Purchasing presents for teenagers can be a problem, particularly if you do not know teenagers very well. The difficulty with teenagers is that some are more grown up than others and if you do not know the person very well, you do not know whether to tend towards the adult or the child. However, you can always purchase a ‘little bit older’ knowing that if you have not judged the mental age accurately, then they will mentally grow into the present.
There are a couple of classic gifts that teenagers feel are not too young for them, presents that make them feel grown up. These gifts are not in any particular order.
A watch is always helpful – a small dainty watch for a girl and a big chunky thing for a boy. It does not matter whether it is wind-up, automatic or battery and it does not have to be one of the very expensive names, but it is better if it is pretty famous like a Seiko.
A chain, necklace or bracelet of precious metal will be appreciated by any teen, but especially by girls. Nine carat gold or silver is not that expensive, but it will hold its value. A St Christopher can make a good present for someone who is religious or not.
Teenagers like clothing and shoes, but it is best to keep the clothing on the casual side. Like trainers instead of shoes or a T-shirt rather than a shirt with a collar, a hoodie rather than a jacket. A leather belt is also worth considering.
Sunglasses are usually appreciated, but it is vital to get the style correct. Enquire of the parents of the teenager which designer label the teenager prefers.
Music is a classic present for a teenager, but there is such a choice of media to play it on nowadays. Perhaps a present voucher from a big high street record store that also has an on line presence is best. That way, they can either buy a CD or download the music from the Internet onto their MP3 player.
An atmospheric lamp can be a good present if the teenager spends a great deal of time in his or her room. Lava lamps and optic fibre lamps are just the ticket.
Something for the computer. Most teens have a computer, so you could buy a web cam, a wireless mouse or a wireless keyboard. Or a new computer game. If the teen has a laptop, they might appreciate a new laptop case or carrying bag. Laptops do come with a carrying bag, but they take quite a bashing and soon become frayed and scruffy.
A good quality pen. Not many people use fountain pens nowadays, but they are still a good gift. It may encourage the teen to tidy up his or her handwriting otherwise a famous-name biro, but it is certainly not the same as a classic fountain pen and a bottle of ink. You could add a blotter to this little package too as no-one appears to have one any more.
