23. Diary/journal 

If the teenager you want to give a gift to has a knack for writing, then a diary is the appropriate thing. It is also a brilliant way of expressing yourself and confiding special secrets.​Diary writing is a brilliant idea for children because it helps them organize their thoughts and express themselves. They get used to writing every day and become fluent.

Keeping a private diary enables children to explore thoughts and feelings that they may not want other people to be privy to. Writing them down can help children to process these feelings, work out how they feel about people, events and situations, and even come around to new ways of thinking​. This is one of the most useful gifts for teens.

If​ they like to stay organized and write everything down, a​journal is a beautiful gift to remind someone you care about that the life they live is worth recording and that you believe in their ability to create a kick-ass life story. Also, both journals and diary can be used to note down important things and events.

 

24. Handmade stuff 

Handmade cards or gifts are anytime way better than materialistic gifts because they depict the true emotions and love of the giver. If you can put in a little effort and time, then nothing is more valuable and cherishable than handmade stuff. When they will look back on those cards and notes after 20 years all the memories will flashback.

Teens are a daunting demographic to buy for. They’re often the first people clued into hype products and cultural phenomena that you’re probably not as aware of but they also don’t have the pockets to buy everything for themselves, this leaves plenty of opportunities open for you. Gifts for teens should be such that it is of their area of interest as well as useful. We should encourage them to do whatever they feel good at doing and accordingly give them gifts so that they feel and know that their elders want them to outshine in whatever they do.
