Overheard in the family chat

5 questions · Santa replied to all of them

  1. Mom

    What do teens want for Christmas?

    Santa

    The easiest way to know is to ask, or to look at what they already use every day. Gadgets, clothes they feel good in, gift cards and experiences with friends are all safe bets.

  2. Dad

    Are gift cards a good Christmas gift for teenagers?

    Santa

    Yes. A gift card to a store they love lets them choose for themselves. Put it in a card with a few warm words so it feels like more than a card.

  3. Grandma

    What's a good gift for a teen who has everything?

    Santa

    Try an experience: concert tickets, lessons, or a day out with a friend. Something to do often means more than something to keep.

  4. Mom

    Should gifts for teen boys and girls be different?

    Santa

    Not really. Most ideas here work for any teen. Go by their interests, not a list for boys or girls.

  5. Dad

    How much should I spend on a teenager's Christmas gift?

    Santa

    Whatever suits your family. If you have more than one child, many parents aim for gifts that feel fair rather than costing exactly the same.
