Teens
No matter what your budget, you can provide a gift for your teen that is as unique as he is. Whether it is something to encourage her computer interests, fulfill his tech fantasies or broaden her horizons beyond the border of her bedroom, giving a unique gift will make the celebration a memorable occasion. Here are some ideas to get you on your way.
Gadgets and Geeks
Both practical and fun, an electronic gadget, toy or tool will delight any tech-minded teen. For the power user, select a solar paneled backpack to help keep him charged up all day and all night. A solar panel on the backpack can recharge iPods, cell phones and even lap top batteries with a few extra accessories and is a great gift for the teen who constantly uses power-greedy devices.
If you are not able to purchase a new lap or desk top computer for your teen, purchase a USB drum kit that enables your tech rocker to play the drums on her computer with just a tap of a mini-stick. A fun diversion while doing homework, a simple plug-and-play drum set that doesn't take up any space will thrill your teen.
Be a hero by presenting your teen computer geek with her own stock certificate for Microsoft. One share is an affordable choice and makes a teen feel involved in the market. Frame the certificate for that extra touch. See links below for details on purchase.
Teen Adventures
All About Visiting Earth organizes a variety of adventures both domestically and abroad just for teens. Whether it's a wilderness adventure, a surfing trip or a real journey of discovery in Asia, Africa or Australia, a teen adventure trip is not just a gift idea for a birthday or graduation, but a gift of confidence and a greater world view that will last the rest of your teen's life.
Well organized and available for a variety of ages, trips usually last about a month. Food and shelter are included. Add a digital camera to the gift so you can share the adventure when she returns.
Extreme Sports
Get your teen the Razor Ripstick for this new spin on the classic skateboard. A perfect choice for your extreme sports nut who has already mastered skateboard tricks and snowboarding, this unique device is lightweight and combines all the challenges of traditional skateboards, snowboards and surfing. Available in exciting colors to further personalize the gift.
