Typically, teens have a tight budget and a small window to get their shopping done—especially for the holidays. So, it’s better to know what you’re getting before you even enter the store--or to add to your online shopping cart, if you prefer to do it that way. Right now, most of our favorite trends are being seen on TikTok, and I used Amazon to pick out these fun finds for teens, but these budget-friendly items can be found almost anywhere. The best news? They’re all around $10 or less.
