Maybe fidget toys! You can personalize them if you’d like with favorite colors, etc and they have a purpose. I like Cable and Canvas’ “popping” mushrooms a LOT (very clear and well written pattern!!) and there’s also popping bubbles and even fidget slugs floating around! I believe the fidget slug pattern I saw was by Complicated Knots on youtube. It is definitely more complex
but I think you get the idea! Good luck and happy crocheting!

Do you know what their into or they’re aesthetics? You can kind of crochet something based off that. Anything immigrumi is really cute and I feel like anyone would like it. Just remember it’s coming from you so they’re going to love it.

I made a cat beanie for my cousin who’s around that age for Christmas, and she loved it! There are some really cute patterns for them on here.
You could also make small plant/cactus plushies, like for room decor!
It took me 2 tries to do her Fidget Slug. But it was worth it in the end. It’s really fun to play with!

Last time I saw them, I’m pretty sure they liked blue and green but that was also like 3 years before covid
