If you’re not a teenager buying for another teenager, it can be hard to know exactly what they might like. Fashion, crazes, and trends are routinely changing, and what’s considered new and a must-have one week can fall out of favour the next, or so it seems.

Gift buying shouldn’t ever feel like a task or be a chore that you despise. Instead, you should be excited to give your present, and feel confident that the recipient will enjoy the gift, and be appreciative. If you’ve got a teen to buy for, then be sure to take note of the following list and figure out how to make them happy and, most importantly, get it right.

Cosiness

Wanting to feel warm in winter is universally sought after, regardless of age. You want to feel comforted, taken care of, and nourished. With this in mind, you can’t go wrong with items such as blankets, cushions, warm furry slippers to be worn inside, a large encompassing dressing gown, scented candles, and a hot water bottle with a real fur cover.

Winter days are long, bleak, and dark, and lighting is crucial to feeling snuggly and comforted. So, a small bedroom lamp could be the answer to different gift considerations, as well as a bookshop voucher so that they can select a publication of their choosing.

Driving lessons Most teenagers are eager to get behind the wheel of a car and have their own freedom. Booking them in to receive a block of four lessons should fill them with joy with winter and make them hugely excited to get driving on the roads, hopefully in time for summer. If they’re yet to pass their theory test, then purchasing the necessary literature and covering the cost of the examination should also be massively appreciated. If you wanted to be even more organized you could potentially look into buying them their own car for when they finally succeed in passing their driving test. If you were curious about financing you might want to use an invoice price calculator as a tool for helping you to buy that all-important first car.

Sports gear

Many teens adore being a part of their school, college, or university sports teams. Sports gear and equipment can be extraordinarily expensive, however, and finding the funds as a student can be a worry and near downright impossible. Many students returned to their education courses in September and joined sporting teams, or begin playing soon after as the prime sporting season starts.

Ask them what they need, and what’s going to improve their performance in order to consider what to buy them. In cases like these, however, it’s best not to choose yourself as they will ultimately know best, so taking them shopping is going to your best approach in this situation or giving them money.

A spa experience

There aren’t many individuals who wouldn’t enjoy stepping in from the cold for a day and relaxing in saunas and beside a heated swimming pool at the spa. Not only do they provide the ultimate fix of relaxation and contentment, but they can help to boost wellness and feelings of happiness and self-confidence.

Many spas feature massage facilities, so think about booking the teen in your life to receive a head massage, hot stone massage, or luxurious full body massage. Before going ahead and booking the spa day and treatment, be sure to seek the go-ahead that this is something that they might enjoy, as not everyone would relish in the idea. Perhaps mention your own experience having attended and gauge their reaction. Ask them whether they like the sound of it without giving too much away.
