Teenager Christmas Presents?!?
DH's younger brother and sister are teenagers now and I have absolutely no idea what to buy them for Christmas. His brother is in 9th grade and loves football and hunting but everything he wants is too expensive for us to get him (we have 20 immediate family members to buy for so price is limited!). His sister is 12 (not a teenager but close enough) and quite bratty so the snarky part of me doesn't want to buy her anything because she's so rude but that's just my b*tchy side coming out. Anyways, neither DH or I really know what she is into and she won't give us any suggestions so I turn to you ladies. I could just slip them each a $20 and call it good but that might appear tacky. What would your younger self want for Christmas this year??
Hey, Hey Hockeytown!

Re: Teenager Christmas Presents?!?
My oldest nephew is 15. He goes to Burger King a lot with his friends because its within walking distance from his house. We always get him a BK gift card and an iTunes gift card. It's probably really lame but the things he wants are so darn expensive!
Could you do something like that? Is there a store they like a lot? Or do thy go to the movies a lot?
I think attempting to buy presents for a teenager is a bad idea.
I have 4 nephews/cousins who are middle school age - I bought them all a $25 Best Buy gift card and a box of candy so they still have something to unwrap. Simple - easy for me and who doesn't like gift cards?
Thats, in my opinion, the best option for teenagers. There's so many options at BB (movies, cds, ipod accessories, video games etc.) for them to choose from. I remember as a teen people would get me crap I didn't need when all I wanted was a GC so I could pick out what I wanted.
