What gifts do teens actually use?
Teens use gifts that fit their daily routine — quality earbuds, phone accessories, comfortable hoodies, and items for their room or locker. Avoid anything that feels like it's for a younger kid. When in doubt, gift cards let them pick exactly what they want.
How much should I spend on a teen gift?
For extended family, $25–$50 works well. Parents typically spend $50–$150 per gift. For birthdays among teen friend groups, $15–$30 is standard. Teens understand budgets — a well-chosen $30 gift beats a random $100 one they'll never use.
