If there’s one generation that often leaves people mystified, it’s Generation Z, you know that generation which loves to use humour to deal with sticky situations that is also known for its ironic championing of self-love (because we all know how self-deprecating they can be). Being made up of so many sub-groups makes pin-pointing what these folks – born between the years 1997 to 2012 – are truly interested in even harder. Ahead, our round up of the best gifts for any Gen Z-er that are anything but cringy (because if TikTok loves it, it’s good enough for us).
