The holidays are coming and not only do I have Christmas gifts to buy but both of my kids were born in November and December!  I am always on the lookout for cool gifts for teens and this year I have found a few that I totally want to keep for myself!  I thought I would share my finds with you in case your own teens are hard to shop for.  Check out my post about gifts for techies  if your teenager is a huge technology fanatic like mine are. If they are photography buffs, check out my macrophotography post using the Olloclip lens for my iPhone.

 

Cool Gifts for Teens That You Will Want to Keep For Yourself!

Okay, obviously all teens have their own personal likes and dislikes.  I am going to include a few unique gift ideas that they may enjoy.  You could pair it with a gift card to their favorite store or a splurge on a concert experience or fun family activities that they would enjoy. I am all for reducing the number of gifts and increasing the number of experiences!
