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.
