Hard to buy for people: perfect gifts for teenagers

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
