33 Best Gifts for Teens

Alexandra F.:  My teen adores his Bombas. I splurged on them once as a gift, and now he specifically requests them any time he needs new socks. He likes how comfortable they are, and I like that they last him waaaaaay longer than any other socks (which he typically destroys in a matter of months). But, since they are so pricey, that means he only gets them for special occasions!

Vanessa M.:  Have you seen teens and young adults playing Spikeball at the park lately? I have! It looks like a lot of fun! Spikeball is a 4 player game with rules similar to volleyball. Great for playing outside, inside, at the beach, wherever!

Vanessa M.:  Teens will get a kick out of trying British candy bars, delivered to them directly from the UK! The Cadbury Great British Treats Gift Box offers a selection of 10 full sized candy bars in Britain's favorite varieties. With fun names like Wispa, Curly Wurly, and Double Decker, this box makes a yummy gift teens would be thrilled to receive.

Kristy Pepping:  This product we purchased for our two older children. They wanted to display photos of friends and art projects they have created. The nice part about the hanger is a child can easily add or remove photos or other treasures often. We bought some clothespins to use as hangers off these boards.

Alexandra F.:  This combination fidget toy and puzzle cube is addicting for all ages, and would be an awesome gift for teens or older kids who love puzzles and brainteasers. Be aware that it's made out of 36 rare-earth magnets, and as with all magnets, should be kept away from children who might put them in their mouths.

Vanessa M.:  This stylish winter hat will do more than keep teen's ears warm; it also incorporates the latest Bluetooth technology so they can listen to music with the built in wireless speakers! It's perfect for waiting at the bus stop, jogging in the cold, or being out and about. The built in Bluetooth microphone allows users to make phone calls as well. Unisex hat is washable (just remove the speakers first).

Tim Ponisciak:  This is a great board game for teens to play with their friends. The object of the game is make the best match between an adjective card and a noun card. Depending on the friends you are playing with the game will either be taken very seriously, or will make everyone laugh out loud!

Tracy Snyder Molina:  My teen and tween boys pooled their money together to purchase the new Oculus Quest 2. It's an amazing VR headset that truly immerses you in the VR experience or game you've chosen. I was a bit of a skeptic but after trying it out for myself I have to admit that the technology is pretty amazing and really makes you feel like you are truly part of the action instead of just standing in your living room. Who couldn't use a bit of that with all the time we are spending at home these days? It does require creating a Facebook account, but my 14-year-old was able to do that with minimal information required.

Carly Follett:  This wireless speaker is multi-functional and super versatile. It is bluetooth-enabled and compatible with any smart device. The speaker offers a handsfree talk feature and remote for long distance use and can be used in the shower, pool, on the beach, in the car and basically anywhere!

These premium colored pencils are sleek and color nicely for the teen who appreciates the art of coloring. Don't forget to pair with a nice adult coloring book for a relaxing activity you can never really outgrow!

Vanessa M.:  Teens love Starbucks! Give the teen in your life a personalized, reusable Starbucks cup with his or her name and favorite drink on it. Maybe tuck a Starbucks gift card inside, and you have a great gift any teen would love.

Vanessa M.:  Bike Wheel Lights look cool, and also help bike riders stay safe at night. Each battery powered string of LED lights is made of waterproof tubing, and comes in a variety of colors.

Alexandra F.:  Make it easy for your teen to print pictures straight from their phone with this mobile photo mini printer.

Vanessa M.:  The Chillbo Shwaggins Inflatable Couch is perfect for a teen's bedroom or hangout and comes in a variety of fun colors and prints. It also floats on water so it makes a great pool accessory! Teens can bring it camping, to festivals, backyard bbq's, or just keep it in their room as a place to chill with friends.

Katie G.:  Let's be honest, kids lose things all the time, so spending money on expensive wireless earbuds is out of the question. These less expensive buds are comfortable and functional with a long-lasting battery life. Your teen will be thrilled to zone out in their phone or tablet with these wireless earbuds.
