There a babies, little children and adults. Then there are those coming up from their adolescent stage. The teenagers! We all know what it feels like to be a teen. You are no longer a little child, but you are not a fully-fledged adult either. Being caught in-between these two stages is not enough, teenagers are constantly changing, finding themselves and their unique identities in this world.
Getting a gift for a teen is a challenging feat. The first minute they are in love with this pop star and the next minute they are into classical ballet or FIFA Football. Not to mention all the different phases they go through from emo to preppy or grunge. The list is extensive. Find out what the teen you are buying the present for is interested in at that moment, the rest will sort itself out. For those of you struggling in the teen gifting department, here are some of the best gifts you could give a teenager:
1. Mini Fridge
What do almost all teens have in common? A ravenous appetite! Getting a teen, a mini fridge will surely be received with glee in the 21st century. Order a trendy looking mini fridge with cute pastel colours for girls or darker ombrè shades for guys. The guys can pack it up with drinks and snacks. Most girls on the other hand will probably fill their mini-fridges with various creams and skin-care products, and of course some chocolates.
2. Shoulder Bags
This one is for the girls. Not just any girl, the teenage fashionista! And not just any old shoulder bag, the fluffy shoulder bag is on trend in 2021. I am not exaggerating when stating that it has become a staple accessory in most fashion forward teen girls. It can be styled with various looks, from chic elegance to edgy.
3. Bed Phone Holder
Teenagers are constantly on their phones. Half the time they have problems falling asleep because they have trouble putting their phones down. Sometimes it can be annoying for them to hold their phone above their face for long hours of the night. A bed phone holder will surely be appreciated by almost every teen on this planet.
4. Moon Lamps
Moon lamps are totally on trend this year. It is basically an elevated night light. If you have ever checked out your Tik Tok for you page, you would know just how many teens are absolutely obsessed with these. Especially those who love to stay up late and day-dream.
5. Reusable and Recycled Items
Environmental awareness has caused teens around the world to make more conscious choices. You can also make sure that the teens around you are playing their part in protecting the earth. You can do this by purchasing eco friendly gifts, such as reusable straws in various colours, an eco-pen pack or sustainable clothes. Hand over the gift in a reusable tote bag or brown paper bag.
