The holidays are here and let’s face it. Gift shopping is not easy. Especially for teenagers who hide in their room all day looking at their computer. Being a teenager myself I decided to help you out and comprise a list of the perfect gifts for any teen!

 

Cool Shoes:

Everyone loves a good pair of sneakers and there’s tons of them that are especially popular among the teens these days. Your best bet would be adidas superstars or stan smiths, but there’s also some super cool nikes, pumas, converse, and more. If you’re lost, just check out Urban Outfitters’ online shoe section, they have tons of shoes that any teen would love!

 

Bluetooth Speaker:

A great gift for any teenager would be a bluetooth speaker. They’re great for when you have friends over, cleaning your room, or even listening to music in the shower (yes, teenagers do this). You can also find bluetooth speakers anywhere; walmart, target, best buy, or amazon.

 

Concert/ Event Tickets:

Tickets to their favorite band, team, or amusement park is a great gift idea for most anyone. Get tickets for them and friend, or if you’re the friend get tickets for both of you. Depending on what the teen is into, you can decide what they might want. Also, a sneaky trick for concert tickets: if you know their spotify username, you can look them up and see who they listen to and surprise them!

 

Beats:

I know that these headphones tend to be expensive, but if you want to splurge on your friend/ child this year, most kids would love a pair of beats headphones. They are semi overrated, but super cool nonetheless. Plus, who doesn’t love listening to music and looking cool while doing it. You could buy a pair second hand online for a cheaper option, or buy the new cordless ones. Either way, they make a great gift!

 

Gift Cards:

Gift cards may are a less sincere gift for teens. If you don’t know this person that well, or just don’t know what they like at all, go for a visa gift card, they can just buy anything they like. If you have an idea of what they may want, get a gift card to their favorite store, restaurant, or even iTunes. It’s something you won’t have to put a lot of thought into, but it’s guaranteed to be loved and used!
