My grandmother often complains that it’s impossible to shop for teenagers. So every holiday and birthday, every party and graduation, I help her choose the right gifts for the teens in our family. I’ve taken a proactive step this holiday season, and have already put together a list of 10 great gifts for teens… and I’ve even detailed which gifts are best for which girls! Here’s my list…

Lomography Diana Dreamer Camera

Lomography Diana Dreamer Camera Price: $65.00 at urbanoutfitters.com
Perfect for: the shutterbug
Any teen who’s interested in photography would love this camera. It’s a carefully re-created replica of the popular plastic camera from the 1960’s, with a load of cool upgrades. Film and additional lenses are sold separately, so this gift can be a theme for the year, with everyone buying an add-on to this camera.

This Tree Needs You

This Tree Needs You Price: $24.00 at urbanoutfitters.com
Perfect for: the sweetheart eco-warrior
This poor Charlie Brown tree needs you! It’s a plastic and rough wood replica of the one from the classic animated Christmas movie, complete with sparse needles and one red ornament that just won’t stay put. It comes with a mini Linus blanket to use as a skirt. So cute, and such a perfect gift for the Charlie Brown lover, or eco-warrior, on your holiday list.

Domo String Lights

Domo String Lights Price: $20.00 at urbanoutfitters.com

Domo may look intimidating, but he’s really a softie at heart. For the Domo fan or kawaii-lover on your list, these multi-colored Domo string lights would be a great gift! Each string features 10 Domos in 5 bright colors (2 of each color) and is 12’ long.

Kidrobot's DJ Lance Dunny

Kidrobot's DJ Lance Dunny Price: $10.00 at urbanoutfitters.com
Perfect for: the closet Yo Gabba Gabba fan
Secretly, I have a small crush on DJ Lance. Maybe it’s his smooth dance moves. Or his glasses. And I know I’m not alone in my silent adoration — there are lots of girls who feel the same way! This super-cute DJ Lance Dunny comes with a big fuzzy orange hat and a mini faux boombox. I love it!

Pave Owl Posts

Pave Owl Posts Price: $14.00 at urbanoutfitters.com
Perfect for: the vintage girl, or the indie cutie
These sparkling little owls come in two finishes, silver or brass, and both pairs together would make an ideal gift for the girlon your list who loves vintage, or vintage-inspired, jewelry. They’re small (only a half-inch tall) but make such a big statement.
