Personalized Double Walled Insulated Stainless Steel Water Bottle Gift for Teens
I live in a very hot part of the country which is Texas. Our summer temperatures reach as high as 106 degrees Fahrenheit. Leaving a drink in a non-insulated container in the car you are sure to come back to a very warm drink. It's wet but does very little to help quench the thirst or be refreshing. For the other exteme you can come back to a car and find your drink frozen!

Either way having an insulated container for water is important not only for comfort but safety. I used to lived in a very cold state in the winter and in my car I always had a flashlight, a blanket, a large bag of sand or cat litter (sand is better for snow), a small shovel, ice scraper, a few pieces of 2x4x3 wood, a candle and matches and water in a insulated container. These are survival items for winter in the cold cold part of the country. In Texas in this very hot climate I always have a flashlight, 1 or 2 umbrellas for protection from the sun or rain, a small blanket, water and more water. The enemy in both cases is dehydration.

Everybody needs water with them at all times and what better way then to have an insulated water bottle with you name on it. I love this idea and since a can put my name on it then it might not disappear and its unbreakable stainless steel.

Finding gifts that are inexpensive and yet very cool for teenagers is difficult to say the least. In the age of electronics every teenager out there has in their hand the one thing that seems to be most important to them, their cell phone. How do you compete with that?


Last year I was pressed real hard to find an adequate gift for 1 teenager and 1 preteen that are a part of my life and so this year I decided to try and get a handle on it so I could put more thought into what I chose for a gift. I just felt like last year I just settled for what I thought they would like and I just was not happy with what I ended up doing.

Granted I got them some nice gifts but I really would have liked to have gotten them gifts that had a little more of a wow affect. This year I started looking early and I have been ripping out pages of ads that come in the mail and making a sort of list.

Then I thought instead of a list I bet there are other people who have the same problem that I do and that is finding a nice, wow, gift for teens. That is what this blog is all about is the gifts that I have found that are adequate for teens that I think they will like.

I think back on when I was a teenager and when I was home my sanctuary was my bedroom. I had posters all over the room and I wished that I could make my bedroom into more of a kind of entertainment room for when I had friends over.

To achieve that I would put my bed against the wall and have beanbag chairs in the room as well as other cool furniture. I record player or tape deck took care of the rocking jams.

Today kids have all their music on their cell phone and so to share that they can use a Bluetooth speaker. I spent a huge amount of time in my room and I bet you did too. With that in mind I picked out gifts that are along those lines.

If you have any ideas you would like for me to share please do in the comments.

Coolest Switchplate Ever Frankenstein Switch Teenagers Gift
Wow, this has to be the coolest switchplate that I have ever seen. I'm not sure it matches my décor but I know it would match any teenagers bedroom décor. I would have loved to invite friends over to my house and have them turn on my light to my room just so I could show this off.

I bet nobody else would have one of these in their room since it is just not something that people find easily. I can imagine just for kicks doing a wild laugh as I turn on the light when inviting friends over.

Upon inspection I think there are a few colors available but this thing is cool and what a great gift. Its unique and something that any teenager is going to like.

Fashionable Tassel With Hidden Lightening Cable Gift For Teens
Tassels are the fashion statement this year so why not carry one that serves the purpose of having an lightening cable hidden among the cuteness and it even comes in different colors.

Did you know that Apple products are used by 24% of the world population? That is a huge amount of people and teenagers are included. In fact I think that over half the teenagers out there use iPhones. This is such a cute way to carry a charging cable. Way better than what I do which is to take my charging cable and tie a wrap around it to keep it neat and carry it in my purse. This is so much better I will probably no only get one as a gift but I think I might get one for myself and just attach it to my purse handle ring as a decoration.

This tassel is so easy to carry since it doubles as a decorative accessory on a purse, backpack, carry on or keychain.

Pokeball Power Bank 2600mAh Gifts for Teens
I have played Pokémon Go and it can really eat up the battery in your phone. Having an external powerbank is a great way to keep playing and charge your phone at the same time. There is just enough power in this battery that it doubles my playing time so I can play and play and play.

I use a backup power bank everytime I find my self somewhere that I need to charge my phone but it just is not convenient to plug in to an outlet to get a charge. Having a portable battery allows me to keep going and I can charge my phone without missing one step.

Note: Pictured are 4 Pokeball Power Banks. If you wish to purchase 4 make sure you set your quantity to 4.
