definitely suggest the tomato one as well if you have a similar skin type.” —lizzy

A pair of Filas, because the chunky sneaker trend is definitely here to stay for a while.
Promising review: “I wear 8.5, which is what I ordered, and the fit perfectly. I love the color, which is like a school bus yellow-orange. They seem high quality and made very well. I can’t stress how comfortable they are. Like walking on clouds! Update: I climbed a waterfall at Yosemite and they were excellent for maintaining good footing on the rocks. I get compliments constantly.” —Linda
Get them from Amazon for $32.97+ (most are around $60-$70; available in sizes 5–13.5 and 43 colors).
