How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Gift Guide For A Teen, By A Teen!

in Lifestyle on 12/11/17

Christmas is coming up in less than a month and if you are like me and just starting your shopping now, hopefully, I can help you out! As a teen, I know that other teens can be some of the hardest people to shop for on the planet, so here is my ultimate gift guide.  Our top picks for your picky teen that “can’t think of what they want” this holiday season!

For the teenage daughter:

$45 S’well Water Bottle from Indigo.  An amazing water bottle that keeps contents warm or cold for up to 12 hours!  (and it looks cute too!)

All things Lush.  This box is a great choice and has some of our favourite products in it.  The Snow Fairy box from Lush. $50  You can’t go wrong with a great smelling box of Lush cosmetics.  Bonus, it’s already wrapped!

Does your teen love make-up.  Most teens do.  Then don’t miss the $66 Naked Eyeshadow palette by Urban Decay available at Sephora. This palette is a perfect blend of eyeshadow and colours great for all skin tones!

How many Secret Santa’s are on your Teens list?  Great for gift exchanges and to stuff in any stocking is this little gift set from Bath and Body Works.  Only $16  Sweet smelling body lotion, shower gel, and fragrance all packaged and ready to go!

Workout Gear.  For the active teen.  From dancers to gymnasts, to volleyball players or even couch surfers everyone loves great workout gear.  One of our new finds; Hyba. Whether you’re a gym goer, yoga lover or a dancer, Hyba’s new winter collection has you covered. The fun prints are perfect for your indoor fitness activities and the thicker, wind resistant, waterproof and lined coats and pants are great for outdoor runs.  We like their cheeky tank tops and at about $30 they are the perfect price point for gifting.

For the teenage son:

Are you ready to splurge?  Invest in only the best, these $280 Beats by Dr. Dre available at Best Buy. Incredible quality headphones that wirelessly connect to any device are sure to be a hit with any Teenager.

If you are looking for comfort and style, head to Sportchek.  Here you can find this great DC Rebel Raglan Men’s Pull Over Hoodie for only $29.  Hmm, this might be good for the Dad’s on your list too! It’s a stylish high-quality hoodie at a fantastic price!

Still stumped for ideas?  Head on over to Walmart and pick up an OtterBox.  Available in a variety of colours and only $49. We prefer the sleek black OtterBox Commuter Series that looks good and helps to protect his phone at the same time.

Also available at Best Buy,  Video Games.  Ranging in price from $30-$80 there are endless choices. The price and choices will vary depending on what sort of gaming system your teenage has, video games are hours of fun for anyone!

Another great gift, a team hat from Lids. Price points start at approximately $30, just be sure to know your Teens favourite team!

Happy Gifting!

      We got our teenage son a heated blanket, tea infuser travel mug from David’s tea (I’m kicking myself for not picking myself up one as we bought during black friday sale so got great deal) and stocking stuffers. The tea mug is seriously the best though, his tea stayed warm for hours today!

      My co-worker was just asking me this week what I thought that her teen girls would like for Christmas. As my girls are still in the tween age group, I wasn’t sure what to recommend. I am definitely going to forward this post to her!

      Nice to see a teen actually telling us the guide, Ive been told I tend too go to young or too old. I bought these pretty Coach sunglasses for my youngest and she told me they were mom glasses. Lol so I got them made into prescription for me.

    Woo hoo - another amazing HomeExchange! This week Woo hoo - another amazing HomeExchange! 
This week we felt all kinds of spoiled in our cozy accommodations in gorgeous Scottsdale. We hiked local trails, snuck in a little golf, drove with the top down, ate all the food, and enjoyed a sweet sunset in our own backyard. All because #Homeexchange provided us with a unique - almost free- way to stay in Arizona and see all the things! 

We had such an amazing time we’re already planning our next adventure!
