Christmas Gift Guide for Teenagers

It is said that men may be the worst to buy for but what about teenagers?

If you don’t know your text talk or your Snapchat streaks, then how are you supposed to know what is cool to buy for Christmas? Well the MumsClub team have been working undercover to help you prepare!

 

NERF LASER OPS PRO ALPHAPOINT 2-PACK

£29.49 Argos

The NERF LASER OPS PRO ALPHAPOINT 2-PACK blaster gives players everything needed to face off in an epic head-to-head laser battle. Firing a single-shot IR burst, players can select to face off in teams or in a free-for-all as they send an unlimited supply of shots at opponents using the quick-reload button to replenish the supply at any time. Light and sound effect will notify players when they have been hit, while lights on the back of the blaster display current health status and ammo capacity so you never miss a beat. Players can amp up their laser battles with the NERF LASER OPS app by using the included armbands to attach a smartphone device (not included) to their arms. Use the app to access real-time battle intel allowing players to customize the blasters, track their performance, earn power-ups, and locate opponents during battle. App works with select iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Android devices.

For the avoidance of doubt, we would always make sure that you know your surroundings during use and it is not for use in complete darkness. We have tested different Nerf products over the years but the bonus with the Nerf laser is that you don’t have to replace lost darts.

Although it is suitable for 8+ we have added this into our teen gift guide because it does have an “older” feel to it and we know some “big kids” who would love to battle with this.

 

The Novelty – Non-Novelty Christmas Pyjamas

from £15.99 New Look

Novelty Christmas nightwear can often be a little too babyish for those image conscious teens but not wanting to let go of the novelty jammies, we’ve found this awesome multi colour Elf print pyjama set, which is definitely hovering well below the uncool level in fact we think it’s firmly in the  cult Christmas movie category! For the on trend girls, the Black slogan Friends pyjama set is perfect, a themed t-shirt with cute shorts and are totally the go-to pyjamas for girls this year.

 

Speech Breaker

£13.99 Amazon

The thing we love the most about this is how easy and simple it is to set up and play. It is a brilliant party game for teens and adults: Get up to 10 friends together to play this hilarious game that’s an ideal ice-breaker game for parties, family reunions and game night. The game box includes 100 cards with 400 scenes: Your speech gets messed up as you try to describe the scene to teammates without saying any words on the cards. The microphone jams your speech with a built-in delay. As you talk, you’ll hear your delayed voice through the game headset, making it harder to speak clearly. It gets a big thumbs up from the MC team and we are looking forward to playing it on Christmas Day evening.

Age 14+

One World Futbol™ – WIN!

£35 – Amazon

This is a brilliant way to satisfy three, yes three Christmas needs in one, firstly a game of footie in the garden or at the park  is a great way to burn off those Christmas calories and get some much needed fresh air and family time, second, you can include the dog in the fun as even a fun loving Rottweiler has been unable to burst this ultra-durable football! But not only that, by buying a Futbol™ you’re contributing to an excellent cause; the One World Play Project® which has to date delivered play to an estimated 60 million youth in 185 countries. 5% of every purchase is donated to support play projects for organisations working with children in disadvantaged communities worldwide, where play is scarce or non-existent.

Yubikey – WIN!

£39.00 Yubico

The tech savvy generation will love the YubiKey, as it is a small USB-style stick that enables users to employ a process known as Two-Factor-Authentication (2FA). It enables users to login using both their password and the physical YubiKey to securely access to sites such as Facebook, Gmail, Dropbox, YouTube and other popular services. The combination of using passwords and the YubiKey prevents hackers from accessing your account. Even if credentials were to become compromised, the hacker would still need the user’s physical YubiKey to gain access to their accounts. The YubiKey as a gift may not be the most glamorous gift but for a tech savvy generation that live their lives online, it is a great one.
