With the holidays right around the corner, I find myself texting my siblings to ask them what the heck to get for all the teens in the family. What used to be cool / trendy / something desirable when I was younger is probablyyyyy not what they’re after nowadays LOL. I’ve ended up with quite the list, so wanted to put together a little gift guide to help you out! Below are some (teen-approved) gift ideas for teens! (Also, yes, the first few items on the list happen to be cameras!)
