Happy December, friends, I hope your week has been a peaceful one so far! Club volleyball is already in full swing for Little Miss, with her first tournament this weekend, so we’re back in sports mode most nights. You’d think at this point I’d be better prepared for it, but I’m already scrambling and we’re living on take-out.
The best part of driving all over is having undivided time with her. It’s amazing how chatty teens get in the car, not to mention the things they tell each other in the back seat! I know I’ll miss these days once she turns 16 in a few months. #gulp
We’re continuing the gift guide fun today with my two favorite people sharing their top picks… the Sugarplum Teens! I asked my kids to choose their favorite gift ideas for kids their age, and these are the things they and their friends are loving this year. Both assured me that finding any of these items under the tree would be amazing!
Teen Girl Gift Guide //
Teens love for their rooms to be ‘a mood,’ and Little Miss loves to decorate with these LED lights around the perimeter, and tapestries on the wall and ceiling. She’s still living in her Nikes (she says these crease guards are a must!) and Crocs, but added these kookie slippers to her own wish list this year (along with these earrings and this photo printer).
And she clearly loves this puffer and eyeshadow palette, since she promptly stole them both from me! I gave her this personalized necklace last year, and she still wears it daily.

Teen Guy Gift Guide //
It’s fun to see Mr. College’s favorites and Wish List items change as he gets older…clearly he’s adulting more considering he put an air purifier on his list, ha! But to be fair, Little Miss added one to her room this year and loves it!
And he may be 20, but the guys love the LED lights and tapestries, too! He put this projector and massage gun on his list, along with these wireless headphones, which he insists are better and more comfortable than Apple AirPods!
I’m also getting him his own pair of the crazy-good Vuori joggers since he promptly tried to steal his dad’s last week! Oh, and I got him this cozy throw last year, and the guy loves it so much he brings it home when he visits!

As for stocking stuffers, Little Miss always gets these pimple-zapping patches and this earring set (perfect for multiple piercings), and Mr. College his favorite face cream and believe it or not… this detergent because ‘it smells like home.’ I also put this lip mask in everyone’s stocking, and it lasts a full year!
I hope their guides help with your gifting this year, I know their lists helped me! Are your kids asking for something specific? Leave it in the comments so we have even more ideas! And stay tuned for Mr. SP’s Men’s Guide and Mama SP’s Favorite Things, both coming soon!

This is a great teen gift guide! Waiting for the price of Crocs to come down to a civilized price (plastic!!).
The teen girl conversations in the back seat, forever etched in my mind: “He’s a Greek God!”
My fave, ha,ha! xo.
HAHA, yes Sandy! It’s so funny what they say back there!! xo, C
Thanx for your Cyber Monday ideas. Got some (useful) things I didn’t know I wanted/needed. xo.
Great gift guides. Thx to your kids for sharing. Are you able to load hundreds of photos on that digital photo frame? I’m reading some mixed reviews but would like to buy for my parents. Lmk
We’ve had ours for a few years now and it has more photos than I can count!
What cologne does your son and or his friends like?
He’s not a big cologne guy!! Those type of things are so hard since scents are subjective!
