The Ultimate Wishlists from Real Teens
Are you stuck on what to get the teen in your life? You're not alone. Teens can be notoriously tough to shop for, often shrugging off questions about what they want with a simple "I don't know" or "money." But, we've got the inside scoop. We asked teens themselves to spill the beans on their festive wishlist, and the results are in.
Experiences Over Material Gifts
Many teens are prioritizing experiences over material gifts, and it's clear that they're looking for ways to make memories with friends and family. "I generally prefer spending quality time with family and friends over being given more 'stuff'," says Sienna, 13, who loves playing games with friends and attending Comic-Con with her mom.
If you're looking to gift an experience, consider a Ticketmaster voucher for a concert or event. Alexandra, 13, is still dreaming of reliving Taylor Swift's concert magic with her friends. Alternatively, look into local activities, like tabletop gaming or crafting, that you can enjoy together.
Tech and Gadgets
Teens are tech-savvy and love gadgets that make life easier, more fun, or help them express themselves. Top tech picks include:
- Smartwatches, like the Amazfit Bip 6, for fitness and staying organized
- Instant cameras for capturing selfies and memories
- Keyboard and headphones for music-making
- TVs and gaming consoles for entertainment
Fashion and Beauty
Teens are also fashion-conscious and love expressing themselves through clothing and beauty products. Popular picks include:
- White Fox hoodies and matching joggers
- Nike Air Max trainers
- Hair waviers and curlers for styling
- Makeup and skincare products
Hobbies and Interests
Many teens are passionate about music, sports, and other hobbies, and love gifts that fuel these interests. Consider:
- A three-quarter-size acoustic guitar for budding musicians
- Football goals and equipment for athletes
- Magic: The Gathering cards and other collectibles
The Perfect Gift
Whether you're shopping for a music lover, a fashionista, or an athlete, there's something on this list for everyone. And, with many teens prioritizing experiences and quality time, consider gifting an experience or activity you'll enjoy together.
