Although “cool girl” sounds like a very broad term, this type of person quite arguably calls for the most specific (and perfect) holiday gift. You know the friend who’s always somehow ahead of the trends? As a matter of fact, they’re probably kick-starting the biggest ones of 2025 as we speak. Or the sister that’s basically the human embodiment of all the coolest fashion videos on your TikTok FYP? Maybe the cousin who somehow even makes Daisy Edgar-Jones look like she’s going out of style? How are you supposed to know what they want?

Pulling the name of the person who’s effortlessly up-to-date on… well, everything, can be a tad bit intimidating—so I did the work for you. When it comes to finding the perfect gifts for the cool girl in your life, trendy and unique options can make all the difference. This thoughtfully curated collection of cool girl gifts is guaranteed to impress. Regardless of your cool girl’s age, occupation, or current aesthetic obsession, these unique gifts are ahead of even the most relentless trendsetter’s radar.

Finding the perfect present has never been easier, right? Lucky for you, there’s even more where that came from—click here to browse our entire holiday gift guide.
