Give your teen the gift of your time. Make a date to take them someplace they really want to go - take them out to dinner, etc. Make it about more than just "we'll go shopping and you can get stuff." Spend some time getting to know your teenager.

Sandy V commented on November 18, 2009 - Teens want time with their friends, but they also want and need time with their parents. Making a date lets the teens know they are still important, and parents are still fun : )

Books - There are AMAZING young adult books out there for any reader. If you're in the MN area, visit the Red Balloon bookshop on Grand, they can help you pick out fabulous books.

Sandy D commented on November 13, 2009 - For the almost-to-college crowd might appreciate the less read classics (like Lolita) or poetry (Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton or Pablo Neruda) - if only to impress the girls.

Warm fuzzy blankets & Pillows. We gave our 3 teens (10, 13, 17) these last year and I was amazed how much they loved them. We also hosted a teenager from Germany last year and she loved her's too.

Everything teenagers want these days costs mega bucks.....this is tough when you have relatives wanting to buy them a little something..... we tell everyone to buy them Amazon gift cards then they can compile them and buy something they really want!

Jewelry is a big hit if your daughter/cousin/sister is into that. My sister has a lot of silver but I bought her some chunky matching jewelry. Also if she is into the Twilight Series, they have a ton of things online and at book stores for the movies!

Portable DVD player. Useful and something anyone who likes movies will love. I got one for Christmas and it's like a magnet for everyone.

Teens should also start learning to think of others, not just themselves. Ask your child to pick out a charity that they would like donated to - and then to "donate" one of their gifts to that charity. So, if you were going to spend $50, it goes there.

Driving Teenagers - My daughter and her friends love to hang out at Applebee's (Friday night & 1/2 price appetizers). Gift certificates for the kids "hang out" place are great gift ideas for then and she often gives her friends these too.

Gift cards at local movie houses are perfect. I've always used them for teens, and they never failed to please.
