Teenagers are a pretty hard group to buy Christmas presents for. Get them something aimed too young and they'll be insulted. Too old and its boring. Plus anything without a certain cool factor is likely to get discarded. They're a grumpy bunch!
If you want something that will put a smile on their face, as well as making you one of the coolest people they know, try shopping at Firebox. This is stuff that you won't find all over the high street (so they'll get it before their friends do).
For Girls
Tooth Tunes High School Musical version £7.95
One for any teen that likes High School Musical (and there are a lot of them out there). This clever toothbrush will play a song from the second film (What Time Is It) while they brush their teeth. Clever noise conducting science means they can only hear the sound in their heads, so you won't be annoyed by the music. Plus as the tune lasts 2 minutes it helps time teeth brushing.
PoGo Instant Photo Printer £99.95
This would be a brilliant present for anyone who likes taking snaps on their mobile (that would be all teenage girls then). A dinky pocket-sized printer, it lets you send pics to it via the wireless bluetooth connection, and prints them off instantly. It uses special paper that doesn't require messy ink cartridges too.
For Boys
V-Beat Drumsticks £19.95
These are like having an invisible drum kit. The motion-sensitive sticks make sounds just like a drum kit, but without having to take up lots of space. Great fun.
TandemZ-1 Micro Chopper £34.95
Better than the average remote controlled helicopter, this one has two rotors! Its only 17cm long, so is best flown indoors. It takes a bit of time to learn to fly it, but comes with training aids to help get you going.
For all teenagers
Busbi Digital Video Camera £34.95
If your teenager is a budding youtube celebrity, but wants to take the next step beyond filming on their mobile, this pocket film camera is perfect. It films using simple one button technology, making filming and uploading a doddle.
Hanging Alarm Clock £19.95
Teens seem to need more sleep than the rest of us, and yet always want to stay up late. This makes it virtually impossible to get them out of bed in the morning. Which means this fun alarm clock is the perfect pressie. It hangs on a cable from the ceiling above your bed, and as soon as the alarm goes off starts to travel upwards, meaning you must get out of bed and reach up to turn it off!
