Frequently asked questions
3. Books
Giving books as presents is classic. Often times teenagers love to read but refuse to spend saved-up money on a book, so you can help them out this Christmas. Pick books that you think he or she should read or just look up reviews for teen novels online. A bookmark is also a great way to please the bookworm in your life.
4. Clothes
You can never go wrong with buying clothes as gifts because teens love clothes. They are in the middle of finding their personal style, which makes it really fun to choose clothes for them. If you are aware of an item that your teen has been eyeing for weeks, go for it. However, if you don’t want to risk buying a bad gift, just get them a gift card to their favorite clothing store.
5. Jewelry
This gift idea may apply more toward girls because you know what they say, ‘diamonds are a girl’s best friend’. However, there is no need to spend a fortune on diamonds. It’s absolutely possible to get a quality jewelry piece at an affordable price. And jewelry for teen boys isn't all that hard to find these days either. Something handmade is always a thoughtful gift idea.
6. Tech Accessories
If you've been noticing that your teen has been complaining about a cracked iPod or a broken cell phone case, this is your opportunity to get a useful gift. Something to make their tech gadgets more fun and practical will always create a smile on Christmas morning.
7. Anything Personalized
A personalized gift comes from the heart and is a good way to choose something that your teen will love, but that has an age-appropriate personal touch as well. There are loads of things you can personalize, so the sky is the limit.

Andreea: Also,buying clothes or jewelry to a teenager can be the biggest mistake ever,they are very pretentious, vouchers and gift cards are better,because they can chose what they want. Another good idea can be buying merchandise of their favorite band/show/movie.
Louise: I\'m 13 and books a definite down side to me. Wouldn\'t recommend it if your not sure
Andreea: Books will always make the perfect gift. It's the equivalent of gifting knowledge. Of course it depends a lot on the book,not all teenagers like books like twilight that are poor written. Bigger authors or well known novels are always better.
Susan: I'm 13 and my favorite hing on this list would most definitely be books, not jewelry and clothes (I don't like those kinds of things)

Sarah: Greatest gifts for sure! Where can I get that Polaroid camera?!
Kaitlyn: I disagree. You can never go right buying a teenager clothes. My style changes every month, so people know better not to buy me clothes. Get them money so they can pick then out themselves!
Hannah: I feel like this articles ideas really vary from person to person, like I don't like to read books because I'm dyslexic, but my best friend is an avid reader so I guess you really have to know the teenager your presenting the present with
