Ask teenagers what they want for Christmas (or any other holiday or occasion) and more often than not, the answer will be Money! Wanting to please, you respond with gifts of cash only to discover that the money runs through their fingers like water, with no residual value or remembrance of you—the giver—or the occasion for which your gift was given. What do you do the next time you want to give a gift? Keep in mind that most teens enjoy music, driving, sports, parties, junk food, makeup, and friends. |

gift ideas (excerpted from Present Perfect) Give tickets to a concert, play, or movie the teen would like to attend. You might also want to throw in some cash for concessions and souvenirs. Prepaid video rentals and a bushel of snacks make a great gift the teen can share with friends. Give a party at a favorite teen spot. Rent a limo (or loan your car) for a special event—homecoming, an awards banquet, prom night, graduation. Give all the fixin's for the ultimate ice cream sundae. Assemble assorted sauces (fudge, butterscotch, caramel), marshmallow crème, nuts, and candy toppings in a basket. Add an ice cream scoop and a coupon for ice cream or frozen yogurt. Top it off with a can of whipped cream and a jar of maraschino cherries for a gift of total indulgence. Give passes to an amusement park, miniature golf course, water slide, or another popular teen spot. Pass on a family heirloom with a note about its origin and significance. Arrange for a makeover, color analysis, hair styling, contact lenses, or ear piercing to give the teen a new look.
