How do I know that every teen on the planet hates everything? I was one .
Look, teens (and even tweens) are hard to please, and that's okay. Remember when you were 15 and pretty much everything in the world forced an emphatic eye roll out of you? I definitely do.
While I may not have any teens or tweens in my life (at least, for now), I can at least sympathize with the parents out there who have to shop for their hard-to-please kids. Hey, it wasn't so long ago that I was terrorizing my own parents with my crazy teen drama, so, like, I get it.

It's been a while since I was a teen, yes, but I know that something really never change. And one of those things is that teens are all about hanging in their rooms and listening to music (at all volumes). One thing I like about this little speaker , other than it being so cute, is that it's small enough to sit on a desk while they do homework and likely doesn't get loud enough for mom and dad to complain about. Win-win. “ViewThis Phone Dock Printer That Lets Them Print Their Favorite Instas

It's a pen and a 3D printer all in one. How can you resist? As an artistic kid, I would have absolutely loved having this thing. It allows you to "draw" stuff in such a unique way, by using plastic filaments to create small objects in real-time. Who doesn't love wasting time with technology, anyway? “ViewThis Inflatable Lounger That Is Perfect For Beach Days
Honestly, you don't have to be a teen to enjoy this gift, but teens can especially enjoy taking it wherever they go. This inflatable lounger doesn't need a pump or a person with a big lung capacity to fill up, so it's super portable too. They can use it at the beach, at the park, on the quad, or wherever they can do some outdoor lounging. It's even big enough for two people. “ViewThis Drawing Book That Helps Them Level Up Their Skills
If there's anything a teen likes, it's being able to express themselves. This book shows them how to draw all kinds of things, as well as the basics of art drawing, including shading, lines, and depth. There are actually a few books in this series.

Keep their tech stuff safe and fully charged with this phone dock , which has a place for a phone charger, Apple Watch charger, and Airpods charger. “ViewThis Paint Pour Kit That Lets Them Create Trippy Art
Paint pouring is a fun and easy way to create interesting pieces of art. It basically requires little skills, other than mixing paint, so it's perfect for tweens and teens who just want to make something special (without a ton of effort). Not only are the results crazy and psychedelic, watching that colorful paint pour is strangely satisfying. “ViewThis Target Game That They Can Play With Their Younger Siblings
Give the gift of family bonding over toys, that's my motto. This Nerf gun toy is basically a target practice game that can be enjoyed by teens, tweens, or even their slightly younger siblings. When they open this gift, you know they're going to want to open it immediately and start playing. Sure, you'll have Nerf bits little all over the house, but your moody teen might actually smile! “ViewThis Warm Beanie That Doubles As Wireless Headphones

Yes, you'll probably need earplugs because you know they'll be blasting their Spotify playlist morning, noon, and night. “ViewThis Dart Blaster That Is A Replica Of The One In Fortnite
Playing Fortnite isn't just for gaming consoles anymore. This toy blaster is a replica of the same one that's in the video game, so your tween or teen can feel like they're actually inside the game itself.

Teen years are embarrassing enough. This simple light-up mirror can go anywhere, from their backpack to their locker. “ViewThis Card Game That Pits Taco Against Burrito

They're also good as regular paper clips or bookmarks too if your teen needs some good desk supplies that are a little less basic. “ViewThis Caster Board That They'll Basically Be Skating On 24/7
This razor caster board is a little more than just a skateboard. First of all, it only has two wheels that are on 360-degree casters and a top that pivots with your movement, so it has a different type of balance and maneuverability.

Everyone needs a good bag, even your teen. This sling bag is comfortable and an excellent size for different things. They can take it hiking, camping, shopping or to the beach.

These fun stencils are more than just a way to paint their nails. They come in cool patterns so your teen can design any kind of manicure they want. There are stripes, fish scales (or scallops), hearts, a Moroccan design, or a whole pack of different ones to choose from. Plus, it's a pretty good price point if you're looking for something fun to put in your teen's stocking. “ViewThese Wireless Earbuds That Are Just The Right Size For Their Backpack
You've probably noticed by now that music is a big draw for teen gifts. One benefit of giving them a good set of headphones that seems to be left unsaid is that if they have those in their ears, they don't have to blast their tunes over the house.
