If you thought choosing gifts for kids was tricky, try shopping for a teenager. No longer a child, but not fully an adult, teenagers fall into their own distinct category, which makes finding the perfect gift a particularly difficult challenge. They’re too old for toys, but a little too young for ultra-luxe duds. Plus, it’s hard to figure out exactly what they want because they feel like they lose interest in things at the snap of a finger. Fret not, though, because we’ve scoured the internet for 35 of the best gifts that are sure to wow all those hard-to-impress teens in your life. From cool tech to stylish monogrammed goodies, there’s something on this list for everyone.
