Shop hoodies, crew necks and jackets, as well as fluffy shorts and tracksuit bottoms, with a matching set from Nike. One fun festive option: Nike Sportswear matching sets in winter-inspired colours and patterns.

Whether the teen in your life is an athlete who needs to pull their hair back for games or training or simply wants to sport a fresh style, soft hair bows and scrunchies make a winning gift. The Nike Large Velvet Bow, for example, comes in both black and soft pink.

Help them stay warm on chilly winter mornings with a fluffy Nike beanie. Nike Sportswear Beanies are crafted with a soft blend of knit yarns that won't get itchy. They also have a cuffed design that allows the teen in your life to personalise how they wear it.

A fresh pair of kicks is often a no-fail gift for teens. Try these two varieties:

• Nike Air Force 1 Shadow: This sneaker features an exaggerated midsole and a unique layered look: the shoe has two eyestays, mudguards, black tabs and Swoosh designs, as opposed to one of each. Shop from a wide range of colour pairings.
• Nike Court Vision Alta: Available in several hues, this modern, clean platform sneaker has a lifted foam midsole and sculpted heel for extra comfort.

A pair of fluffy slides is an optimal footwear gift for slipping on after training or lounging at home. The Nike Burrow slipper is a great choice for teens who prefer the traction of a sandal or sneaker but the inner fleece lining and marshmallow-soft midsole of a slipper.

Whether your teen prefers mini backpacks, cross-body bags or bum bags, you'll find a Nike bag that suits their individual style. Find these standouts:

• Nike Sportswear Futura 365 Women's Mini Backpack (6L): Ideal for toting small items like a smartphone, water bottle and keys, this miniature backpack comes in multiple funky colour pairings.
• Nike Sportswear Futura Luxe Women's Tote (10L): For teens who prefer larger tote bags for school or training, this glam-looking bag with metal accents is a top gift. The main compartment contains a zip closure with additional secured pockets inside.
• Nike Shoe Box Bag (12L): This cross-body bag, meant to mimic the iconic Nike shoe box, can hold up to 12 litres of items. A removable, cross-body strap is comfortable and won't dig into the shoulder.

Of all the outfit staples that teens wear, a fluffy, roomy hoodie might be the piece that garners the most use. Nike hoodies come in a wide swath of styles, colours, prints and materials, including super-soft velour and fleece.

Whether your teen wants to track their movement, listen to music or tap into mindfulness and sleep apps, the latest Apple Watch Nike Series 7 is a solid gift for any teen. Find a corresponding wristband that matches their favourite colour.

If the teen girl in your life is a star on the pitch or court, Nike has a collection of high-quality sport balls in a range of sizes for training and matches, including football, basketball, volleyball and American football.

Teens can sometimes be tough to please. The Nike gift card is a winning present, no matter the individual. Gift yours in person, by post or digitally in the amount of your choice.
