What do you get a teenager who has everything?

Try an experience they can share, like a strategy board game for game nights or a film camera that gets them out taking photos. Something new to do tends to beat one more gadget they already own a version of.

Is a game controller a good gift for a teen?

It can be a great pick if it matches the console they already have. A second controller also makes it easier to play with friends or siblings, which many teens will actually use.

What are good gifts for teens who don't play video games?

Board games, a portable speaker, a film camera or a model rocket kit all work without a screen. Pick based on whether they like hanging out with friends, making things or spending time outside.

Teens change interests fast, and they notice right away when a gift feels aimed at a younger kid. Things they can use with friends usually go over best, like board games for a crowded table or a speaker that fills a room with their own music.

How to choose for teens

Find out which gaming system they already own before buying a controller or console accessory, since many don't work across systems.
Choose something social, like a party board game or a portable speaker, so they can use it with friends as well as alone.
For a creative teen, a film camera offers something screens can't, but add a roll or two of film so it works right away.
A model rocketry kit suits a hands-on teen who likes building, especially if an adult can help find an open field for launches.

Usually safe to skip

Toys and games marked for younger ages can feel like a quiet insult at this stage.
Clothing with slogans or trendy logos goes out of style fast and rarely matches their own taste.
Gadgets that need a subscription or extra purchases before they work can turn into a letdown.
