Top 5 Gifts For Teens
1) Kid’s Neon Clip-On Skates

Yvolution: Kid’s Neon Clip On Skates - Pop & Lock - Pink
2) Eco-Leather Shoe Laces

Luxe Brand: Eco-Leather Shoe Laces - Royal Blue
3) Rechargeable LED Poi Balls

Not only is this outdoor kid’s toy a spectacle of light, it’s also a great exercise of your coordination and dexterity. The Poi dance traces all the way back to the Maori people in New Zealand. It involves swinging soft LED weights rhythmically to create geometric patterns. This version is lighter and brighter, which is great for beginners of all ages. Start with simple movements and as you try to master more complicated ones, you’ll build flexibility and creativity.
4) Sliding Hair Tie - Metals

Pulleez: Gold Nugget with Champagne Elastic
5) The Acts of Good Journal

Do good deeds, and then pass the encouragement on. This beautifully made motivation journal inspires you to give back through acts of kindness. Record your story then give the book to someone else to fulfill their own act. Once it has made its way through 12 people (and 12 kindness prompts), the journal is returned to the original owner to keep as an inspirational memento.
