Music stuff! Sure, you could go to one of our incredible locally owned record stores and pick out some wholesome music for your teen ⌠that is if you enjoy receiving eye rolls as a thank you. Instead, why not get a $25 gift certificate and let your teen pick out what he or she wants?
$50
Custom Minimate! Everyone who knows a teen knows they know everything and are total narcissists, so get them the gift that says, âYouâre not such a big deal, hotshot!â Yes, Iâm talking about a 4-inch version of your teen! thatsmyface.com; ($49).

A private skate party! Whether your teens ride skateboards, scooters, or BMX bikes, the A-Town Skate Park is the perfect place for them and their besties to have some fun. You can reserve the venue for a two-hour private party for $100. 5493 Traffic Way, Atascadero; 461-7606.
$250
The cool new gaming system! Sure, you want your teens to go out and play, use their imaginations, but sometimes itâs easier to stick a screen in their facesâespecially on a road tripâand the hottest newest handheld is the Nintendo 3DS XL ($199.99).
Wild Card
Just buy their damn love! Face it. Youâre broken. Youâve given up. All your teens want to do is sequester themselves in their rooms and kill zombies. Let them do it in style with the new Sony PlayStation 4 ($399) and a Toshiba 40â flatscreen ($329). Yes, youâre a terrible parent, and you bought your teenâs love, but at least theyâve stopped bugging you. â Glen Starkey
