About

Christmas Gifts for Teenagers can be a tricky subject... there are those big-ticket tech gifts, and then everything else we hope lands in the "cool enough" category. Given the task of creating our very favourite Christmas Gifts for Teenagers was not one to be taken light-heartedly, I haven't been cool in a very very long time, if at all! This required some serious reinforcements and research groups... imagine the fun of running a "Christmas Gifts for Teenagers" research group... it felt like trying to impress the mean girls at school all over again. Panic not though my friends, we put ourselves through this torture so you didn't have to. This has to be the perfectly curated list of Christmas gifts for teenagers who won't give you any clues, hints, or tips!

Tiles
£25.99
The number of times a day you can hear someone say “where did I leave my phone, keys, etc.” Why are phones always a favourite for any child to hide?

Our top pick is the impossibly small Sticker.
