If you have a teenager on our Christmas list this year, you already know how hard it can be to shop for them. You might think that you’ll just get your teen a CD, but then you realize you don’t know exactly which ones he already has. Maybe you’re considering getting him a nice shirt, but then you realize that you don’t have the first idea how to pick out a shirt that he’ll actually wear. This business of shopping for teenagers is not for the faint of heart.
Before you give up and resort to giving your teen cash, here are a few other options that make gift-giving a little simpler. Check these out; they just might be perfect for the teenager in your family.
Car Care Basket – Every teenager with a car will appreciate a gift that allows them to pamper their ride. Stuff a canvas tote with car accessories like cleaning wipes or air fresheners. You might even want to splurge and include a small vacuum that can be plugged into the car’s power outlet or cigarette lighter.
Music Service Subscriptions – The popularity of iPods and other MP3 players have made music services like iTunes or Rhapsody almost a necessity for teenagers. Give your teen an entire month of music for around $15.
Teen Reading – The days of searching to find age-appropriate recreational reading for your teenager are long gone, fortunately. Now there are tons of books (and series of books) available that are suited for boys and girls. Don’t be bashful about asking the help desk at your favorite book store to recommend something for you if you aren’t sure what to pick.
Gadgets – While you probably aren’t going to rush out and buy your teen the latest technology gifts out there, you can’t go wrong by buying a gadget gift. Look for decorative flash drives featuring covers in the shape of a tiger or panda or other drives that feature trendy designs, colors, or even cartoon characters.
Room Accessories – Every teenager loves to find ways to express his individuality in his own room. Look for fun room accessories like Clocky, the runaway clock, that wanders away if your teen doesn’t get up and turn it off each morning.
