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!
Why 'My Middleton Chronicles'? Middleton happens to be a family name. For this blog that name is fitting, I am in what should be the middle of my life and will chronicle my mid-life adventures (and yes it sometimes is an adventure) here. Welcome and thanks for checking out my blog.

The Challenge of Buying Gifts For Teens

Microblog Monday - Holiday Dessert
![]() |
| Looks so good! |
Apple Pie is a staple at my house and a couple of us in the family also like a nice slice of Pumpkin Pie. I am thinking about getting a French Press to step up my coffee game. Is it worth it? If you have one please let me know your thoughts.
Most years I buy cookies from a local business to dress up the table and to have a little something extra around. That's what Thanksgiving is all about. It's that day to be thankful, to spend time with family and friends and to have a great feast to celebrate it all.
What's on your holiday dessert menu?
Stay tuned for more from My Middleton Chronicles.
