Most teenagers like to make a statement with the clothes they wear, the music they listen to and the celebrities they idolize. Teenagers also have a wide range of interests and hobbies, from video games to movies to outdoor sports. When selecting a gift for a teenager, it's important, whenever possible, to choose your gift with his interests and personality in mind.
Teen Practical Gifts
-
A practical gift doesn't have to be boring. There are a range of practical gifts that you can choose for a teenager for a birthday, holiday or special occasion such as a graduation or to celebrate a special accomplishment. Clothing, accessories or items that you know the teen needs are good ways to go. Or choose a gift that you know the teen would like, such as a new paint job for a used car that Mom and Dad gave him for his 16th birthday.
Teen Personalized Gifts
-
Create a personalized gift for a teenager for a present that he will love. Use a program such as Photoshop (or download freeware software like GIMP) to devise a "cool" poster design that can be printed by a print shop (office suppliers such as Staples print posters also) that he can hang on his bedroom wall. Other items that you can personalize are T-shirts, sweatshirts and jerseys. Websites such as Zazzle and CafePress allow for uploading of text/designs on specific products. A bracelet or other piece of jewelry can also be personalized to fit the occasion, such as adding a birthday message.
Teen Game Gifts
-
Most teenagers are technologically savvy and enjoy playing video games, going online to talk to friends and watching the latest teen movie. Consider a gift card to a video store or a movie theater or purchase the latest video game that you know he wants. You can also buy a subscription to a gaming site such as Pogo, where he can play games to his heart's delight.
