Happy day after Thanksgiving! Does the rush to get ready for Christmas start for you now? I know things start for me but I am hoping not to rush too much.
It's so hard to know what to buy for teenagers that will delight them at Christmas. Those 2 words don't even go together - delight/teen.
Here are my best finds, I hope they give you some helpful ideas:
Girls - Instant camera. Fuji makes a great little instant camera that is reminisent of the instant cameras I had growing up. www.amazon.com/Fujifilm-mini
They also have a cool little printer that prints photos from a smart phone on the same instant camer film. www.amazon.com/Fujifilm-INSTAXprinter
The selfie crazed teen girls will love both of these.
Texting gloves. If you live in a cold climate you know that the challenge of texting or using your phone in the cold is a challenge that is real. Your always connected girl will thank you for these gloves.
Boys - Drone. It is crazy how inexpensive these have become and it will be a favorite with teen boys on your gift giving list. Just imagine if they came home with this video ...

Have a boy on your list who would like to learn programming and coding? Rasberry Pi peaked my interest and I know it's on the hot list for teens again this year. Get more info here www.raspberrypi.org/help/videos/
Last but not least for both boys and girls Bean boots are back. Also known as duck boots they were also a favorite when I was a kid.
What are you thinking of for the teens on your holiday shopping list? I'd love to hear more ideas!
Hi Wendy, Thanks for stopping by my blog. :) You're right- the words "delight
ReplyDeleteand "teen" do not go together. Sometimes I long for the days when my kids were younger, because it seems like joy came a lot easier. Nice to meet you!
