Let’s be honest, teens and tweens may be almost the worst on your gift list to shop for this year. BUT (!) don’t let that discourage you. After all, you’re not like a regular mom, you’re a cool mom. If it’s one thing we know, it’s that you’ll never give them everything they want – and their “friends” willprobably always one-up them, so why not buy them something with a bit of a “cool” factor. The fact that we put “cool” in quotes, means we are not. This demographic can definitely be tough to buy for, especially if you’ve got a teen boy on your shopping list.
There really areso many gift ideas out there that it can be pretty overwhelming. We’ve done all our teen research from a variety of sources, asked our own teenagers (and their pesky friends), and have truly come up with the ultimate guide no matter if you’re looking for the perfect present for their birthday, the Christmas season, the fact that they’ve “completed” learn from home, orjust because you’re feeling nice.
How did we choose?
Research, and more research – in both, the investigative sense and the personal sense. With three kids who fall into this exact demographic, we’ve purchased a lot of gifts over the years. Everything we’ve chosen, we’ve either purchased ourselves (in other words, nothing was gifted to us) whether it was for our own kids, extended family members, friends, or extensively researched product reviews. With that being said, we’ve listed pros and cons for each gift idea. For example, while the latest and greatest AirPods might be at the top of their list, they’ll carry a higher price than previous generations – but previous generations tend to work just as well, and can be significantly cheaper.
To help you get through your gift-giving list, we’re including a well-rounded list of inspiration and ideas like:
→ LED Strip lights that change colors for total vibes
→ A cold case murder mystery game for family game night with teens
→ A portable charger so they can’t use the old “my phone died” excuse
→ A portable waterproof bluetooth speaker so they can take their tunes anywhere
Check out the official list of some of the best gifts for your teens (and your tweens) in 2023. Teenagers.Am I right?

Choose your beads, then add stretchy string, jump rings, clasps and crimps, a clasp closer and a case for them to fill with a variety of beads you can sort by color. Pick it up here.
4.
LED Strip Lights with Remote Control
hand picked favorite for the kid who loves to step up their room decor game
Pros:
- These strip lights are so easy to set up.
- They can choose their favorite hue, or cycle through color changing options.
Cons:
- When they’re lit up at night, it can look a little like a mad scientist’s lab to passersby.

- Did we mention things can look a little crazy to passersby?
Available in 16.4 feet, or 32.8 feet, these LED lights instantly change the whole vibe in their space. And as we all know, vibes are everything.

This even looks cool. We find this one to be a great pick, especially if you have a “no phones in the bedroom at night” rule. It eliminates the excuse of keeping the phone by bed for the alarm clock. Features an LED display – with snooze, (because who doesn’t hit snooze!?), dual USB charging ports and adjustable brightness. Pick it up here.

- We forced them. And they actually enjoyed it!
- This is perfect for teens who love mysteries, SVU or crime solving in general.
Cons:
- It’s definitely a little over tweens’ heads. Our teen loved it, and our tweens wanted to love it – but struggled.
- Once they solve the crime, they can’t un-solve it. So, they’ll probably want to pass it along to another group and grab another one to play.
This murder mystery game is great for a non-lame game night, with families who have teens and older kids. Figure out who the best detective in the family is (mom). In order to solve this cold case murder, players need to find 3 separate clues that crack open the case. First prove why the convicted man must be innocent.
