Teens:
Dahey Plant Propagation Terrarium
These glass vases with cork lids are the cutest! As someone who loves propagating plants, I fully approve of this design. Being able to see the roots grow is super cool, and the clear glass vases allow the plants to absorb more sunlight. When not propagating, you can still use them as regular vases to brighten up a table or windowsill.
Almost 5,900 people can’t be wrong. This boba kit makes ten servings, which saves you tons of money and lets the teen in your life get creative! Ready in about a minute, this would be a fun thing to make and enjoy with friends.

With six different styles of pots and ten different scents, this unique candle-to-flower idea is something the woman in your life has probably never seen.
Got a reader in your home or friend circle? These leather heart bookmarks are the cutest way for her to mark her spot. And these trendy colors are on point!
