Five 'Cool' Categories of Teen Gifts

Buying Christmas gifts for the resident teenager(s) can be a daunting task... so the following guide might make your job a little easier.

Teen gifts are sure to impress if you make sure they fall into one of the following categories:

Best Teen Gifts #1: MUSIC

There probably isn't a teenager alive today that doesn't love music! A gift certificate that they can spend on a favorite band's newest CD's will always be welcome. Or better yet... check out Every Ticket to see if you can scoop concert tickets so they can hear one of their favorite groups LIVE.

Best Teen Gifts #2: FOOD

Another universal theme among teenagers is, of course, food. The Popcorn Factory has tons of options... check it out.

Best Teen Gifts #3: FUN

For younger teens, visit Spilsbury's for puzzles, games and other unique teen gifts... for hours and hours of fun stuff for teens.

If your teen's idea of fun is sports, The Lighter Side has pages and pages of sports-related stuff that would make great teen gifts. Just click on 'Sports Items' on the left nav bar when you get to the site.

Best Teen Gifts #4: IMPRESSING THEIR FRIENDS

Most teens yearn to be the 'coolest of the cool,' and if they can impress their friends, they're there! If they don't yet have an iPod, getting them one is a no-brainer -- in terms of coolness. If they do have one, then you can give them the newest iPod accessories.

Best Teen Gifts #5: APPAREL

Teens with the coolest clothes are often the coolest kids. Firefighting garb is very hot this year, so at Chief Supply, you're sure to find teen-pleasing apparel for every budget.
