Teenagers. They know what they like and what they don’t, and aren’t afraid to show it. And when it comes to what’s hot and what’s not, they’re way more clued up than us cheugy types.
It’s this that can make buying for them a hell of a struggle. If a teen doesn’t like something, chances are they’ll say so, which can make picking Christmas pressies seriously stressful. We’ve all gifted a teenager something we think they’ll love, only for them to ask to swap it a few minutes later.
But we’re here to save you from that moment – you don’t just have to resort to money or a voucher. Despite how treacherous buying for teens can seem, it’s possible to pick a gift they’ll not only like but might actually, whisper it, LOVE.
Panic not, when it comes to shopping for teens, we’ve got you covered.
