ISO gift ideas for multiple tweens / teens

[jgenie]

We have 5 girls and 5 boys we buy Christmas presents for. I usually buy them all gift cards but I’m looking for ideas for actual gifts to buy. I usually do $50 gift cards but would really like to spend less this year. The girls range in age from 12 - 22. The boys range in age from 12 - 15. Any ideas? TIA

Hydroflask cups of some variety
throw blankets
those sequin pillows that you can "draw" on
board games- Cards Against Humanity for the over 18s, Exploding Kittens for any age (gift receipts for any, just in case)
Cozy Cabin socks (Dick's Sporting Goods)- they also have hats and other cozy stuff
coffee and chocolate
booze for the ones old enough

There are lots of good Bluetooth speaker options around $25-30.

Are the Pura Vida bracelets too young for the younger range of girls 12 - 15?

I like this idea and I know my 15 yo niece would too. :)

For the girls, maybe some stuff from Bath and Body Works? That seems to be a big hit of girls of all ages. For the boys, I have no clue since i have 3 girls, and all of my nieces are girls!

DD (12) and her friends looooove bath and body works. Parents are not so thrilled since that stuff is smelly. [emoji23] we always joke about how we are going to get each other’s kids bath and body works gift cards for their birthdays.

My 12 year old is giving them to her friends as gifts. Not sure about older than that.

I have a boy and a girl in that age range and they would enjoy good earbuds, board or card games, and of course gift cards. This is a challenging age! My dd would not wear the bracelet at 15 but some of her friends would.

OK, not everyone will love these socks, but I personally find them funny. There are a lot with swears on them, but some teens would like without swears, such as 'stop talking', 'I'm a special unicorn', 'I love you weirdo', and 'you're killing my vibe' socks:

I still say buy a lower priced gift card and then just get them a little something extra to unwrap. My kids’ fave gifts are $, gift cards, and food (the junkier the better, like Oreo’s).

For BOYS - Fun socks and tees. These Stance socks are two of DS’s faves...high quality and fun prints:

I purchase a lot of funky tees off of Woot. DS’s fave tee is “It’s What I Do...I Read Stuff and Know Things” (the kid always has his nose in a book...even when he shouldn’t)

FOR GIRLS...
This varies soooo greatly. I have one kid who’d love Bath Body Works and jewelry and one kid who wants Nike tees, crocs, soccer shorts, ear buds, a new phone case, and Oreo’s...she frowns upon anything fancy, colorful, and girly. Ohhhh...she DOES love cozy fuzzy blankets though!!

Stressing again...Gift cards are sooo appreciated (and, bonus, EASY!)...and junk FOOD! 😉
