Getting teens away from their favorite video games can be a challenge. Finding Christmas gifts that they will spend time with can be a chore if you don’t know what the teenager’s interests are. Not all teens are going to like the same things, so consider the normal activities of the teenager you are shopping for to buy something that won’t end up at the back of the closet.
Christmas gift ideas for teenage boys:
If your gift recipient likes gadgets, there are lots of new ideas on the market. Consider a science based gift, like a magnifying camera or a Pet’s Eye View Camera. This is a camera that goes on the family pet’s collar and records what he sees during the day. This can be an enlightening look into how your pet spends his day!
Remote control airplanes are sure to get him out and moving. These are available in a wide variety of styles and prices so you can spend as little or as much as you want. These offer lots more entertainment than the traditional remote control vehicles that never take off!
Depending on his interests, consider gifting him with sports equipment, skateboard or surfing gear, or tickets to a sporting event or concert.
Driving lessons can give you peace of mind, and allow your teen to learn from a professional instructor—consider this a gift for you both!
Christmas gifts for teenage girls:
If you have a teen girl to buy for who loves to dress up and fix up her hair, get her personal care items like a great hair dryer, straightener, or curling iron. Nail polishes and perfumes or bath and body care products that are scented with light fragrances appropriate for teens are also favorites.
A salon gift card or a gift card for a favorite store will be well received—and allow her to pick out the latest styles in the size or color she needs.
Many teenage girls consider their rooms to be their own creations and they love to add items like novelty pillow and unusual lights. A great bean bag or butterfly chair can also be a good choice. A novelty board or a mirror with a corked edge is a great place for her to put her friends’ pictures or to put the photos of her favorite rock stars.
Jewelry is also a good choice, especially necklaces and bracelets that are personalized with her name. Purses or clothing items can be personalized as well.
Christmas gifts any teenager will love:
A digital camera is a great idea for teens and if it plugs directly into its own printer, it is even better. Cell phones and laptops are obvious choices for any teen who loves electronics, and what teen doesn’t? But before you decide on the obvious choice, check out some of the new and unusual items available. Don’t have a head for electronics? Have your teen make out a list of all the things he/she is interested in. Teens always know what the latest trends are and the more they list, the more surprised they will be with your pick from the list!
