Gift Guide 2014 | For Teens

O – M – G! Like, could teenagers be any more cray cray to shop for? Like, totes hard. So hopefully this guide will help if you happen to have a preteen or teen rolling their eyes and burying their face in an iPhone when you ask about a Christmas list. These gifts are sure to make all their friends jells bells for reals.

Teens

  1. I believe the secret to teen gifts is treating them like they are older than they actually are. A quality gift and a brand name goes a long way with teenagers. They’ll always respect you for getting them a good razor for pre-teen stubble rather than a set of legos. So with that in mind, it doesn’t get classier than a Mason Pearson Hair Brush. I’ve had mine for as long as I can remember. Trust me on this, it’s worth the price. You’ll never buy another hair brush again.
  2. This is the only “the 80s are back” trend I would ever recommend. A pair of classic black Ray-Ban Sunglasses are perfect for rocking that teen angst look. Just don’t ever tell them that you once wore a pair while break-dancing to Duran Duran.
  3. A coveted eye palette, Urban Decay’s Naked contains 12 shadows with a super soft brush. Long lasting with subtle shimmer for hours of selfies.
  4. With a 20-hour rechargeable battery in a variety of bold colors, Beats by Dr. Dre is still the best headphones money can buy- and yes, they will cost you a pretty penny.
  5. Is there anything teens love more than selfies? Maybe just instant gratification. And with a Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Instant Film Camera they can have both! Again, available in a variety of bold colors. Do teens have something against neutrals?
  6. It’s geek chic at it’s finest- a wood watch makes the perfect hipster fashion statement.
  7. It’s impossible to have too many nail polishes! A bold color (remember, no neutrals!) and a touch of sparkle from Butter London will be a hit at any age.
