Christmas buying, according to the MHS Blog Staff:
Christmas time is right around the corner, and with that comes one of the hardest jobs a parent can have– picking out the right gift for their teen! If your kids are like me then it is really hard to pick out a gift for them because they usually don’t know what they want. But do not fret parents, because I am here to give you some great gift ideas for your teen!
Clothes and shoes, your teen might not ask for clothes and shoes, but trust me. Your teen will appreciate them. Things that teens like nowadays are Air Force 1’s, sweat pants, pajamas, etc. You can get clothes and shoes just about anywhere and the prices can range anywhere from $10 to $100. It really depends on where you look.
A Bluetooth speaker would make a great gift for any teen in your life. A Bluetooth speaker is a device that you can connect to your phone and play music, movies, youtube, and more. The Bluetooth speaker that I’m talking about is great because it doubles as a nightlight, and an alarm as well as a speaker! This speaker can be bought on Amazon for $38.
Headphones/earbuds are also a great gift to get your teens. Most teens listen to music throughout the day, so why not get them a pair of headphones or earbuds so they can listen to their favorite music in peace and not bother the people around them! Headphones/earbuds are also one of those things that you can just about get anywhere. However, Apple earbuds have become popular as of late and can cost anywhere from $129 to $249 depending on which generation you get, and the newly released Apple headphones are $549. There are cheaper options elsewhere though like Best Buy carries a lot of different options for earbuds and headphones.
Something else that is not often asked for, but is very much needed in a teen room is a charging station. A charging station is a device that has charging spots for your iPhone, Airpods, and Apple Watch all while keeping your stuff in one place and organized! A lot of them you can find on Amazon, with prices ranging anywhere from $16 to $50. A perfect gift for your teen or yourself!
Last but not least, the perfect gift to get your teen if you don’t know what to get them… a visa gift card. The reason that a visa gift card is so great is that you can give it to your teen and they can buy anything they want with it! So you don’t have to worry about getting the “perfect” gift, let your teen pick! You can get a Visa gift card from Walmart, Target, Sam’s, and Kroger, and prices can vary, ranging from $50 to $500. Your teen will appreciate a Visa gift card. Merry Christmas!
