Holiday Gifts To Give Your Favourite VSCO Girl
Here comes VSCO girl, here comes VSCO girl, right down SKSKSKSK lane!
Let me tell you something: the kids these days are spending less money on bribing someone to buy them a few bottles of Passion Pop outside the local bottle-o and more money on Carmex, and we still don’t know if that’s a good thing.
What is a VSCO girl? Ok Boomer, let me tell you. The VSCO girl was named after the photo editing app ‘VSCO’, and refers to a teen girl who follows a specific aesthetic – think crop tops, high-waisted denim, beachy, messy buns, etc.

It’s fairly easy to spot a VSCO girl, and once you pinpoint their characteristics, you’ll soon realise that you’ve got some closer to you than you thought.
So if you ended up with the VSCO girl in your Kris Kringle this year, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.
We’ve put together a holiday gift guide for your favourite VSCO girl, and don’t worry, these are all Instagram-story approved.
1. Hyrdo Flask
VSCO girls have to quench their thirst somehow! Be real, can you really see them drinking out of an eighty cent Coles plastic water bottle? Not only is that bad for the environment, but more importantly, it’s not good for the aesthetic.
Get your VSCO girl a hip and trendy Hydro Flask, and that ‘ish will be both hydrating and Instagram-worthy.
2. Teddy Coat From Glassons
Teddy Coats are defs the aesthetic of the VSCO girl. If you’re unsure about sizes, just go for the largest one they have, because the VSCO girl will love the oversized look paired with her crop top and denim jeans.
3. Birkenstock Sandals
The Birk is one trend that leaves, comes back, leaves, and comes back again. Guess what, it’s back rn, and they are soooo VSCO girl. When thinking colours, think boho – so your taupes, your sands, and your browns. They’ll pair perfectly with the teddy coat and velvet scrunchie.
4. Baby Yoda Plush Toy
You don’t need a tracking fob to find new items inspired by The Child from #TheMandalorian.

The VSCO girl is about to take Baby Yoda and run with it. She’s going to take that sumb*tch and make it the new Hello Kitty/Adventure Time. The VSCO girl will die for this toy, and it’ll be the focal point of all her Instagram stories. However, once she’s quizzed on what franchise Baby Yoda is from, the VSCO girl will get quiet real quick…
5. Mario Badescu Rosewater Spray
The VSCO girl LOVES a skincare routine. If she can add it, she will, and a Rosewater spray is every bit as fantastic as it is useless. If you get this for a VSCO girl she will mist herself until the cows come home. She’d mist at school, in traffic, and on TikTok, flaunting that oh-so-adorable pink bottle.
6. TikTok Equipment
I don’t even have to question it. The VSCO girl definitely has a TikTok account and she’s got a vast range of vids to choose from. Getting the VSCO girl some filming equipment will elevate her TikTok game to 10/10, and that’s most definitely a gift worth giving her this Christmas.
A tripod, ring-light or even a green screen will launch her TikTok career and get her front and centre on the FY page.
7. Metal Straws
Metal straws are like crack to VSCO girls. They would rather lose all their TikTok followers than be caught dead drinking out of a plastic straw. After all, saving the turtles is a VSCO girl’s life mission.
A VSCO girl can never have too many metal straws, as she’s always using them at either Chatime, Top Juice or her favVVV indie smoothie place: Boost.
8. Disposable Camera
The VSCO girl definitely has a private Instagram account where she uploads all of her disposable pics. You might think that a Polaroid would be more the VSCO vibe, but that’s sooo 2018. Film for disposable cameras are waaay cheaper, and they look all the way nicer on the Instagram feed. Trust us, get this for her for Xmas and she will go nuts.
9. Scrunchies
You might be thinking “nah I don’t need to get this for my VSCO friend, she already has a scrunchie!” – well think again! She might have a HAIR scrunchie, but does she have an ARM scrunchie? And even if she does, does she have scrunchies for her CAR GEAR HANDLE? Exactly, get her on that Lara Jean vibe.
10. Carmex
The VSCO girl goes through Carmex more than smokers go through decks. Having chapped lips is so not on trend, because you never know when you’ll be smooching. The VSCO girl doesn’t go for PawPaw, Burt’s Bees, or any other dumb ‘ish like that, she is a true Emma Chamberlain fan, and will always opt for the Carmex.
11. Airpods
Cords?! For a VSCO girl?! Don’t make me laugh! If your VSCO girl doesn’t have AirPods already, get on that. They’re perfect for tanning, going to the beach, and sitting in a café drinking iced almond milk latte’s.
12. Olaplex
We both know that your favourite VSCO girl has some type of hair dying mishap. Whether she’s gone blonde, dark brown, or ombre, Olaplex is definitely something she needs (not spons). For Xmas, get her shampoo and conditioner as a minimum, so her hair isn’t looking ratchet and dry in her stories.
