Gift Ideas for Today's Teenager

Shopping for gifts can be very easy or very difficult. Most times it depends on the recipient - is this someone who is clear about they like or are they vague and non-committal? If you are stuck in a tough spot where you have to buy a gift for the latter, you may want to give up and just give cash instead. We've all considered it or done it at least once - shopping for that one person was just too difficult because you couldn't come up with what to get them so you gave in and gave cash instead. Don't feel too poorly. This happens surprisingly often but there are things you can do to help yourself without stressing yourself.

One of the most difficult demographic of people to go gift shopping for is teenagers. They barely have themselves figured out so good luck to you trying to figure out what they like.  Trends within the teenage world are ever changing and have short shelf lives. What a teenager is into today, will offend them upon mention tomorrow. Not to purport that they are fickle in the least, just so busy trying to find themselves that they often can offer little help in choosing things they want. They are certain about many things, but where gifts are concerned, you want to make sure that you have the specific individual in mind. This may take a little investigation but if you're giving this person a gift, they are worth it.

A good place to go looking for gifts and gift ideas for today's modern and discerning teenager is the popular Barnes and Noble store. Barnes and Noble coupons for books and music take the work out of your hand without presenting a gift that is dismissive. If you have an avid reader or a music fan teenager to purchase a gift for, they will enjoy use of these coupons to pick out exactly what they like.


Here are a couple other gift ideas for the teenager in your life who is almost impossible to figure out!

1. The Livescribe 4g Echo Smartpen is an excellent gift for any teenage student. It is a unisex gift which we love because it takes the hassle out of searching for a gift that is specific to a boy or a girl. This pen is a student's magic wand, with several capabilities meant to assist and make light of usually troublesome tasks. The pen will work out sums that are written down and display the answers on its LCD screen. It will also record narration for easy play back after lectures, so your teenager can put 100% focus on absorbing the material instead of trying desperately to remember it. The pen will also launch apps when the name of the app is written. For those teenagers who enjoy their privacy, the contents of the pen's memory can be passworded. This is a wonderful gift!

2. The Paisley Designs Coloring Book might have you furrowing a brow at first. What teenager will want a coloring book? Anyone with a sense of creativity and a love of art. The book is a cover to cover explosion of intricate paisley designs that are meant to challenge and inspire the young artist to personalize premade designs by infusing them with color. Your teenager will really enjoy this one!
