Just because Gen Z is known for their pro-thrift, anti-consumption ethos doesn’t mean they don’t want a few (but not too many!) shiny gifts under the tree just like the rest of us. We asked our friends at Copycatted, a product recommendation community for Gen Z, what’s topping their holiday wishlist (beyond world peace and an end to climate change). 

Sustainability, unsurprisingly, is a big trend, with Parade underwear and Reformation swimwear just a few of the more ethically-minded products mentioned. Self-care gifting was also a reoccurring theme; a great option if you’re gifting on a budget ($22 Glow Recipe sleep masks) or…not ($320 Sleeper nightgowns).

So whether you’re stumped about what to give the resident cool teen in your life or are looking to make your own wish list a little bit cooler, check out what teens across America (and beyond!) want this year.

Casey Lewis is an editor and digital strategist who's obsessed with youth culture, as evidenced by Copycatted, a shopping community for Gen Z, and @thankyouatoosa, her ode to teen magazines.

Gen Z Holiday Gifts,

Makeup Fridge

Caitlin Belle Isle, 16
"This makeup fridge is so kitsch and sweet. I love how it’s a knick-knack but it's also a storage space. I also love it because putting cold face moisturizer on is just so refreshing. On that note, I also want a Glow Recipe Watermelon Sleep Mask. I got a sample in an Ipsy bag and it has an amazing natural fruity smell and instantly clears my acne without drying my face. Literally, I’m obsessed. "

Lululemon Align Leggings


Francesca Gatto, 18
"Lululemon’s Align Leggings are at the top of my holiday wishlist. I also love Air Force One Shadows, and Bazzi or Post Malone merch."

Clout T-shirts


Caitlin Belle Isle, 16
"I want Slimy Oddity’s Come Into the Light t-shirt. I’ve followed them on Instagram from the start and I think the little slime guys they use in their art are so cute. Plus, I love their message of acceptance, healing, and positive change, and the clothes they sell are ethically made! I also want a Timothy Heller See Ya shirt. I think Timothy is such a sweetheart and I’m really into supporting independent musicians that deserve more hype. Timothy is a huge inspiration to me because of her kindness and incredible style. It’s such an angelic design, too."

Gap Sherpa Full-Zip Jacket

Patsy Daum, 16
"This jacket seems to be the ideal thing to wear on a cold winter day when you’re trying to be extra cozy. I like the interesting pops of color from the zipper and trimming, allowing your fuzzy jacket to subtly stand out in a sea of neutrals that these types of fleeces frequently come in."

Gen Z Holiday Gifts,

Morphe Palette

Patsy Daum, 16
"I really like this Morphe eyeshadow set because it has all of the basic shades that traditionally come in the average palette as well as a plethora of pigmented blue hues. This color variety would let me experiment with color without having to fully commit to wearing a bold eye look."

Morphe Morphe 35V Stunning Vibes Artistry Palette, $, available at Ulta

Gen Z Holiday Gifts,

Reformation Bikini

Patsy Daum, 16
"If you know someone who is very environmentally conscious (like me), then I think a swimsuit from Reformation is a great gift. The company makes sustainability a priority, so you can feel good about purchasing something from their very cute swimwear line. I really like this bikini set; I think the navy and white print is so interesting and unique."

Reformation Costa Bikini Top, $, available at Reformation
