Reading Corner :: Awesome Gift Ideas For The Teenage Dude
If you're struggling to find the perfect gift for the teenage
boy on your Christmas list, here are some gift ideas to get you
started.
Paintball
What is the natural instinct that drives teenage boys to want to
hunt each other down? Whatever it is, you can feed this instinct
safely by giving a gift of paintball guns and equipment. There
are complete kits you can purchase at retail stores for
reasonable prices. .
Car Accessories
A gift of car accessories is a sure win if the teenage boy on
your list is old enough to drive and has his own car. Even for
the teenage boy who is not driving yet, this could be a great
gift. Young guys dream of owning their first set of wheels. A
gift of car wax and other cleaning supplies allow him to pamper
his new toy. Seat covers or other decorative accessories let him
give his car a personal touch. Black Light Lamp
Black light lamps are back, and any teenage boy on your list is
likely to want one. Get him one for his room and find out what
glows in the dark. Many posters and other decorative accessories
are available now that spring to life under a black light.
Consumer Electronics Gift Certificate
Gadgets and entertainment equipment are always a hit with
teenage boys. A gift certificate to a consumer electronics store
will give him an excuse to check out all of the latest TVs,
stereo equipment, and computers. This is also the place where he
can find his favorite music and video games. If you don't have a
suitable store in your area, the young guy on your list can do
all his shopping there online.
Team Jersey
The majority of teenage boys are into some sort of sport.
Whether it is basketball, football, baseball, or NASCAR racing,
he most likely has a favorite team or sports hero. Buy him a
jersey from his team. Even better, find a jersey with the number
of his favorite player.
Jeans
Most teenage boys wear jeans most of the time, which means they
always need new ones. Just make sure you buy the style he likes.
Some teenage boys like snug-fitting jeans, while others like
their jeans baggy. Carpenter or painter jeans are also popular.
Whatever the style, this is the "can't miss" gift, because there
is no such thing as too many jeans.
Jewelry
Yes -- jewelry! Jewelry is becoming increasingly popular, in one
form or another, among teenage guys. For rockers, tribal or
beaded necklaces will be a hit. They might also like a stud or
hoop earring. Preppy guys often like to wear fashionable rings
or bracelets. If you aren't too sure about jewelry, try a watch.
With such a wide variety of watch styles available, you'll be
certain to find one to fit any teenage boy's taste.
Snowboard
Christmas is a great time for winter sports. This year might be
the perfect opportunity for your teenager to get into
snowboarding, and simple snowboards can be purchased at a
relatively low price. The thrill of conquering a new challenge
motivates many a teenage boy, and snowboarding will give him a
way to release some energy and add excitement to the winter
months.
Video Game Magazine Subscription
Generally speaking, teenage boys are suckers for video games. If
the guy on your list has a game system, such as X-Box,
PlayStation, or Nintendo, you can get him a subscription to the
corresponding magazine. He'll get inside information and screen
shots from upcoming games, ratings of current games, and, best
of all -- demo discs. These demo discs let him play portions of
games before they even come out, which helps him decide what
games he really likes and wants to buy.
Portable CD Player
Boys love noise -- and their favorite kind is music. Whatever
his music preferences, the teenage boy on your list is most
likely to be passionate about his bands. With a portable CD
player he can listen to his music anytime, anywhere, and you
won't have to hear it.
Mission Accomplished
Head out to the mall armed with the above list and a little
shopping savvy, and you have a way better chance of finding the
ideal gift. Soon he will be saying, "DUDE, that is so cool!"
