Far from boring Gifts For Teenagers | Gifts For Teenagers from GettingPersonal.co.uk

27 August 2009

Buying gifts for teenagers is never an easy task. Even those of us who are 'hip' enough to know what is cool, will no doubt, from time to time, still get it a bit wrong. Indeed, perhaps the biggest mistake that you can make when buying gifts for teenagers is to purchase something run of the mill, and ordinary. However, if you purchase something which is 'far from boring', unique, quirky and personalised or individual, then you at least stand a chance of getting it right!

Once girls hit their teenage years you can no longer guarantee that purchasing something 'pink' will be enough to ensure your gift is well received (however, a princess telephone in electric pink may just do the trick...). Indeed, there are many girlie gifts for teenagers that, as well as being 'far from boring', should raise a smile on even the stroppiest of teenage faces!

A Naughty but Nice Lip Gloss pack, for example, is a cool and funky way to allow teenage girls to experiment with make-up, but in a 'safe' not very grown up, manner. Flavours, such as Chocolate Cream, Cream Tart, Strawberry Cream and Raspberry Cream, are all presented in little cupcake containers, that look good enough to eat! (Although this is not recommended!).

If however, you are looking for gifts for teenagers, that can be eaten, then look no further than a Chocolate Clock. All teenage girls (in fact, all females) will want one of these fantastic inventions, which are basically an updated version of a cuckoo clock, albeit one that dispenses chocolate! And, no could ever say that having chocolate dispensed to you every hour, on the hour, is boring!

Buying gifts for teenagers gets even more difficult once teenagers hit that 'eco-warrior, vegetarian, hug a tree stage'. However, help is on hand with 'animal adoption gift packs'. Adopt a Snow Leopard, Penguin, Dolphin or Tiger, and receive a fabulous gift pack that includes an adoption certificate, information fact sheets all about that animal, and a cute little replica cuddly toy (aww!).

If you really want to push the boat out, then how about buying the ultimate in 'animal friendly' gifts for teenagers? An opportunity to shadow a zoo keeper for the day! This amazing gift will give your teenager the chance to experience what it's like to work in a zoo for the day. They will be involved in preparing food, and feeding of the animals, as well as helping out with the day to day events. This is a truly fantastic gift that may even set your teenager off on a career path!

When it comes to teenage boys, humour is definitely the way to go. What teenage boy would turn down a 'crime scene toilet roll'? Indeed, facing facts, a basic teenager's diet of 'leading branded cola and globally recognised fast food chain burgers' is sure to result in the occasional toilet crime! Sticking with humour, a remote controlled tarantula is sure to get a few laughs (as well as much swearing and lots of shrieking!).

The next, and definitely the most bizarre of the recommended gifts for teenagers, is a 'grow your own carnivorous plant set'. Definitely not reserved just for the green fingered, this 'grow your own' set is surprisingly popular with teenagers, and why not? After all, how cool is a plant that eats flies? The answer is... very cool indeed!

If you are looking for gifts for teenagers for very special occasions, then how about a helicopter ride? This thrilling gift will give your teenager something to text their mates and fill their MySpace page up with! The Helicopter Buzz gift comes presented in a stunning gift pack (the voucher must be used within nine months, but who is going to wait that long?!), and makes for an exciting gift for anyone over the age of twelve!

If the teenager in your life is a bit arty-farty, and into 'expression', then you might like to consider a Graffiti T-shirt. This superb T-shirt has a little display unit, upon which your teenager can scribble and scribe, and which will be animated and displayed. Fully reusable, you will be hard pressed to find a teenager who does not think this is super cool!

Sticking with arty crafty gifts, how about a Picture Collage Clock? This will look good on any wall, and will especially fit in to a 'me, me, me... ooh and more about me' self centred teenager's bedroom! With ample space to display photos, (twelve, to be precise– one for each hour!) this is one groovy arty clock.
