Gifts for younger teens

Anyone have any insight into what 13-15 year olds are into?

Ughhhh every year I have to shop for my nieces and nephews, and every year I try to find something that they will actually use.

Last year I did pretty well with North Face Tech Gloves for all of them (allows you to use your iphone/ipad while wearing the glove).

This year I was thinking about this camera enhancement lens for their iPhones:

but I usually spend $50 on each. They are not really into $$ and I worry that if I get them a gift card that their parents won't take them to spend it. (Seriously I have had that happen in the past).

Anyone have any unique ideas for teens besides $$ and gift cards?

Thanks!!! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I have a 14 year old girl. Last year a friend of mine gave her a coach wristlet and she loves it. It does get harder to buy as the years go by though.

If they have iphones you can do that kit and an iTunes gift card. They can load it right from their phones so it will surely be used!!

My niece is 11 (but going on 21) and she's the hardest to shop for!
I got her a Juicy Couture iPhone case from L&T on sale, and a sweater from Abercrombie

Make up from a name brand in neutral colors.
At that age name brand kind of things are popular, so a nice sweater might work.

Re: Gifts for younger teens

Thanks everyone for the suggestions! Chat Icon There is one girl and 3 boys… Last year I got my niece a coach purse, maybe I will do makeup for her… But the boys are impossible! I was also considering one of these skins for their iPads and/or laptops…

and maybe cologne? Can anyone suggest some "starter" colognes lol? Maybe one of the Hollister or Abercrombie scents?
