Honesty I think the hardest group to buy for are teens. It seems like whenever I ask one of my teenaged nieces/nephews/cousins what they want for Christmas, they always say things like money or gift cards, but what’s the fun in that on Christmas morning? Everyone loves to have a gift that they can open and get excited about, whether they believe in Santa or not.
