In today’s video, I’m sharing what we got our kids for Christmas 2025—teen edition. I’m a homeschooling mom to two girls (Lydia is 13 and Bella is 16), and I filmed while my sister took them to lunch because I did not want them to hear or see anything. Every year I love to include books, so I’ll show you the gorgeous boxed sets I picked for each girl, plus the fun, cozy, and practical gifts that fit their personalities. For Lydia, I leaned into what she genuinely loves: The Nightmare Before Christmas (Oogie Boogie is her favorite), dragons, reptiles, dinosaurs, and building sets. She asked for Flamecraft and a bunch of LEGO, especially the botanicals—so I cashed in rewards points, price matched, and shopped sales to make it work. For Bella, I went more “cozy meets classic” with her Jane Austen set, a Pride and Prejudice book purse, hair tools for her curls, warm blankets (because she is always cold), perfume she’s wanted forever (found for way cheaper at TJ Maxx), plus makeup and nail goodies I’m wrapping together. The big thing this year is that Luke and I upgraded both girls’ laptops. We don’t typically do expensive holiday gifts, but we saved for almost a year, their old laptops needed replacing, and our Christmas vacation got cancelled—so we used that money toward gaming laptops and accessories. And I really mean it: it’s not what you spend, it’s the time you share together.
