Top 6 Christmas Gift Ideas for Teens

We’ve simply got to share these great Christmas gift ideas for the teen in your life. Teenagers are typically a challenge to shop for, and there are several reasons. First, they may already be working and earning their own money - so, why wouldn’t they just buy what they want when they want it? They are actually the main demographic with all disposable income. They have very few bills, if any (just putting gas in the car, right?) This makes them a prime target for marketing. They can truly afford to buy what stores are selling. You can bet Amazon.com has them analyzed and displays products to them on a heavy rotation.

The second reason they are hard to buy for is because they have very particular tastes. How many times have you seen a cute shirt for the teen girl in your life, bought it, and had her roll her eyes at your choice. Do that one time and you will not purchase clothes for her again. Sheesh. With the gift card business booming, it seems that is the most convenient way to gift a teen. But, statistics show that many gift cards do not actually get redeemed. “Yay” for the business that sold it to you, “Boo” for the recipient who didn’t really get a gift.

This year, let’s put some thought into our teenager’s gift and help them think of us each time they use their fun (and useful) new item. Here are six that are sure to please. And, yes, most of them can be purchased at amazon.com (ironic, eh?).

1. White Noise Sound Machine to drown out noisy family members, or supply soothing sounds to help them get a good night’s sleep (Amazon)
2. Bedside Caddy to act as a bedside table (Amazon)
3. Cordless Screwdriver that's easy to use and compact for easy storage (Amazon)
4. Bluetooth Speaker with Alarm Clock so they can drift off to the sound of a crackling fire and wake up on time (Amazon)
5. Quick Drying Shower Sandals for use now at the pool, and in the future at communal dorm showers (Amazon)
6. Essential Oil Roll-ons smell amazing and will increase courage, induce relaxation, or speed up recovery from a cold so they can focus on their studies (Young Living)
