Bluetooth Beanie Hat – A Unique Tech gift for teenagers. This Bluetooth Beanie is one of the most advanced technologies combining both the functionality of the headphones and a fashion statement.
This would make an amazing Christmas gift for someone on your list this year. After some research, we decided not buying the top-of-the-line version was a smart and reasonable choice. This one is a lot of fun to fly around and take video with – Holy Stone HS120D GPS Drone with Camera. It can perform automatically return home when the drone loses its signal.
Another thing Teens and Tweens like is video gaming. Therefore they need headphones and a mic! Surround Stereo Gaming Headset Over-Ear Headphones are a good choice. Lightweight and breathable.
Teens love photos so why not give them a Portable and Flexible Phone Tripod with Wireless Remote to capture fun moments with friends! It’s very sturdy and the swivel action on the head is fantastic.
This Fujifilm Instax Mini Instant Camera is perfect for getting instant gratification! Point and shoot, and you’ve got your picture! Great for selfies too! Don’t forget to get extra film!
Teens are into these string lights this year! These lights also offer a fun way to feature photos and mementos. They work well with many decor types, including dorm rooms, bedrooms, and hangout spots.
Games
The hot game this year for teenagers is Kids Against Maturity: Card Game for Kids and Families. Super fun and hilarious game to play on game night.
T(w)eens are fun to play games with. No, really! Get them going, and they are all in. Bounce-Off
is the ultimate head-to-head competition game. You race to recreate the pattern on the challenge card by bouncing balls into the grid. The first color to complete the pattern wins the card! Active and fun!
Get ready for a hilarious and unpredictable game night. Quelf 
is a board game that gives Random a new name. Winner of over 6 awards, including Board Game Of The Year, Quelf will make you laugh until you cry! We played it the other night and had a blast! Even our son, who’s tough to please, had a good time and cracked a smile.
There are no right or wrong answers, just read each card aloud and follow the instructions!
Taboo challenges you to guess words and phrases. You lose a point if you use any of the Taboo words. It’s that simple. When the describer uses any Taboo words, someone uses the squeaker to squeak at them. Our kids love that part!
A new game that is fun to play is What Do You Meme? Family Edition. The hilarious game you know and love, now with all the R-rated content removed for family-friendly fun.
Beat That! – The Bonkers Battle of Wacky Challenges for hours of fun. Bet on your skills with solo challenges, battle royales, buddy ups, and duels. It takes just seconds to learn, guarantees hours of belly-busting laughter!

This toy fits comfortably in your hand for hours of mind-challenging fun.
And Finally, Some Great Stocking Stuffers for Teens and Tweens:

- Gift Cards. Amazon, GameStop, or Sephora are good bets.
